About this listen

I’ve made a lot of interesting friends from jits and Urmish is one of them. We talk about the balance between strength and technique, his struggles of being the ‘big guy’ at the gym and insights from his first BJJ competition.


Stuff we talked about:


  • Gi vs. Nogi
  • Playing the game of ‘Jiu-jitsu’
  • Technique > Strength?
  • Being the ‘big’ guy at the gym
  • Asking the right questions
  • Being ‘aggressive’ and playing to your strengths
  • Finding an enemy and having a goal
  • More on our BJJ journey
  • The boys at GATO
  • His first competition
  • Sticking to the plan
  • To compete or not to compete, that is the question.
  • Getting my Blue Belt
  • Refining what you already know
  • Learning how the pieces move
  • Urmish’s tiny (but strong) legs
  • Changing nothing
  • Jiujitsu is indeed ‘not gay’


Oss,

Aaron
