Welcome to episode 150 of the BJJ Mental Coach Podcast! Today, I’m joined by Nick Haider, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and the founder of Guardian Project Los Angeles.

Nick’s journey in martial arts began at just 7 years old after being a victim of bullying, which ignited his passion for self-defense. What started as a way to protect himself evolved into a lifelong commitment to helping others through Jiu-Jitsu. Now, as the founder of Guardian Project LA, Nick is giving back to his community by providing underprivileged youth with the same opportunities he once received. Through Jiu-Jitsu, he’s teaching life lessons, building confidence, and shaping the future of the next generation.

Joining me today as co-host is Calder Powers, who was featured on episode 136. Calder is the executive director of the Guardian Project, a non-profit offering free Jiu-Jitsu training to underprivileged youth worldwide.

I know it’s been a while since I last released an episode, as I’ve been focused on the Master Worlds. However, I’ve been busy creating content for Instagram @gustavodantasbjj and on my YouTube channel, The BJJ Mental Coach.

Enjoy the episode!

#tbt 2008 @cbjj Campeonato Brasileiro M1/Leve🥇 com meu brother @rodrigo_cf_feijao 🫡 Qual foi a posição que você mais usou na sua jornada de competição no Jiu-Jitsu?

Sem dúvida, essa é a minha. Infelizmente para o meu adversário, ele foi pego de surpresa, batendo a cabeça e acabou apagando. 🤕 #vitoriaporko

Por incrível que pareça, no absoluto, raspei um atleta super-pesado com a mesma posição. Ele foi de cabeça, e eu caí montado, com ele batendo porque tinha machucado o pescoço. Os dois saíram com colar cervical.🫣

Essa posição tem vários nomes, e meus alunos da @gdjiujitsuacademy no Arizona a chamam de “G Sweep” – como se fosse a “Raspagem do Gustavo”.

Claro que eu não criei a posição, mas sempre gostei de raspar por cima. Quando comecei a treinar na academia do mestre @dede_pederneiras André Pederneiras, tive cinco aulas particulares com o @renatoverissimobjj “Charuto”, que se encaixaram muito bem no meu jogo, incluindo essa raspagem. O Charuto teve um papel importante na minha evolução, especialmente quando eu era faixa roxa. Na mesma época, eu também assistia muito ao @roleta.bjj executando essa posição com perfeição. Não posso esquecer do meu brother @marcelinobjj que faz essa posição extremamente bem.

Qual é a mensagem aqui? Acredite nas suas posições mais fortes! Aquela em que você pensa: “Se eu chegar aqui, meus oponentes vão ter problemas.”

No entanto, não podemos depender de apenas um movimento ou situação. Sempre esteja disposto a sair da sua zona de conforto quando o jogo não estiver fluindo.

Lembre-se, o objetivo é ser sua versão mais autêntica, tanto no tatame de competição quanto na academia, então, no próximo campeonato, SOLTA O JOGO! 🚀🧨

🧐 Do you have a Chiropractor on your team?

If you practice Jiu-Jitsu, and especially if you compete, over time you start building a support team. Besides your grappling coaches, many people add professionals like a strength and conditioning coach, physical therapist, nutritionist, mental coach, massage therapist—and yes, chiropractors.

It took me a while to feel comfortable with chiropractic care, and the key word is trust. Benefits of chiropractic care include faster recovery from injuries, better joint mobility, and overall pain relief—essential for staying consistent in training.

I’m happy I found Dr. Eric Bruere from @azspinediscandsport , located in Chandler (Ray Rd & Rural Rd) inside @oydsports . He’s been a crucial addition to my team, helping me deal with injuries and keeping me on the mats.

“Trust your team. Let others do their work so you can concentrate wholly on your own.” — Gene King 💪

🌍 Did you know that all around the world, there are jiu-jitsu students who dream of owning a gi?

Many of them train without one, hoping one day they’ll have their own. Some make do with old kimonos, others with just a jacket, and some have none at all. This is where @brausfight @brausfoundation BRAUS and Jiu-Jitsu Tribe @institutojiujitsutribe step in! 🙌

🥋 Every time you buy one of our special Kimonos (released twice a year), a jiu-jitsu student from a social project gets a brand new gi. How incredible is that? In 2023, we were able to donate 160 custom-made kimonos thanks to your support!

Unfortunately, our latest pre-sale didn’t meet expectations, and now we’re working hard to send 50 Custom Made Kimonos:

➡️ 25 for the new Instituto Jiu-Jitsu Tribe affiliate JJT Ararica @jiujitsuararica in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

➡️ 25 for Projeto Social Batuk @projeto_social_batuk in Imperatriz, Maranhão

We need your help! Our goal is to raise $3000. If we can surpass that, we’ll send even more kimonos to kids in need. Every dollar helps to make a difference! 💪

🎥 Want to see the impact? Watch our memorable trip to the Amigos de Ouro project in Rio Bonito, Rio de Janeiro, where we delivered custom-made kimonos. The heartwarming moments are captured in a full video on @jiujitsutribe YouTube.

If you want to support the cause and help us reach our goal, donate today. Let’s change lives, one gi at a time. 🙏

Welcome to another instalment of Cole Porter’s series on his lapel guard series

In this video, Cole, a 1st-degree black belt, shares a great alternative for when your opponent is shutting down your choke attempts – the gubber guard. This technique comes into play when your opponent is effectively defending the choke and preventing you from getting under their neck. Instead of getting stuck, Cole shows how to transition to gubber guard, a powerful control that clamps the shoulder and opens up new submission opportunities.

What does success mean to you?🤔

Have you heard @coachwooden John Wooden’s quote on success? “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.” 💡

Losing in the finals of the 2024 @ibjjf Master Worlds has been a true blessing 🙏. With #thebjjmentalcoach message, you often hear about being your best self on and off the mats 🥋. But sometimes, in Jiu-Jitsu and life, your best effort isn’t enough to win—and this silver medal proves that 🥈.

This was my third Master Worlds. I won in 2012 🥇 and took second in 2014 🥈, but in 2014, I wasn’t my authentic self. I played not to lose, and it cost me. I left without peace 😕.

Now, ten years later, I’m at peace 🧘🏽‍♂️, even after taking second place again. Why? In 2014, I played not to lose; in 2024, I played to win 🔥. I pushed hard, but I gassed out 😓. If you’ve ever gassed in a tournament, you know the feeling.

I could have played it safe after the sweep, but I was still annoyed by playing safe in my third match😤. I wouldn’t have found peace if I did that again.

Ram deserved the win 100% 👏. He stayed calm, tied the match by almost taking my back, and won by one advantage with 30 seconds left ⏱️. He made it happen, and I didn’t.

Do you think I succeeded at the 2024 Master Worlds? Some may say “no,” but I say “Absolutely” ✅. My goal was to be my authentic self on the mat 💯, and I did that—even if it wasn’t enough to win.

Don’t chase medals 🏅. Chase authenticity, and the medals will come as a byproduct of your pursuit. 🌟

🏆 Você já competiu em mais de uma categoria? Se sim, você sentiu diferença na sua velocidade? ⚡

Na minha carreira, eu sempre competi nas categorias pena e leve, as únicas que entrei até hoje, além do absoluto. Pessoalmente, sinto uma grande diferença de velocidade entre elas.

👀 Veja esse exemplo da mesma posição. O vídeo à direita é da final do @ibjjf New Jersey International Open, em 15 de junho de 2024, pesando 74kg/163lbs, e o da esquerda é do @ibjjf Mundial Master, em 30 de agosto, pesando 67,5kg/149lbs.

Dois pontos-chave dessa diferença notável na velocidade de reação da mesma situação:
1 – Trabalho de redução de peso profissional com @institutoanabolize, de 79kg/175lbs para 74kg/163lbs e, em seguida, para 67,5kg/149lbs.
2 – Trabalho de preparação física com @itallovillardo e sua periodização. Foram 10 semanas de trabalho entre os dois campeonatos mencionados.

No final das contas, você tem que decidir qual é a melhor categoria para você. Se for a mais baixa, prepare-se mentalmente, porque dieta não é fácil. 😅

Você se incomoda de lutar sem corner? Eu sempre menciono para meus alunos que, em algum momento na sua jornada, você vai acabar competindo sozinho. Talvez você tenha viajado sozinho ou seus parceiros estejam lutando ao mesmo tempo, e o coach não pode estar em todos os lugares.

Ter um coach ao lado é ótimo, mas é essencial saber lutar sozinho também, porque o coach não faz milagres. No final das contas, é você quem precisa executar o seu jogo, não o coach.

“Continua indo para o lado direito Gustavo”

A importância de escutar o seu coach no momento certo é inegável. Quanto mais conectados estão, menos palavras são necessárias. Tem um motivo pelo qual Rodrigo Feijão @rodrigo_cf_feijao é um dos melhores coaches do mundo. Ele fala quando é necessário. Mesmo sem me ver treinando, ele sabe que me sinto confortável por cima ou por baixo e tem uma leitura de luta incrível.

Confie na sua preparação, no seu jogo e no seu corner, quando disponível.
