2 Weeks ago a big call was made by JT " The Oracle" Tenacity. He put together an argument based on many seemingly unconnected clues scattered across the internet.
He claims to know who is the next power player in the world of Competition Grappling. Some one who is about to shake up the whole industry combat sports- potentially for the better. From the high life of Abu Dhabi to the back streets of Mexico then back to the rice fields of Bali a change is in the air! If you are reading this the prediction has already come true, who is the new King of Grappling...?

Do you have a special warm up you do before Competing? Do you psyche yourself up or need to calm your nerves? JT & Joey discuss the importance of mobility checks, why elevating body temperature is crucial, and which specific exercises set the stage for victory. This conversation is not just theory; it's a practical guide complete with personal anecdotes and proven strategies that will help both newcomers and veteran grapplers alike. Having your body ready to roll at 100% intensity is a fine balance between not being quite ready because you are holding back and over cooking yourself getting too hyped. Having a well practiced ritual which gets you both physically and mentally in the sweet spot is key to mastering competition performance.

Ever been side-lined by a BJJ Knee injury?  Joey pulls back the curtain on finding the right healthcare guru for your injury and the unexpected journey of rehab—one that's filled with as much laughter as there is pain. Navigating Australia's healthcare system sometimes feels like a sport in itself, and not the fun kind. The second half of the conversation goes into the complexities surrounding MRI scans, Medicare, and the sometimes laughable experiences at bulk billing clinics. Whether you're a seasoned veteran in the game of medical imaging or just learning the ropes, these anecdotes offer a play-by-play that's equal parts informative and entertaining. 

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.

Is it time to stop doing BJJ or is it time to pick up the pace? When you fall out of the habit of doing anything, studying, playing sport, creating art or practicing BJJ you start caring less. The intent you bring to your practice of BJJ starts to fall away if you are not placing a serious importance on what it means to you, without the regularity it's much easier to let it slip. If you spend more time around people who don't care about BJJ this attitude will rub off on you, the power of social osmosis does really affect the way we view the world. If you are questioning your dedication to the art, ask yourself are you in the Habit of practicing BJJ? If you aren't consistently training at least 3 x per week you are no longer in the habit which may put you on a downward spiral... and ultimately may result in your life taking a different path- which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
