The Part Time Grappler PodcastBJJ Private lessons? Ask These Questions First!One of the best things that separates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from just about every other sport on the planet is that its top instructors and competitors are (often) accessible to the general public.

Before you schedule your first private session with me, or any other jiujitsu teacher, I recommend you ask yourself and them some of the questions discussed here.As always, you can:...

The Part Time Grappler PodcastHow many times will you spar before reaching the black belt?Being a numbers guy, I thought I'd investigate the general parameters of the following question: "How many Jiujitsu sparring rounds has the average black belt participated in?"As you can imagine, the variables are many but, as with many of these questions, not as many as you'd think. Human beings are far more predictable than we give ourselves credit. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast.

The Part Time Grappler PodcastWhy I do these podcastsWhy do I do these podcasts? Simply put, because I want to get even better at communicating my ideas and thoughts. As a teacher, it's kinda important. The other reason is because putting my thoughts out there for all to see (hear) scares me a little (a lot) and I don't like (I hate) being scared of...well, anything!

2017-09-0516 minThe Part Time Grappler PodcastPart Time Grappler Podcast Episode 1: How it all started, and how many times can I say "podcast"?Well after years of hesitation, I decided to start a podcast. In this episode I introduce the podcast then spend a few minutes sharing how I came into the world of grappling and jiujitsu (literally by mistake!). It's a short one and while I imagine future podcasts will be somewhat longer, I can't see them stretching any further than 15-20 minutes, unless they include an interview or a discussion.As I mention in the outro, I'm new to this and all feedback and/or topic suggestions are welcome.
