Professor Salvo joins me to talk about jiu jitsu for community, and welcoming new students. Travelling around the UK, and all over the World to teach, or train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is something that grows our game, both in the art and in life.

Progressing skills in Jiu Jitsu, is done by training more jiu jitsu is very wise advice shared by Salvo in this episode, and whilst we can find ways to enhance our own health, training jiu jitsu is the only thing that is going to make us better. Salvo talks about clean submissions, and the priority of keeping training partners safe, especially within the children's classes. As always, his mindset of training hard, having fun and staying playful will enable us to train longer.

• Seminars
• Playing Jiu Jitsu
• Competition Classes
• Gracie Barra
• Physical and Mental Health
• Positional sparring
• Keeping safe
• Clean submissions

James Gwinnett is now a Blue Belt, who needed a new challenge when he started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Having spent years doing Ultra Marathons, it was seeing and hearing Tom Hardy competing, and describing how life changing BJJ was in dealing with addiction. James was inspired to begin his journey of sobriety back in 2016, after 3 years of heavy addiction and depression due to injury, and began long distance running.

As a new parent, James now balances his family life with regularly training jiu jitsu. He shares moments of the challenging three years of alcohol addiction, and depression after a serious rugby injury. James is the author of #READYSETLIFE. We discuss the mental fitness that takes place when we train jiu jitsu, the value of keeping showing up on the mats and making consistent improvements.
