Hey, Power at the Nation.

I want you to belt up for an amazing podcast that I'm doing with my good friend, mentor, and my coach, Shunji Habero, so from Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu. So as you guys know,

a couple years ago, um, I got introduced to Shanji and we became friends. And now I was,

uh, invited into the Six Blades family to not only work with Victor Hugo and, uh, Philippe

Costa to help them do some of their strength conditioning, which we developed the Dragon Slayer program for them.

But helping them really kind of mature into that and then also my own jiu-jitsu journey.

So on this podcast, we get into discussing not only where Shanzi is from, how his jiu-jitsu developed,

his influences, his training partners, and what has made him one of the best in the

to ever do it, to ever really ever do Jiu-Jitsu.

So it was an amazing conversation.

So I want you guys to strap in, hit us with any questions that you have.

But more importantly, just sit back and enjoy an amazing podcast.

Thanks.

Next week, March 6th, FBI, the return of the boys.

I think for them, like I was telling them, like, it's almost like, uh,

he meant to be, you know, like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the third time they fight each other now. And I think for those boys, they've been doing so many things together. You know, it's amazing for them to be in that environment together. You know what I mean? And that's one thing that I kind of like put on their plate a little bit on their shoulders, like, hey, guys, it's the moment for you both. You know, you both can be in one of the probably like the greatest grappling events that's happening right now, you know, being the UFC, I think them both. I think Vitor being put up, you know, bump up for the for the main event, you know, without putting a responsibility on their shoulder, but putting it, it's just like, hey, just think about how much you guys have known each other for so many years from like crazy times, no money, now fight in front of the whole world, you know, and I think they're excited about it as like brothers, you know what I mean? And it's beautiful to see that. Well, what's interesting about those two is they don't have brothers. Yeah. You know, Philippe grew up with sisters. Victor grew up an only child. You grew up with a brother. I grew up with two older brothers. And there's a certain bond that you have with your brother, as you, I'm sure you do, as you know, that regardless of how much you dislike them or you're against them, there's always a feeling of this is my brother brother. And as my mom used to say, she said, the only gift that God's going to give you is your brothers. Definitely. You know, and that like you have to lean on them and they'll always be your brothers. And regardless of what happens in life, like as long as you keep sight of that, you'll be fine. Yeah. And I think people let money and business and women and all these things come between their brothers. But, you know, at the end of the day, you have to remember those are still the guys. Yeah, definitely know. If they, if you were putting this life together, it's for, it's for learning. And I mean, like every, every, I think everyone that walks in our life is to teach us something, you know, imaginely, you know, I had a really tough brother and I own a lot for him to the way

that he tough my skin up a lot, not a little bit, you know, but for those guys, it's just incredible.

You know, I'm really happy to that in the midst of like, you know, CGI, ADCC all the last
