We also delve into the critical importance of nutrition and mental health in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu, offering insights on how a well-balanced diet and a sound mind can positively impact an athlete's performance on the mats. We share tips for maintaining good mental health in the face of the pressures of competition and training, and we discuss the role that proper nutrition plays in recovery and performance.



One of the most contentious topics we tackle in this episode is the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) in BJJ as the IBJJF Worlds Championship begins today on June 1st. We weigh the pros and cons, discussing the ethical implications, the potential advantages, and the potential health risks.
