It’s been a minute.
You-Jitsu started as a way to help white belts not quit. It grew into structured conversations about fundamentals, plateaus, and survival. That still matters.
But this version is different.
At 52 and now a purple belt, I’m less interested in collecting techniques and more interested in building a game that fits who I am right now. This episode resets the direction of the show around longevity, alignment, and the long game of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
We talk about why talent isn’t the dividing line, time is. Why do steady people become dangerous?
Why do most adults training in 2026 need to focus more on volume? And why still being in the room matters more than being the best in it.
Next episode, we tackle something honest: why most people quit Jiu-Jitsu.
If you’re here to build something that lasts, you’re in the right place.
