Episode 347: Have you ever bulged a disc in your neck?! A friend of the podcast asks about rolling with a cervical disk replacement- is it possible? Is it advisable. JT references a very famous grappler who had to have one of their discs replaced and still compete only weeks after the surgery, who was it? Have you tried training 2 sessions per day? If you have limited days to train is it more beneficial than spacing out your training over the week or should you cram 2 x per day for 3 days? There are some pros and cons for both but which should you choose? Is jumping into comp after a long hiatus a good idea? 8 weeks of intense training with the end goal of getting after it and making the podium. Also it helps you get in shape for your wedding- right? Is this a good idea? Go hard on a competition training camp just before your wedding day, could be a recipe for disaster...

This podcast episode covers all the details and preparations for a long solo trip in the Arctic that I'm starting today! After 30 hours of driving and a 2 hour bush plane flight to Nueltin Lake I'll be heading north of the treeline direct into the Barren Lands of the Arctic. Once there, I'll be completely alone and out of touch for 30 days. The only written description of the river is a few pages in a book written by a missionary in the late 1800's. The trip spans the Thlewiaza, The-Tinne, Kognak and Tha-Anne rivers and will probably include caribou and bear encounters, whitewater and giant ice-covered lakes, and insanely complex navigational challenges. Once the trip is underway, I'll be sharing a few photos from the field a small satellite device So if you're interested in adventure and how well jiu-jitsu works against giant Hudson Bay Polar Bears then follow along! The best place to stay current is probably on Instagram ([https://www.instagram.com/essentialwilderness/](https://www.instagram.com/essentialwilderness/)), although this page on Essential Wilderness (https://tinyurl.com/nunavutsolo) should have a map that updates with my location once I'm on the water I believe that pictures from this trip will also get cross-posted on Threads (https://www.threads.net/@stephan_kesting) Tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/@essentialwilderness), and Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@essentialwilderness/community) I'll be back to the world and jiu-jitsu in late July. Hopefully! Cheers, Stephan P.S. I'm telling my publisher that this is my official book tour, so if you haven't yet pre-ordered Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic (the story of another trip I did up there) then please help me out!

This week the guys go catch up on recent events and then talk about creativity. How does it come into play in BJJ? How does creativity affect us in life? All that and so so much more.

Episode 346: Do you struggle to focus at BJJ Class? Do you zone out when you are at the gym? Small details can make a big difference in both lifting and rolling. Knowing when to tune in and really focus is important. In our distracted age of so much stimulus it is hard to have enough energy to lock in and pay attention. Being too comfortable, or leaving yourself too tired to dial in when your coach is explaining can leave you missing the point of the technique or drill. When it comes to the Gym it might be as simple as staring at your phone or getting distracted in a conversation may lead you not paying attention to how your body feels proprioceptively- which can lead to injury. Attention is a limited resource and sometimes you have more than others but knowing when to really focus will help you have a better session and get more out of your training whether you are in the weights room or on the mats rolling. Some times you are simply just trying to get your training in between business and family time but taking a beat to realise there are key moments when you need to Focus that are higher leverage than others, can help you make the most of your most important resource- your attention.

O Jiu-Jitsu é muito mais do que apenas uma arte marcial; pode ser uma jornada transformadora para quem nunca se sentiu conectado com outras atividades físicas antes. Para iniciar não é necessário estar em forma ou ter experiência prévia. Na verdade, muitos praticantes iniciam suas jornadas sem nenhuma aptidão física específica, encontrando no Jiu-Jitsu não apenas uma atividade física, mas um caminho para melhorar gradualmente seu condicionamento e bem-estar geral. Agende a sua aula experimental e veja como o jiu jitsu pode transformar a sua vida!

Rolles Gracie joins the show to talk about creating an environment that helps students learn faster, upper belts mentoring lower belts and his thoughts on the practice of testing for belts. He also gives advice for white belts.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the importance of building a strong defensive side control to create a better offensive Jiu-Jitsu game. We discuss how initially we focus on bottom side control defense as newer grapplers, but eventually stop focusing on this part of our game. We also discuss why having poor defense can make your offense less effective, how a solid defense will improve your submission rate in competition, why confidence in your escapes works like a safety net, why grapplers panic in bottom side control, the first step in getting better at side control escapes, why Chewy decided to start focusing on his bottom side control escapes as a BJJ brown belt, the biggest and most common mistakes in relation to escapes and defense, and the importance of mastering a handful of techniques.

Episode 345: Have you ever torn your meniscus? Been told you must have surgery? Joey injured his knee while training BJJ- turns out it was a torn meniscus. He got an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan, saw his physiotherapist and while the scan didn't reveal much new info he was advised to talk to a Knee surgeon. Joey was under the impression that Surgery was unavoidable- Can a torn Meniscus heal itself?? This discussion unpacks many of the expectations, misconceptions and new approaches to medical treatment for Jiu-Jitsu folks suffering from meniscus injuries. If you have had any surprising treatments that helped you overcome a knee injury let us know in the comments.

Episode 343: Are you struggling to remember what was taught in class this week? When coaches teach a different technique and concept every week, it can be hard to keep up and retain the information. BJJ as a body of knowledge is constantly growing and evolving with specialised techniques and strategies for both Gi and No-Gi grappling. JT & Joey dig deeper on what can help and hinder your learning at Jiu-Jitsu and why spending multiple sessions on one position or a sequence of attacks and defences can really help you achieve a good understanding and real learning. Everybody learns differently but giving people more opportunity and greater exposure to skills is key, this might require a different approach to the way coaches are teaching week to week. Joey explains his recent experience having wins with his students learning back control and JT talks about how being competitive and not making mistakes can actually mess up your learning. When you struggle to remember what's being taught in class its hard to build your game and make progress, this is where you could benefit from choosing your own personal BJJ project and working on it consistently.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the impact the Craig Jones Invitational (CJI) will have on the state of grappling and the upcoming ADCC world championships. We discuss our thoughts on Craig's motives and strategy when promoting the CJI, the importance of using high quality production to attract spectators, the increased attention that Craig Jones and the CJI has brought to grappling, why the timing of the CJI is bad for the athletes, the pros and cons of splitting the elite grapplers between the two tournaments, the CJI ruleset, the Gabi Garcia vs Craig Jones superfight, and the results of Chewy's Instagram poll of whether people would attend the CJI, ADCC, or neither.

Episode 342: Do you travel and train BJJ at different gyms? An interesting question came through about an International BJJ Gym exchange- could 2 unaffiliated teams host seminars for each gyms champions. Also could the gyms build something of an alliance to enhance both of the BJJ cultures on different sides of the map. JT & Joey examine all the considerations and walk through what it might take to create a cultural exchange. Who is "The Dark Prince" ? An international man of mystery who is also an OG of the Bulletproof program - but how did he get this Bad-Ass name and who is the man behind behind the alias. If you are competing as a masters athlete and you have no one to compete against you have 2 options- Go up a weight class or join the younger folks in Adult at the same weight. The boys discuss the pro's & con's of both options and what you can do when you get stuck in a similar situation at your next grappling tournament.
