Josh Vogel started martial arts back in 1999, starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2003 realised it was something he wanted to do as a career, after moving on from skateboarding and Ninja movies.

Having been mugged and beaten up in his teenage years, learning Jiu Jitsu seemed like a good move, and being a creative, and realising that he wasn't going to be the best at what he was doing, wasn't going to turn out as a profession but Jiu Jitsu was.

Josh was inspired by the potential of practice, magic and visualisation of one day achieving his Black Belt, and no real limit to what he could achieve for his life. He shares the surprise of his achievement in this art, with his wife Ange, to-date, owning a Jiu Jitsu school, and much more.

The concept of 'filling buckets' for each position you may find yourself in, in Jiu Jitsu is really important, certainly for those of us at lower ranks of BJJ. Josh helps us to understand how to deal with the differences in training partners, when coaching kids, or even learning Jiu Jitsu ourselves.
