Kurt is back! This time we discuss the absurd side of Jiu-Jitsu. Quirky students, delusional martial artists, dirty techniques people use and random crazy people invading the gym. Kurt also explains his pet peeves as a teacher.

Chewy and Eugene discuss how clinging to the idea of only using "Old Man Jiu-Jitsu" as an older grappler can actually hinder your BJJ game. We chat about how our desire for simple answers to complex problems can impact progress, why you should avoid being restrictive with your Jiu-Jitsu, the importance of learning to adjust your guard passing based on your opponent's guard, Chewy's preferred way to pass a leg locker's guard, choosing your "mat battles" wisely, how adjusting training intensity has improved Chewy's longevity in Jiu-Jitsu, Chewy's simple rule for diet that helped his joints feel better, using your down time wisely, the BJJ belt with the largest skill discrepancy, and if you're you ever too old to start Jiu-Jitsu.

Igor who was promoted to brown belt after winning his division at the recent IBJJF tournament in LA. Wednesday 7/19/23

Putting in the work. Because skills only gets better with training. Specially with partners that help you improve your skills.

My hip replacement surgery is 3 weeks from today. The last several months my training has mainly been on top. No guard due to hip issues. It's going to be some time to get my bottom game stable. Grateful to have good friends to train with. Thank you Leonardo Vieira for all your help and time. Rodolfo Pinto who's been there for me when Leo is busy. Robynho, Marcelo Capociama, Marcelo Marassa 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Tuesday 7/18/23 morning rolls with my friend Rodolfo Pinto. He's always careful specially with my limitations. 3 weeks before my hip replacement surgery.

In this episode Craig Jones finally gets simplified, hope you enjoy! Nicky Rod, widely known as the Black Belt Slayer, hail’s from New Jersey, the land of pizza & biceps. He is a two time ADCC silver medalist, an EBI absolute world champion, as well as the world's most beautiful grappler. Ethan Crelinsten, clearly the most intelligent and most good looking of the the three Simple Men, is a two time ADCC trials winner, as well as placing 1st in thousands of other tournaments. His grappling prowess goes far beyond what Nicky rod and Damien hope to acquire. As you listen to the podcast, pay most attention to Ethan as he will most likely be saying the coolest shit. Damien Anderson is an ADCC Trials Bronze Medalist with multiple wins over multiple black belt world champions. Currently ranked 8th in the world at 145lbs and 9th at 155lbs. Also has ownership rights of Ethan Crelinsten Nicky Rod, Damien Anderson & Ethan Crelinsten are based in Austin, Texas and roll daily at B-Team Jiu Jitsu.
