This week we're joined by Dr. Jooyoung Lee! Jooyoung is a BJJ black belt, a Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, and an accredited expert in the sociological study of violence. In this episode, Jooyoung discusses the science behind "pulling the trigger" when grappling, how to be more aggressive in the moment, and how to avoid becoming flustered in the face of your opponent's aggression.

Episode 333: Do you get your car serviced regularly? Do you get a yearly check up at the Doctor? Funnily enough we BJJ Folks never do this when it comes to our physical function for rolling. Many of us do not want to know just how bad our injuries and accumulated damage is so we just ignore it until it's so bad we can't function. But what if it didn't have to come to this? JT & Joey are working a check up, a physical assessment that can let you know where you are at and then what to do about it. You may not be aware but for every year of BJJ you do there is a slow accumulation of wear and tear but this can be countered with a good routine of maintenance. When was the last time you had a physical check up? This is your call to action to take better care of yourself so you can enjoy training Jiu-jitsu for the long term.

Episode 332: Have you got Injury One-itis? Got that first big BJJ injury that you are struggling to deal with. When major injury strikes, it can really take over your life- but what can we do to get over this? A major part of getting through the process of rehabbing an Injury is not Catastrophising the situation: making it seem worse then it actually is. JT & Joey examine where you need to start, you must find out the nature of your injury and exactly how bad is it? Next step is having a rehab plan to get you back on the mats. This is a great opportunity to learn some new coping methods and develop some systems to deal with injury so the next time it does occur its a much easier process and you bounce back faster!

"This video spotlights just a few of our senior members’ journeys through our boxing program. As coach- and senior myself, my personal prescription to promoting health through the aging process is the vigilant attention on 3 vital domains: Social, Intellectual, and Physical. It’s no doubt a challenging goal to check all 3 boxes, as natural barriers through aging increasingly arise- but in our class, my aim is always to create boxing training that can be modified at virtually any individuals’ level and pace- provide high level skills/techniques that will stimulate, challenge and exercise the mind- and create an environment that is positive, supportive, and conducive to building social connections. Our life destinations culminate much from pathways we create through our choices. We can passively wait and let life happen to us- or actively pursue and shape our time ahead. Big thanks and huge respect to our 4 participating seniors, Joe Licata, Steve Krisko, Michele Krisko, and Mark Robinson." -Coach Herman Begin Your Journey: www.bcma.info

Malachy Friedman returns to discuss some of the common misinterpretations regarding what effective training is. He also explains how some of his injuries actually made him better on the mats. He also talks in depth about the student/teacher relationship

Rule 4 - Seven Days a Week Seven days a week. You will work on a better version of yourself seven days a week, even if that means you only train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu once a week. In order to change our community and to raise strong children and better the future we take the lessons of Jiu Jitsu into our own lives, seven days a week.

This week we're joined by Beatrice Jin! Beatrice is a coach at Kogaion Academy in Virginia, an outstanding brown belt professional competitor, and the operator of America's longest-running women's open mat.

Have you ever been Disqualified at a Jiu-jitsu comp? JT & Joey recount the messy and funny tales of competitors like John Combs and Bill "The Grill" Cooper, whose quests for glory took unexpected turns, and talk about what it means to be combat-ready and how even the prepared can be caught off guard. The boys break down the biological brawl that leads to lactic acid overload. We navigate the surprising and sometimes downright hilarious world of Jiu-Jitsu DQs - because sometimes, the real fight is against your own body's quirky reactions.

Episode 329: Have you ever had a Private Lesson with your coach? Are they the secret sauce to boosting your skills, or just another checkbox for moving up the ranks? JT & Joey discuss the potential growth that comes from one-on-one sessions but also the ethical questions that arise when gyms link them to belt progression. With countless online platforms has this form of training lost some of it's appeal as more people learn BJJ on their laptop and phone. From it's original roots in early Brazil exclusively focused on 1 to 1 learning to the evolution of large franchise schools, we'll journey through personal tales and the strategic nuances that private training can bring—think stock trading, but with more arm bars and less risk of financial ruin.

Episode 327: Do you get Anxious about rolling and competing? Do find yourself constantly criticising yourself with negative self talk? This is actually not helping you just do the thing- get better at BJJ. Managing your self talk and your psychological approach to the pressures of BJJ is key to your long term success. Both JT & Joey have had their own battles with managing their minds and have had very different journeys taking different approaches to getting their heads straight. There is a definite time to expect high standards, analyse and critique what you are doing... but do not keep breaking things down and criticising when it is time to perform. Knowing when to think and when to just go is a skill that needs to be practiced and understood. If you are not learning different ways to keep a handle on your mind in a BJJ context then you are missing out. Everyone is different whether you are a hype beast or Zen champion you need a routine to be able learn and perform at your full potential. You gotta cut out the negative self talk and know how to get yourself right.

Episode 326: Have you ever hurt your ankle? Popped some ligaments but never did anything to fix it? BJJ folks are famous for not tapping to ankle locks which results in damage and ultimately some issues in life off the mats! JT and Joey explain how having a "dodgy" ankle can really mess up many other parts of your athletic ability - squatting, jumping and running. They then go deep on the exact steps you need to follow in order to rehab your stiff ankles and gradually build back strength and stability so you can confidence to grapple on your feet. There are surprise topics in this episode including the type of shoes you wear, how often are you bare foot and why Flip Flops are making your squat weaker.

Eli Knight returns to talk about overcoming frustrations in training. We all get stuck sometimes, Eli sheds some light on how to push through! He also talks about the fine line academy owners walk when giving life advice or guidance outside of Jiu-Jitsu
