    From the Grand Ole Opry to the Jiu-Jitsu Mat | Twinjitsu Episode 17 Feat. Jade Eagleson

    Country artist Jade Eagleson joins Justin and Chris for Episode 17 of Twinjitsu. Jade has performed on some of country music’s biggest stages, won major awards in Canada, and built a career doing what he loves. But when he walks into the Jiu-Jitsu gym, none of that matters — he’s just another white belt trying not to get choked. We talk about Jade’s journey from growing up on a cattle farm in Canada to pursuing country music in Nashville, performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and discovering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Jade opens up about the surprising similarities between stepping onto a stage and stepping onto the competition mat, why losing his first Jiu-Jitsu tournament actually motivated him, and how being surrounded by people better than him — in both Nashville and Jiu-Jitsu — changed the way he thinks about success. We also get into life on the road, staying sober while touring, training Jiu-Jitsu while traveling, learning patience, the realities of running a music career like a business, and sharing Jiu-Jitsu with his son Levi. Plus: Canadian jokes, maple syrup, Gordon Ryan, Shania Twain, George Strait, Zack Top, guitar-playing injuries, starched jeans, and the important question nobody else is asking touring musicians: Who handles the dry cleaning? 🥋 Two heads. One grip.

    We’ve Been Teaching Kids Jiu-Jitsu Wrong | Twinjitsu Ep 16 feat Elle Beckman thearteofcoaching

    Episode 16 of the Twinjitsu Podcast features Elle Beckman of The Arte of Coaching — a Jiu-Jitsu coach, academy owner, former early childhood educator, and one of our favorite voices in the kids Jiu-Jitsu coaching space. Elle joins Justin and Chris from Australia to talk about why she moved away from traditional step-by-step instruction and embraced the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) for teaching Jiu-Jitsu. We get into what CLA actually looks like in a kids class, why play and problem-solving can develop skills better than memorizing techniques, coaching kids for competition, communicating with parents, building a coaching staff, and one of the least-discussed parts of running a Jiu-Jitsu academy: burnout. Elle also gets incredibly honest about losing students, trying to please everyone as an academy owner, and how turning something you love into your job can change your relationship with Jiu-Jitsu. This is one of our favorite conversations we've had on the podcast so far — especially for coaches, academy owners, parents, or anyone interested in how people actually learn Jiu-Jitsu. Follow Elle and The Arte of Coaching on Instagram for more kids coaching resources, CLA games, and coaching education.

    20 Years of Jiu-Jitsu: What Actually Makes You Better | Twinjitsu Ep 15 feat David Pitt

    Twinjitsu Episode 15 features longtime training partner and Jiu-Jitsu brown belt David Pitt. David's Jiu-Jitsu journey started nearly 20 years ago through the Modern Army Combatives Program while stationed in Anchorage, Alaska. What followed wasn't a straight line to brown belt—years away from consistent training, different gyms, military life, returning to the mats, becoming a coach, and eventually sharing Jiu-Jitsu with his daughter. In this episode, we get into what David has learned after two decades around grappling and why the longer you train, the more important the fundamentals become. We talk about: Starting Jiu-Jitsu through Army CombativesTraining every day while stationed in AlaskaReturning to consistent Jiu-Jitsu after years awayWhite belt vs. blue belt vs. purple belt vs. brown beltWhy purple belt might be the most fun beltThe fundamentals people overlookClosed guard, mount, posture, and off-balancingHow teaching Jiu-Jitsu improves your own gameTraining Jiu-Jitsu with your kidsWhy parents shouldn't coach from the sidelinesKeeping a "white belt mindset" as an upper beltWhat separates a brown belt from a black beltLearning Jiu-Jitsu through instructionalsStatic drilling vs. live resistance vs. constraint-led trainingWhy mat time still mattersTraining around injuries and back problemsThe body awareness Jiu-Jitsu developsPlus, Chris officially calls out Olympic wrestling champion Gable Steveson... in the gi, of course. Two brothers. Two black belts. A lot of opinions. Welcome to Twinjitsu. Subscribe for more conversations about Jiu-Jitsu, coaching, competition, and everything that happens on and off the mats.
