Tyson Larone is a BJJ belt, a Muay Thai teacher, TEDx speaker, and a strongman competitor. In this episode he and I dive deep into exploring how BJJ can be used for self defense, including how context changes everything in self defense… adaptations that women and smaller people need to make… the problems with the one time self defense seminar model… the need for force-multipliers and whether guns can act as that force multiplier… the single biggest thing any man can do to keep the women in his life safe and more. We also perceptions and expressions of masculinity, conservative-appearing privilege, and much more. As always, Tyson brings receipts for everything he says. IMPORTANT: This podcast was recorded in early December 2024 but only released in early January 2025. Therefore some of the dates referenced are incorrect.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss some ideas on how to eliminate distractions in 2025 and achieve your goals in the new year. We discuss the idea of "Executers vs. Collectors," why you should "live like a dog," the idea of "Alibi-itis," minimizing distractions, why what you say "no" to is just as important as what you say "yes" to, adding and removing barriers, using your attention to promote growth, and what you can do daily to achieve your goals.

In this week's mini-episode we explain **tokui waza,** a concept from Judo and traditional martial arts. Translating roughly to "favorited technique" or "special skill," tokui waza refers to the tendency of martial artists to develop and leverage a few techniques they're especially good at. Tokui waza is important to understand because it helps us break the misconception that the best in the world are good at everything. Much like the pro wrestlers, they develop "finishing moves," or tokui waza.

The standard BJJ approach of throwing newcomers to the wolves may work for young and talented athletes, but it's definitely not optimal for most older, non-athletic, or female grapplers (otherwise known as the vast majority of people). In today's episode I'm joined by Jesse Walker from Rough Hands BJJ in Louisville, Kentucky, to discuss the training methods and school culture that'll make jiu-jitsu accessible to (almost) everyone. Check out Rough Hands BJJ training center in Louisville, Kentucky at https://roughhandsbjj.com/ and/or get in touch with Jesse on most social media platforms at @roughhandsbjj.
