In this episode, I sit down with William Knott — Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, coach at Ethos Karratha, and youth officer at the Karratha Youth Shed. With 16 years on the mats, Will has mastered sweeps, submissions, and the art of turning struggle into strength. Off the mats, he’s mentoring young people and helping them find better positions in life.

We talk about:

• Will’s journey from Wellington to Karratha via Abu Dhabi and beyond
• What Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu really is (and why it’s for everyone)
• Lessons in humility, ego, and resilience that carry from the mats into life
• The challenges and rewards of mentoring Karratha’s youth
• Building community through martial arts in a remote town

From “murder yoga” to mentoring, Will’s story shows how discipline and connection can change lives.

🎧 Tune in for an episode full of grit, humour, and heart.
