Jiu Jitsu Impossible

Seminars are an integral part of training Jiu Jitsu. After a recent one, we talk about how they fit into a training strategy and why folks love them.

We talk about the same things many times in Jiu Jitsu. But what about those things we don’t talk about but probably should? In this episode, Chad and Professor Clint share the parts of practicing the gentle art that can use more conversation.

Why do people quit training? We talk about why people quit at different levels and ages.

It’s been a minute since the last episode, so our hosts sit down, and talk about how their BJJ has been over the last month. We then get into a conversation about how Professor Clint has seen martial arts evolve over the last 35+ years and how BJJ has been part of that evolution.

Why are we starting Jiu Jitsu Impossible? Because we want to tell the story of BJJ in an unlikely place, but more how it creates an unlikely community that many people need. Welcome to the first episode of Jiu Jitsu Impossible with Professor Clint DuPlechian.
