What are you afraid of? Is it spiders, or public speaking, or the fear of failure? The spectrum of fear and phobia is vast and sometime crippling. How do we overcome? This week we dive right into this topic and so so much more. Enjoy the show

Have you felt a bit down at Jiu-jitsu? Feel like you are in a slump? BJJ presents many challenges physical and mental. Life can throw a lot of challenges at you but what do you do when BJJ is getting you down. You are training hard, fighting through injuries, taking beatings and struggling to fit in with team mates. Some days you are gonna suck and it can make you feel dark. How do you handle it mentally is important. JT & Joey discuss how to deal with the mental trial and tribulations that are part of the BJJ journey. Having an approach to deal with bad days is the key to staying in the game and not over thinking, so you can get out of your head and back onto the mat.

Calm down, calm down. We’re not saying that learning self defence is just flat out “dangerous”. However, when taught incorrectly or simply being misled into how “fake” certain situations can be, it’s a slippery slope. Kieren and Adam unpack the topic in light of a recent tragic incident that happened in Australia resulting in the loss of life. And as always, we go beyond the jiujitsu and unpack what we know. #jiujitsu #bjj #brazilianjiujitsu #jiu-jitsu Submit YOUR question to the show to be featured on the next Q&A episode!
