About this listen
Sometimes the hardest part of Jiu-Jitsu isn’t walking in for the first time, it’s coming back for the second.
This episode of The Mat Return is a story about what happens when one parent takes that step.
Normally, this is the kind of thing we’d schedule an interview for, but I owed our listeners an episode, and the nice thing about being the tech guy is that I can schedule myself anytime I need to.
It’s about fear, patience, family, and what Jiu-Jitsu quietly builds when you keep showing up.
Inside this episode:
00:00 Intro — No interview, just a story
00:38 The first class and the long driveway
05:10 The Sunday ritual and the “gi burn”
07:00 Why slow learners thrive here
09:00 The white gi rule and first camp
10:30 Austria family camp & the quiet prediction
13:20 My wife’s month-six shift
15:00 How Jiu-Jitsu unlocked languages
17:40 When life punched, I stayed standing
18:30 Teaching, parenting, and the next generation
If you’ve ever started because of your kids, come back after a break, or found new confidence through Jiu-Jitsu, this one’s for you.
Filmed at White Mountain Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Hosted by Tony (and usually Frank)
