Mike McCastle set a new world record on Jan 23, 2021, immersing himself in ice for 2 hours and 40 minutes and surviving! He joined me on Episode 323 of The Strenuous Life Podcast to talk about this absolutely insane challenge including

  • The physical preparation and mental strength required to it off, - The limits of the human body, - Tummo (inner fire) breathing and visualisation, - How 'normal' people can use his principles to challenge themselves, - How his father's struggle with Parkinson's motivates him to persist in his 12 Labors project, - And much more! I'm SURE you're going to love this episode!

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
