In this episode, Steve Kwan is joined by Rosie Miller to explore the concept of the “tryhard hobbyist” in Jiu-Jitsu: someone who trains seriously and with intention, even if they don’t pursue the sport professionally. Rosie, a brown belt out of Atos HQ and founder of The Grappler’s Lab, shares her journey of evolving goals, identity, and self-worth within the sport. Together, they discuss the emotional and mental challenges hobbyists face, including impostor syndrome, burnout, risk management, and the struggle to balance ambition with sustainability. Rosie offers a values-based framework to help practitioners define their goals, align training with life priorities, and find long-term fulfillment in Jiu-Jitsu, regardless of competitive aspirations.

Mini Ep. 62: The Red Queen Effect

In this week's mini-episode we discuss **the Red Queen effect,** a hypothesis based on a quote from Alice in Wonderland that is oddly applicable to science and Jiu-Jitsu! It teaches us that sometimes we need to keep moving just to maintain our position. The Red Queen effect helps explain why we don't feel like we're getting better at Jiu-Jitsu when we compare ourselves to our training partners.

In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan of BJJ Mental Models and Jeff Shaw of Bellingham BJJ uncover the forgotten history of Jiu-Jitsu in America, and how none other than President Theodore Roosevelt played a pivotal role in its rise. Between 1900 and 1906, Roosevelt brought Jiu-Jitsu into the White House, trained with Japanese masters, and helped spark a nationwide media craze that once made Jiu-Jitsu a household name. But the movement was derailed by xenophobia, racism, and short-sighted politics, costing the U.S. what could have been a century-long head start in martial arts. This conversation explores what Roosevelt’s story tells us about inclusion, politics, and what Jiu-Jitsu might have become if America had embraced its potential. ⸻ 👥 Featuring: Steve Kwan @BJJMentalModels Jeff Shaw @BellinghamBJJ ⸻ 🧠 Topics We Cover: • How Roosevelt’s training popularized Jiu-Jitsu in early 1900s America • Why his support nearly created a U.S. black belt generation a century early • The role of xenophobia in driving Yamashita out of the country • How women like Fude Yamashita and Misawa Soga shaped early Jiu-Jitsu • Why the art was more inclusive in 1905 than it often is today • What the media got right (and wrong) about Jiu-Jitsu at the time • The forgotten roots of Jiu-Jitsu as a progressive political tool • What Roosevelt’s vision can teach today’s Jiu-Jitsu leaders • How exclusion and short-term thinking still threaten the sport’s future • The myth of “keeping politics out” of martial arts ⸻ 📖 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Jiu-Jitsu History 02:47 The Role of Media in Jiu-Jitsu's Evolution 06:06 The Impact of Theodore Roosevelt on Jiu-Jitsu 08:51 The Confusion Between Judo and Jiu-Jitsu 11:50 The Arrival of Judo in America 15:04 Yamashita's Influence and the Military Connection 17:59 The Political Landscape and Jiu-Jitsu's Growth 20:54 The Consequences of Racism and Nativism 23:55 The Hypothetical Impact of a Strong Jiu-Jitsu Presence 26:43 Politics and Jiu-Jitsu's Historical Context 30:58 The Politics of Jiu Jitsu 34:15 Challenging Gender Norms in Jiu Jitsu 36:34 Historical Contributions of Women in Jiu Jitsu 46:16 The Evolution of Jiu Jitsu Training 58:27 Lessons from History for the Future of Jiu Jitsu

In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan of BJJ Mental Models and Jeff Shaw of Bellingham BJJ examine the sweeping consequences of Trump’s newly passed “Big Beautiful Bill,” and how it threatens the future of Jiu-Jitsu in America. This legislation is poised to eliminate healthcare for millions, deepen economic inequality, and significantly expand the power of ICE—all while cutting vital programs that support working-class families. For the Jiu-Jitsu community, the downstream effects will be substantial: rising medical costs, gym closures, reduced access to training, and increased barriers to international movement and competition. This conversation explores how the bill will reshape the landscape of martial arts and what practitioners, gym owners, and supporters can do in response. ⸻ 👥 Featuring: Steve Kwan @BJJMentalModels Jeff Shaw @BellinghamBJJ ⸻ 🧠 Topics We Cover: • Why rising healthcare costs endanger Jiu-Jitsu practitioners • The economic pressures forcing students to leave the mats • How this bill isolates American Jiu-Jitsu from the global community • The collapse of public services and what it means for gym owners • The dramatic expansion of ICE and its impact on international athletes • How political instability is already affecting travel and tourism • The risk of long-term damage to Jiu-Jitsu infrastructure • What community leaders can do to prepare and respond ⸻ 📖 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction: The Bill and Its Implications 04:10 Understanding the Scope of the Legislation 08:30 Healthcare Losses and Medical Debt in Jiu-Jitsu 12:55 Wealth Transfers and the Erosion of Social Support 18:20 Disposable Income and the Future of Gym Memberships 23:47 Impacts on Jiu-Jitsu Schools and Their Students 28:15 ICE Funding and Deportation Risks 33:05 Border Restrictions and Athlete Movement 38:10 The Broader Economic Downturn 41:00 Comparing U.S. and Canadian Healthcare Access 45:50 First-Hand Experiences with Medical Systems 48:30 Civil Liberties, Surveillance, and Detention Centers 52:15 “Alligator Alcatraz” and Escalating Immigration Policy 57:00 Practical Advice for the Jiu-Jitsu Community 01:03:00 Final Thoughts on Civic Responsibility and Solidarity

Mini Ep. 61: Systematic Abandonment

In this week's mini-episode we discuss the concept of **systematic abandonment,** a mental model co-opted from business strategists like Peter Drucker and Michael Porter. Systematic abandonment teaches us to periodically review and discard habits that are no longer useful, because deciding what *not* to do is often just as (if not more) important than deciding what to do.
