Richie ‘Boogeyman’ Martinez discusses his MMA career, along with how professional shows like EBI and Metamoris changed Jiu-Jitsu.

🌍✨ How High Can You Fly? ✨🌍

From a small rural town in Araricá, Brazil 🇧🇷 to the AZBJJL State Championship in Arizona 🇺🇸, Enzo (12) and Valentina (16) are about to live a dream that once seemed impossible.

They’re the first two kids from our Jiu-Jitsu Tribe social project —founded over a decade ago—to travel internationally! This is more than a competition; it’s a symbol of hope for hundreds of kids training across multiple locations in their community.

They’ll spend a week in Arizona training at local academies, competing, and experiencing unforgettable moments that will fuel their dreams—and inspire others back home to believe that they can fly high too. 🥋💙

Richie Martinez talks about the difficulty he experienced competing as a white belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

Richie Martinez is one of the top first-generation 10th Planet competitors and a professional grappling veteran. Since finishing second in the very first EBI event, Richie has competed for virtually every major promotion all around the world. He is one of the most popular figures in the 10th Planet affiliation, and still competes at the highest level today.

Jits Magazine spoke to Richie about his experience transitioning from breakdancing to Jiu-Jitsu, and his journey through the ranks. He also talked about his experiences with team grappling both in Polaris and Quintet, and the future of 10th Planet as a team. We then spoke about his upcoming match against Xande Ribeiro at Who’s Number One 27.

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” – Brené Brown

Have you reflected on the question I’ve been asking you…
How high can you fly? 🦅

It’s wild how the negative voice in our heads—what I call the dark passenger—often doesn’t even allow us to dream big. The moment you think about stepping into a new challenge, that voice shows up with excuses, doubts, and fear.

You must stand up to that mental bully living in your head and pursue your authenticity—that’s the key word for me.

In my book “Inner Discovery for Outer Success: 10 Rules to Integrate Authenticity and Performance in Jiu-Jitsu and Beyond”, Rule #1 is about discovering your Why.
Why do you want to fly high? What are your intrinsic and extrinsic motivations?

For me, my strongest intrinsic motivation is pursuing my authenticity.
And one of my extrinsic motivations is to inspire you to live an even more authentic life—on and off the mats.

The Diary of a Master – Season 2, Episode 2 is coming soon to The BJJ Mental Coach YouTube channel, sharing my journey to the Pan Championship.

Now it’s your turn:
What’s been calling you? What challenge have you been afraid to say yes to—but deep down you want it?
Ask yourself again…
How high can YOU fly? 🚀
