What up, guys. Welcome today to the podcast to another edition of the Jiu-Sitza podcast. Today, we've got a guy that I met at the origin immersion camp. So went to the origin immersion camp, got invited out there. It was fortunate enough that it worked out because so like last year, I had my jitsu camp going on that week. And so it didn't work out and then this this year i had mine

right before theirs um and then i was able to like take a couple days off and then go up there and

swing it and uh ended up meeting a lot of you guys i met met a ton of people that said they listened

to podcast and everything else and so it was great meeting you guys and while i was there i met

several really cool black belts um one of which was the guy that we have on as a guest today, Alexi. So Lexi, um, you know,

and I looked at him for a second, oh, you're the origin model, right? So he's the guy that models

all the origin geese and stuff like that. And the dude was just a blast to be around. Like he's got tons of which we didn't even, we couldn't even scratch the surface

of all those stories. So we're definitely going to have to have them on again. But he has tons of

great stories from being, you know, down in Brazil and like he was just like, you know, he says he's

like, I wasn't like, I remember like when, you know, the guy winning the world championships in the world that has like the best guys, right, or any of the best gyms, lurking around are all these people that are absolutely fantastic jujitsu practitioners that just don't compete that much or for whatever reason never won that particular competition that whatever, you know, it just happens.

But they've got like so much experience, so much, so many great stories of being in those rooms around

all those people and again he was training with you know guys in the late 80s and the early 90s

when this stuff was just like like breaking ground and again so i i thought it would be a blast

to have him on and it was and so i enjoy talking to him and that that was. So we brought Alexion. So we're going to jump

into it and I hope you guys enjoy it. There's plenty of good stories to share. There was some

audio issues. So you'll hear a little bit of noise sometimes. Just kind of bear with it.

I, for me, like, I mean, I could hear it when we were doing it, but at the same time, the content of the podcast is well worth it. And so it should be a super

enjoyable, super entertaining one. And guys, always, always, thanks to our sponsor,

Charlotte's Web for helping make the podcast happen. Again, if you've never used CBD, I encourage

you to try it out. It's one of the supplements that I put into my regular routine all the time.

I prefer to use it at nighttime as part of my sort of sleep routine. And again, I've noticed a lot of benefits to it as far as my recovery goes to training. And again, just even sometimes like the overall sense of well-being, I guess, is what technically you can say because there's a lot of

things that you can and can't say about it because it's not FDA regulated. But again,
