Do you Listen to the 'Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast'? Adam Childs gave Joey his Black Belt and was the OG Bulletproof athlete. He is the only Australian Blackbelt under Fabio Gurgel, living and training full time for 5 years in Sao Paulo. JT & Adam first met fighting to be the best "Aussie" at the Alliance gym- after many wars they became great friends. Adam has some crazy stories of living in Brazil, competing and working for Alliance Jiu-Jitsu. He now is the head coach of Vantage Jiu-Jitsu in Sydney Australia and hosts the very successful Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast. His experience coaching, learning from the best in the BJJ business and getting brutalised by them has shaped him and his style of teaching.

Do you train BJJ when you are exhausted? Does your coach push you to fatigue in warm up so you roll tired? Even though there is something to be said for being able to push yourself to keep going when you are almost completely gassed out, practicing sloppy reps because you want to be fitter is only going to make your BJJ Skills worse. JT & Joey dissect this topic and look at it from a few different angles. "Training Tired is training Stupid" If you are early in the Jiu-Jitsu journey you need to put a premium on what helps you learn - physical fatigue won't help. Mental toughness is a key part of rolling and improving at BJJ but trying to practice skills can make your game dumb but tough. If you are someone who likes to go hard on and off the mat this is a good episode for you. Stay Hydrated with Sodii the tastiest electrolytes in the Game!

Do you drill techniques? Does your coach make you drill in class? On today's show we are joined by Adam Childs from the " Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast" and head coach of Vantage Jiu-Jitsu. This is a broad discussion of the benefits and limitations of isolated skill practice. Recently the popular discussion has been around 'Anti-Drilling' and the 'Ecological Approach' to learning BJJ. When looking more closely at other high skill disciplines- Dancing, Music, Gymnastics & Cooking. In order to be good at any of them there is a disciplined and systemised approach which requires immense attention to detail. Once the rules and principles have been learned then breaking away and being more experimental could help progress your learning but is this how we should all learn? This is a wide ranging discussion and Adam brings a great insight as a coach and how to help beginners improve with drilling.

Robert is the first person to go from white to black belt under HeadnodHQ. In this episode, Josh and Robert talk about Robert’s BJJ Journey, What it's like to train at Headnod, and even the worst beatings they've ever taken. They also dive into a very funny story of getting kicked out of a restaurant for being brown.

Chewy answers a question from a listener who travels to different gyms, but never approaches black belts to roll. If they are offered a roll with an upper belt such as a black belt or a coach, they can occasionally submit them. The listener asks whether they should train honestly and beat the upper belt when visiting another gym, or not submit the coach in front of their gym. Chewy discusses whether submitting a coach is exposing the legitimacy of their gym, how Chewy rolls when visiting a gym, and some advice when visiting gyms.

Do you meditate? Do you ever feel in the flow when rolling? Sitting still and meditating is a world away from the intensity of choking someone on the mats. But they can get you to a similar place mentally. BJJ is a form of enforced mindfulness because when you are being smothered under mount all you can think about is getting out of there- no bills, no job, no family, just you and what you need to do in the moment. The post roll relief and clarity that comes from a great Jiu-Jitsu session clears your mind in a similar way to meditation. When you are deep in a full on roll have you ever felt in Flow- automatic action without conscious thought. (Not a Flow roll...) This topic sound a little Woo Woo but JT & Joey unpack the differences and similarities with some interesting and hilarious insights that can change the way you look at meditation.

We discuss the importance of having the ability to say "no," managing your inputs, being strategic and tactical with your goals, making your goals visible, how to utilize the "2 minute drill," why the spark of motivation is your action, how to make your goals into a daily rhythm, dealing with overwhelm of achieving a goal, limiting your focus on outcome and putting more focus on the process, and the importance of making a routine.

She's also a mental performance consultant with a Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology, which is relevant to our topic of conversation today. In this episode, Erin talks about mental toughness. She explains how mental toughness is an attribute you can train, how many people define it incorrectly, and what to expect when you work with a mental performance consultant. She also explains the limitations of mental performance coaching and the ethical importance of staying within your area of competency.

Matt brings up so many good points about how teaching jiu jitsu can free people from the things that they hate. Matt and Josh also discuss their hatred for sous vide cooking, the struggles of school ownership, doing Pro wrestling in high school, and whether or not the moon landing was faked.
