Trained BJJ with Japanese MMA champions? As a frothy, fresh Blue Belt Joey's first comp was the Asian Championships in Tokyo!

Judo Throws & Sh*ting Blood 5.) Fighting to the death... Respectfully! There was a huge culture shock on training intensity, competition level and the darker side of travelling and competing. There are a lot of great take aways from this discussion, some of them cautionary. Entertainment at its best with epic stories from Joey's Japanese adventure.

Have you heard the phrase "Don't use Strength, use Technique." There is an underlying philosophy in BJJ culture that being strong holds you back from learning Jiu-Jitsu technique, there is a type of strength shaming that goes on. We all know that being more athletic helps us when rolling but the idea that technique trumps strength has been overstated and the boys breakdown why: 1.) The Technique beats Strength Myth 2.) Why don't lightweights win the Absolute? 3.) Strength is the Technique Multiplier 4.) When a Cue becomes Dogma 5.) No Strength = No Options The idea that being strong holds you back in BJJ is not a helpful way to look at the game. Developing strength in parallel with learning BJJ technique is the ultimate way to get better on the mat.

How can you get your family and Friends to relate to your love of BJJ? We all struggle on the mats every week but if you don't roll- you don't get it, IYKYK. The boys received a voice mail from Stephanie Alvarez overcoming the odds to win her last tournament in weight and absolute. She just can't get her closest people to relate. Israel Adesanya, Alex Volkanovski, Logan Paul & Craig Jones all training together what does this mean for the fight game? Are we witnessing the Rise of the Fight Game Entrepreneur and the next business moguls.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene are joined by BJJ legend and coach, Professor Ricardo Liborio. Professor Liborio joins the podcast to discuss his start in Jiu-Jitsu, the training environment at Carlson Gracie's gym, the importance of the Luta Livre and BJJ rivalry and the challenge event that elevated the level of BJJ popularity, why the Carlson Gracie gym was so special, when Professor Liborio started competing, the importance of losing and learning how to deal with loss, how to get good at Jiu-Jitsu, what confidence is, why Jiu-Jitsu is therapy, what Professor Liborio was like as a competitor/training partner, his favorite Jiu-Jitsu performance and accomplishment as a coach, teaching Jiu-Jitsu class at the University of Central Florida, what makes a black belt, and what makes a successful coach.

New promotions, several wins, IG profile pics, and riding the wave of life

Do you train for the love of the game? Or push yourself to win Championships? How you choose to approach your BJJ is a very individual thing. What defines a Hobbyist? Are you only a Competitor if you compete at tournaments or fight to the death in the Gym? It is important to appreciate the difference between the 2 approaches and get clear on the upside and Draw backs of each: 1.) Expectations vs Results 2.) Awkward Rolls & Misunderstandings 3.) Winning vs Learning- What's better? 4.) Being Serious or Being Strategic 5.) Martial Arts vs Sports Performance Whether you are training everyday focused on the next comp or just get your rolls in where you can, there is value in both approaches and ultimately you can benefit by borrowing from the other.

Get smart for a change with the simple men as they welcome John Papaioannou of B Team. Nicky Rod, widely known as the Black Belt Slayer, hail’s from New Jersey, the land of pizza & biceps. He is a two time ADCC silver medalist, an EBI absolute world champion, as well as the world's most beautiful grappler. Ethan Crelinsten, clearly the most intelligent and most good looking of the the three Simple Men, is a two time ADCC trials winner, as well as placing 1st in thousands of other tournaments. His grappling prowess goes far beyond what Nicky rod and Damien hope to acquire. As you listen to the podcast, pay most attention to Ethan as he will most likely be saying the coolest shit. Damien Anderson is an ADCC Trials Bronze Medalist with multiple wins over multiple black belt world champions. Currently ranked 8th in the world at 145lbs and 9th at 155lbs. Also has ownership rights of Ethan Crelinsten Nicky Rod, Damien Anderson & Ethan Crelinsten are based in Austin, Texas and roll daily at B-Team Jiu Jitsu.
