It takes Champions to make champions. But is that actually true? What it takes to win is not what it takes to teach. Being a BJJ Champion requires incredible levels of focus, discipline and self determination. Being a great coach requires great communication skills, setting a good example and empathy to relate to someone else's struggles. JT & Joey examine examples of great coaches who were not champions and phenomenal athletes who have proven to suck at coaching. Your relationship with your coach is one of the most important factors in the BJJ Journey and their past experience can really help or hinder your development.

Travis Stevens joins the show and shares his frustrations with Judo in the US and what he feels the sport needs to continue to grow. He also talks about overcoming the fear of losing a how BJJ players should approach learning Judo effectively.

Covid is Airborne, So What Can We Do About It? No, the answer is NOT lockdowns. In this interview University of Toronto epidemiologist Dr Colin Furness, PhD, goes into detail about Covid transmission, the debilitating (and mostly denied) effects of Long Covid, and simple mitigation measures that don't require billions of dollars. Specific topics include… - The evidence for Covid being airborne - How common is Long Covid, what are the three types of Long Covid, which organ systems are affected, whether vaccination helps, and whether mild cases initial respiratory Covid can lead to severe long covid - Other viruses with long term effects that don't become evident for decades - The real reason that first responders should be vaccinated - Why we're seeing so many new variants - What is wastewater testing, and why is it one of the most useful leading indicators for strain on the healthcare system - What governments have done to take Covid off of everyone's mind. - Why the only lockdown that made sense was the first one, and why every lockdown since then has been the result of a failure to act earlier with less severe measures. - Why you should put away the hand sanitiser and the plexiglass. - A simple 3 step approach to keeping public spaces safe (ventilation, filtration, and CO2 detectors) - When is masking appropriate? - How the removal of masks on planes led to many thousands of cancelled flights and a synchronisation of Covid waves across the entire USA. - How vaccination keeps other people safe - Arguments for and against mandatory vaccination for first responders, and strategies that don't involve mandates - The death of expertise and moving forward in a post-truth world - Monkeypox - should we take it seriously? - How we might successfully deal with the next big plague Dr Furness works in the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at University of Toronto.

This week the guys take a break from the playful banter and storytelling to cover the horrible events that happened in Texas. In a completely candid and heartfelt conversation and open discussion.

Is it possible to improve at Jiu-jitsu without the risk of injury that rolling can bring? If you are older and not interested in going to war with young, MMA hungry savages you can definitely develop BJJ skills but will they work? Finding people who have a similar interest in training is key to your improvement whether they are pushing for championship glory or just want to enjoy learning cool skills. JT & Joey examine this interesting question and give guidance on how you can approach your own BJJ practice to get the best outcome.

On this episode we discuss whether Jiu-Jitsu black belts who are older and struggle with and even lose to lower belts, are still considered a legit black belt. We discuss the aging grappler, and how age impacts mindset and performance on the mats. We also chat about adjusting your mindset, changing your training, and also why and how to humble yourself. We answer the question of what are the qualities of a legit black belt, why hiring coaches to improve aspects of your game/diet are vital, and dealing with the inevitable changes you go through over time.

Over the last decade the grappling industry has seen an influx of athletes forgoing traditional employment to pursue the life of a full-time jiu-jitsu competitor. I can't lie, it's cool gig. You get to spend your days training, travel the world, and get giant novelty checks. But there is more to the BUSINESS of the Jiu-Jitsu game than being underneath the bright lights of PPV events or IG Posts with overused quotes. You need to have and plan to make a living for yourself because the industry is cutthroat. This week, Nico and I give you the cold hard truth of what it's like going "full-time" in BJJ, so that you can make a conscience decision on whether it's right for you. - MUSHMASTER Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bjjgoonspodcast **Tim Spriggs** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timspriggsb...​ **Nico Ball** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/no_new_nico/​ DO YOU WANT EXTRA EPISODES, MATCH BREAKDOWNS, AND TECHNIQUES?

Just a heads up that this episode has almost nothing to do with Jiu-Jitsu, so if you want to skip it, I don't blame you. 🤣 In this bonus episode, philosophy enthusiast and grappling luminary Robert Degle joins us to make an in-depth defense of the Star Wars prequels. Robert makes the case that the Star Wars prequels are better than you remember, and may in fact be legitimately good movies.

Ryan Gruhn joins the show to talk about his diverse MA background which includes full contact competitive stick fighting! Other topics include using BJJ for self defense when weapons are present and why he feels new BJJ students should compete right away!

What do you Bench? This question is not helpful for BJJ athletes and may even be harmful. Even though Barbell Bench Press is a very popular movement in modern day lifting, spending time lying on your back and pushing heavy weight off your chest isn't the best way to strengthen your upper body. If you really want a stronger upper body JT & Joey explore the alternatives to get you there and how you can avoid injury by changing up how you lift.

Priit Mihkelson is a BJJ black belt and owner of Defensive BJJ. In this episode we talk about Priits background in martial arts, how he got into grappling, his different approach to teaching and learning, the importance of defense, and much more.

Get out your shovels because we’re digging up the long dead argument, “Who would win in a fight, grappler vs. striker”. Yes, yes, this argument was settled back in 1993 after UFC 1. BUT, we decided to rehash the argument to settle it using physics, intuition and a healthy call-out.
