What up, guys. Welcome to the Chichitsu podcast episode. I don't even know what it is. It's like it's 1 o'clock in the morning here in Las Vegas time, which means it's 4 a.m. to my Kentucky brain and body. I'm half like keeping my eyes open here. But again, we just got done watching the CGI 2, day two. The event's over. So we wanted to go over and do a episode with you guys. It's got to just go over both days, talk about what happened, the good, the bad, the ugly, the controversies, the different things that we saw and maybe some things that could possibly be improved. So thank you guys so much for being here today. Big thanks for our sponsor for helping make the podcast happen, athletic. A-T-H-L-E-T-H-C, as the name implies it is a THC meant to sort of like microdosed. I've seen it called like the daily microdose where you take it. You're not going to be buzz out of your brain and be slobbering around and whatever else. It's just to help get you into a particular state that could be

useful for certain activities. So for instance, they have one mint called flow. And the whole

idea about flow is it's formulated to help you get into a more flow state. Sometimes I'll take

it during rolling sessions where, especially if I'm playing with something new and I just want to

like play. I don't really want to win the role, so to speak. I don't want to try to get any, I just want to like play I don't really want to win the role so to speak I don't want to try to get any I just want to like see where it goes it's I find it helpful it helps me get into a more relaxed state I don't feel any groginess from it like years ago I took uh you know I ate some special brownies and I felt incredibly groggy the next day and I remember when I was taking the athletic mince. I was like, I don't want to, I'm really apprehensive about taking stuff because I don't want, I don't want it to mess up my flow. Right. Of, you know, it didn't. Very easy to take and again, no groginess or nothing. If you guys want to check out any of their products, because they have several different mint formulations, all of them have a very low dose of THC, and they have other cannabinoids along with them.

good customer service they take care of you if you need something if something goes wrong they've

got everything from t-shirts and rash guards and shorts and i mean, everything and anything jih T-Gitza-related, they make it. You know, they're one of the manufacturers that PGF uses, the professional grappling uses to help make their stuff for some of the teams. I don't know if they still are, but they were last season. But again, if you guys want to check them out and just browse to their website, see if you find anything you like, go to their website at EpicrollBJJ.com, E-P-I-C-R-O-L-L-B-J-J-J-G. And when you get there, checkout code is Chiu-Jitsu 20 for 20% off the order. Also, thanks to our sponsor, Charlotte's Web. They are one of the OGs in the CBD space,

the cannabinoid space. And again, they have a really well-tested, well-produced product. Again, CBD is one of those weird things where it's an unregulated market, right? So the FDA doesn't have it locked down like they do a lot of other things. And so they've done studies before where the CBD market is all over the

place where, you know, you think you're getting this, but you're really getting this, or you think you're getting X amount, but really you're not getting them, but you're getting less than that. And so they're one of the good guys in the CBD space where they're making a lot of good products. Everything's third party tested so you can ensure the quality of it is there. And then also, you know what you're putting in your body.

On top of that, they have a lot of other different products, things like CBN products,

which are great for trying to help you get more sleep. And again, as we get older, that's kind of an

important thing. It's one of our main tools for recovery is, you know, that. Everybody wants to

pop TRT and everything else. That's perfectly fine, of course. Do what you want to do. But getting your sleep habits in the check is really useful. And CBN products can be really helpful to that. They also make some functional mushroom products as well, balms and rubs, anything and everything, just tons of stuff. Take a look at their website, charlesweb.com. The promo code is Chiu-Jitsu 30 for 30% off the order at checkout. Also, if you guys want to

support the podcast directly, you can check us out at Patreon. Patreon.com slash the jujitsu podcast. When you go to the website, you can look at what we have to offer. There's a bunch of perks.

And again, the e-book can give you some different strategies. There's also a video in case you don't want to read if you just want to listen to me, tell you. There's an e-book and a video that goes with it, but it'll give you over 12 different strategies on how to improve with focus. It's one of the most important things. And if you're an older grappler, you have limited time. And I just say this because I know our demographics. We got older people. If you're an older grappler, you have limited time training. And so you can't screw around with like, I'm just going to show up and hey, I'm here. That's fine early on. But again, as soon as you start to actually have a little bit of skill under your belt, you want to start giving it some focus and start directing it. And you don't have to be a black belt to do that. I show how to do it both from white and to black belt and everything in between. So check it out at jiujitsu.net slash join, J-O-I-N, to get the daily and get the e-book that I give away in the video what up guys so it is late it's 12 o'clock Las Vegas time I think it's mountain time which is about

three o'clock in my hometown so I'm fairly tired but we just got done watching the

event the CGI 2 it's over and wanted to sort of wrap up we you know been

watching it for the last two days taking notes things things like that, and wanted to jump into it.

We'll get into the obvious sort of, you know, the elephant in the room and talk about the finish.
