    #94 - Ellee Beckman - Teach Your Kids Jiu Jitsu with this Fun, Evidence-Based Approach

    What if kids learned jiu-jitsu the way kids actually learn best? We sat down with Ellee, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach and experienced early-years teacher, to map a practical path from chaotic energy to confident, skilled movement. Her approach centres on play-based, constraint-led games that quietly encode core concepts—pass the legs, hold them down, take the back—long before children can memorise steps. • using games to teach core concepts • class length, ratios and safety rules • age bands and intelligent pairing • storytelling that maps to skills • submissions taught with control first • boundaries for school and home • scaling constraints for mixed ability • helping teens manage ego and loss • blending CLA with concise coaching • parent communication and retention “Find 10 fairy-tale games and weekly coaching support at The Art of Coaching — link in Ellee’s Instagram stand store” Guest Stuff: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thearteofcoaching/ Support the show GET OUR FREE EMAILS - https://pjfitnesscoaching.aweb.page/GrapplersPerspective Co-Hosts: Paul Johnson (Glasses) and Danny Allen (Beard) Insta - https://www.instagram.com/bodyforbjj and https://www.instagram.com/rollingstrongbjj Audio & Video Edited, and Produced by Paul Johnson Looking to find, organise or manage seminars?

    #93 - Mark Macqueen - Grapplers Who Think Strength Doesn’t Matter Aren’t Living in the Real World

    We talk through a world champion’s pivot from powerlifting to jiu-jitsu, why coaching culture at Kingsway changed everything, and how smarter stand-up, pinning, and true strength finally showed up on competition day. We share a clear plan for lifting, cardio, and plyos that keeps you improving without burning out. • ADCC Trials win, what improved, and why confidence clicked • Kingsway and ROKA coaching structure, daily feedback, and partner quality • Austin move, visas, lifestyle trade-offs, and training rhythm • Powerlifting career highlights, identity, and the emptiness after winning • Strength’s real role in grappling performance and longevity • Practical S&C: two-day lift split, one cardio, simple patterns • Rep ranges, sets, plyos, and keeping compliance over years • UK training roots, cross-training, and competition plans Support the show GET OUR FREE EMAILS - https://pjfitnesscoaching.aweb.page/GrapplersPerspective Co-Hosts: Paul Johnson (Glasses) and Danny Allen (Beard) Insta - https://www.instagram.com/bodyforbjj and https://www.instagram.com/rollingstrongbjj Audio & Video Edited, and Produced by Paul Johnson Looking to find, organise or manage seminars?

    #92 - Paul & Danny - What Vegas Taught Us About BJJ Formats, Brazilian Taps and Resort Fees

    We return from Vegas with strong views on CJI formats, a fair take on the Taylor vs Bodoni controversy, and a blueprint for training that actually sticks. Between The Sphere, VR ledges, and resort fees, we also map why rotating events could grow jiu-jitsu faster and fairer.
