Description

Training in martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, wrestling, & Muay Thai is my outlet for improving my mental health and becoming a better person. Shop our apparel line made for the Jiu-Jitsu athlete at https://jiujitsuoutlet.com/ On this 73rd episode of the podcast, I chat with "The Silver Fox" Karel Pravec. Karel is a 4th degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under the legendary Renzo Gracie. He now teaches BJJ out of his academy in New Jersey - Silver Fox Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. On this episode, Karel and I chat about how training in the martial arts helped his mental health and how he has seen it affect his students. We dive in by discussing about why doing difficult things helps turn the volume down on other aspects of your life. Karel shares the lessons he learned from training with legends like Renzo Gracie and John Danaher and what he learned from them that he applied to his own teaching. Throughout the episode, Karel mentions the importance of having fun with your Jiu-Jitsu training. Although we must take our training seriously (especially if training for a big tournament), we should always maintain a joyful attitude and not take ourselves too seriously. On this episode, Karel shares some real wisdom learned from a lifetime in the martial arts. I think you'll really enjoy this episode.
