This week the GOONS talk to Erick Nicholson. Erick is a educator in New York who runs a BJJ program at his school and is a member of the Secret Roll Club; a group of athletes that started rolling together to escape the strict rules of traditional Jiu-Jitsu schools. What started off as a handful of friends, has blossomed into large events with DJ's , charity food drives, and prize giveaways.

Today I talk with Dr Nicholas Tyau, a BJJ Black Belt and internal medicine specialist who was working in NYC hospitals during Covid Ground Zero in 2020. We discuss the 5 key factors you need to consider after you've been vaccinated but before you decide to return to normal training, including... 1) Local hospital and ICU occupancy rates 2) Test positivity rates in your community 3) Vaccination rates within your community and your training group 4) Your tolerance for taking short term and long term risk 5) Your tolerance for, and the consequences of, potentially making others sick, especially the people you live with. Please check out my previous episode (ep 285) with Dr Tyau here: https://www.grapplearts.com/doctor-covid-ground-zero/ Also episode 302 with epidemiologists Kathrine Wallace and Madeline Lewis: https://www.grapplearts.com/covid-myths-debunked-with-epidemiologists-kathrine-wallace-and-madeline-lewis/ And my series of discussions with Dr Chris Moriarty on guidelines for operating a BJJ school safely during the Covid-19 pandemic: https://www.grapplearts.com/openingupbjj Thank you, and take care of each other, Stephan Kesting

(Explicit Language Warning) In today's show JT and Joey go deep on flexibility and mobility like a Jean Claude Van Damme split! What is the difference between the two very different abilities to move your body? There are also deeper explanations of Static, dynamic and PNF stretching. They break down how you can apply this understanding to your training for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and how this can keep you on the mats for the rest of your life.
