On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by ADCC veteran and BJJ black belt John Hansen.

John discusses bouncing around gyms initially and then finding a consistent training environment, when his life started to change into a more positive directions, 5 things all grappling is based around, how his training has changed as he has gotten older, getting things that you want in training and having a more narrow focus on success and failure, what has moved the needle most in his training, his thoughts on goal setting, his focus on hand fighting, his biggest regret, and having the ability to fixate on things that are important to you.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
