Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by Black Belt Digital Marketing and AcademySafe.org

In Episode 191 of the @JiuJitsuDummies podcast, we sit down with Black Belt Chris Mierzwiak from @MeruBJJ and @WODIFY to dive deep into the business and lifestyle of Jiu-Jitsu.

From the journey of starting an academy to building a sustainable and thriving student base, this episode is packed with real-world insight for academy owners and instructors alike.

We also explore how tools like @WODIFY can be leveraged as a powerful CRM to streamline operations, improve student retention, and ultimately help grow your academy.

Whether you’re already running an academy or thinking about opening one, this conversation covers what it really takes to succeed, on and off the mats. Plus, we mix in plenty of Jiu-Jitsu talk, mindset, and community perspectives that make this art so powerful.
