In 2015 I had to have a kidney transplant, receiving one of my brother’s kidneys in a living donor transplant. It saved my life. This is the story of that transplant (eternal thanks to https://www.instagram.com/christophkesting/), the recovery process, and getting back to normal.
IMPORTANT: Watch to the end of the video and I’ll give you one of my BJJ instructionals for free just for signing your organ donor card!!!
Don’t you love it when people bribe you to do the right thing?

Here’s footage of me competing in a Judo tournament as a BJJ blue belt against a 300 lb opponent back in 2000 when morote gari (the double leg takedown and touching the legs) was still legal. He denied tapping to the armbar (the result of a juji gatame roll) but I think it was pretty clear that he was caught, and fortunately the referee agreed.

How to use open guards like the de la Riva Guard and X Guard and not stomp your partner in the junk. And how to rename offensive sweeps that refer to stomping your partner in the junk. From a Q&A Rob Biernacki and I did for The No Gi de la Riva Formula, which you can find out more about at https://www.grapplearts.com/dlr
Switching to no gi grappling can be difficult. Here are 5 steps that will make it easier… 1) Accept that No Gi is an inherently faster style of grappling and be prepared to push the pace harder at times, 2) Change your grips so that they aren’t gi dependent, 3) Get rid of your gi dependent guards and start developing guards that work in no gi, 4) Learn how to take the back, maintain the back and submit from the back because it’s the best position in no gi grappling, 5) Develop your leglock and guillotine choke submissions because those are much more prevalent in no gi than in gi.
If you would like some more help developing your gi and no gi games then here are a couple of FREE resources for you…

Today on The Strenuous Life Podcast (https://www.grapplearts.com/podcasts) I talk with Kathy Hubble who is a professional Stuntwoman and multiple time Canadian National Judo Champion. She shares how she got started in stunts, how she got injured on set in a Jacky Chan action movie, and how Judo helped her stuntwork. We also delved into the differences in between Judo and BJJ energies, transitioning from throws directly into submissions, and the funny dynamic of battling people on the mat but then being best friends afterwards. This was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it!

Stephan Kesting from The Strenuous Life Podcast talks with with Jamie Flynn. Jamie is an ex British Special Forces operator who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was also the World Base Jumping Champion and continues to pilot wingsuits off of high objects whenever he gets the chance despite having come back from an absolutely horrifying parachuting accident. He has also protected ships from pirates in the Gulf of Aden, works as a professional bodyguard in LA, and practices BJJ.
This is a fascinating deep dive into what makes an adrenaline junkie tick, the specific steps he takes to reduce risk, and how he prepares physically and mentally for his adventures.
