    Dirty Fighting: Interviewing Martin Gonzalez On His Upcoming Course

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Budo Brothers Podcast, we sit down with Tuhon Martin Gonzalez to talk about his martial arts journey, real-world self-defense, and the ideas behind his new course, Dirty Fighting. We get into the difference between training in a controlled environment and dealing with violence when there are no agreed-upon rules. Martin shares some of the lessons he’s picked up through decades of martial arts training and real-world experience, what has translated for him, and why awareness, positioning, body mechanics, and simple tactics can make such a big difference. We also talk about how Dirty Fighting came together, what you can expect inside the course, and why we wanted to film parts of it on location to give a more realistic look at the situations being discussed. If you want to learn more and train with Tuhon Martin Gonzalez, Dirty Fighting is available here: https://budobrothers.tv/programs/collection-wixr34tfmkw Enjoy the episode. — Budo Brothers

    Underneath The Kimono: Episode 001

    Send us Fan Mail Whoa… it’s been a while. But we’re back. The Budo Brothers Podcast has been reinvented and rebranded as Underneath the Kimono. This time around, we’re stripping things down, taking ourselves a little less seriously, and giving you more of a behind-the-scenes look at what’s actually going on in our world—what we’re building, what we’re thinking about, what’s challenging us, and what’s inspiring us. This is a place for us to connect and catch up. We’ll talk entrepreneurship, martial arts, creativity, innovation, new ideas, the ups and downs of building Budo Brothers, and, of course, plenty of jiu-jitsu. We don’t know exactly what the cadence of the podcast will be yet—and that’s kind of the point. We want to keep it loose, genuine, and fun. In this first episode back, we catch you up on what we’ve been doing over the last couple of years, where Budo Brothers is headed, some of the new products we’re working on, and the concept of Sutemi—full commitment with no turning back. If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what we’re doing, check out our book Joy-Jitsu: The Art of Living a Joyful Life. We wrote Joy-Jitsu with our good friend David Badurina as a practical guide to applying many of the lessons we’ve learned through martial arts to everyday life. It’s about perseverance, gratitude, authenticity, purpose, overcoming adversity, and maintaining a white belt mentality—staying open to learning, growth, and evolution no matter where you are in life.

    The Power Of Jiu-Jitsu: With Special Guest Ryron Gracie

    Send us Fan Mail We had the absolute pleasure to talk about martial arts, mindset and lifestyle with Ryron Gracie. We hope you enjoy! Ryron Gracie, the eldest grandson of Grand Master Helio Gracie, grew up in a family deeply rooted in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Under the guidance of his father, Rorion Gracie, and his uncles, Ryron witnessed the effectiveness of the art firsthand. In 2003, Ryron and his brother Rener received black belts from their grandfather, recognizing their mastery of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques and teaching methods. Taking on the role of head instructors at Gracie University, Ryron and Rener revitalized the training programs and expanded the reach of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu through online education, seminars, and a network of Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers. Their efforts have met the growing demand for instruction worldwide, preserving the art's effectiveness and simplicity. Gracie University , offering online access to courses, has attracted over 100,000 students from 196 countries. Ryron and Rener continue to promote Gracie Jiu-Jitsu through various media platforms, partnerships, and their own dedication to the art and lifestyle. Embracing a philosophy of constant improvement, both on and off the mat, Ryron and Rener welcome feedback from students who have explored the Gracie University curriculum.

    Wabi Sabi

    Send us Fan Mail We recently came across the philosophy Wabi Sabi. Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity. It embraces the natural cycle of growth, decay, and aging, appreciating the unique characteristics and flaws that make an object or a moment in time truly special. Wabi-Sabi values the authenticity of materials, the simplicity of design, and the appreciation of the fleeting and transient nature of life. It encourages us to find joy in the subtle, the modest, and the humble, reminding us to slow down, be present, and cherish the beauty that exists in the world around us.

    Creating Value

    Send us Fan Mail In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, starting a business or embarking on a new venture requires more than just a great idea or a solid product. To truly succeed and make a meaningful impact, it is essential to start with service and focus on providing value for people. This customer-centric approach emphasizes understanding individuals' needs, desires, and challenges, and tailoring offerings to meet those needs effectively. By adopting a mindset that prioritizes serving others over personal gains, businesses can build trust, loyalty, and satisfaction among their target audience. Thorough research, active listening, and empathizing with customers' pain points allow for the development of solutions that address their specific challenges, desires, and goals. This philosophy of starting with service cultivates a loyal customer base, positive word-of-mouth, and a reputation for excellence, positioning businesses for sustainable growth and meaningful impact in the long run.
