Paul Kindzia describes himself as a "homeschooled, non-denominational, it takes a village black belt" and had a very unique route to getting his BJJ black belt. He was a ronin, training at different schools and did a lot of his training in his home dojo. This paid off because he was a top IBJJF Masters competitor at blue, purple, and brown belt, before being awarded his black belt by a coalition of other black belts (myself included) in October of 2024. In this episode we talk about so many things, including - How to get really good if you don't train at a top-tier school - Key aspects of training safely - How to say no to training with people who don't have your best interests at heart - What you need to do to calibrate your skills if you mainly train one-on-one - Cult-like dynamics at some BJJ schools - What professional BJJ competitors do that sets them apart - How to get promoted if you train independently - How jiu-jitsu training has changed in the last 10 years - And so much more. For more about Paul's jiu-jitsu journey check out his site, The Balanced Grappler (https://www.thebalancedgrappler.com/) and his book, Master Jiu-Jitsu, Master Life (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Jiu-Jitsu-Life-Extraordinary-Through/dp/069216197X) Please give this episode a thumbs up and share it with someone else you think might enjoy it.

In this week's mini-episode we explain the concept of **surface area,** or how much of your body is connected to your opponent when you apply force. You can create more pressure by applying maximal force through the smallest surface area. A classic example is the "shoulder of justice" side control crossface pin. We also discuss other benefits to minimizing surface area, and other types of pressure beyond the physics definition.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene answer a question from Collin who asks, "How do you recognize and fix gym culture without enforcers, and also what do you do if one of the enforcers becomes a gym bully"? We discuss how and when a "gym enforcer" should be used, one of the most corrosive things that can happen in the gym, "Absolute Cancerous Behaviors" and "Relative Cancerous Behaviors," some of the cancerous situations that Chewy had to address at the gym, something that would lead to immediate removal from the gym, reasons Chewy wouldn't promote a student, "pulling rank" at a gym, and our opinions on gauntlets.
