Summary

Chewy and Eugene are joined by BJJ black belt and the 2022 ADCC 88 kg World Champion Giancarlo Bodoni.

Giancarlo joins the show to discusses his preferred rule sets for grappling, starting BJJ primarily as a Gi practitioner and then transitioning to primarily training No-Gi. Giancarlo also talks about starting BJJ at 12 years old, what was unique about BJJ compared to other martial arts, the story of how he started training with John Danaher and Gordon Ryan, how he drastically improved his leg lock game, mentally preparing for big tournaments, his approach to rematching an opponent, the tactics he implemented in ADCC, ideas on training intensity and improving your skill set,  the most beneficial things outside of training that supplement his Jiu-Jitsu, and his favorite submissions and some key tips for making the Rear Naked Choke work, what Giancarlo took away most from his coaches, and his long-term Jiu-Jitsu goals.

In this episode's exclusive conversation, we discuss the benefits of teaching Jiu-Jitsu and how it can positively improve your game. You can check out this podcast exclusive at https://patreon.com/thechewjitsupodcast
