What's up guys? So today on the podcast, we have Stuart Cooper. If you are not familiar with him, he has some of the best Jiu-Jitsu videos on the internet. He does some amazing highlight videos. He does some amazing documentary-style videos with his own unique footage that he takes. And, you know, when we were talking to him, it was a fun conversation. And one of the things that I would look for in this is listen to him the way that he responded to certain adversities in his life. So, you know, it's very cliche to say these days where, you know, everybody just posts a meme of it, right? Like where it's like, hey, you know, the negative creates a positive or something to that effect where, you know, the negative things that you experience the injuries the failures the scripts all that stuff creates the future

positives right you got to go into the valley to come up on the mountain you know people

say these things but then it's cool to hear someone talk about living it right I

mean to me that's what's always most important people can say whatever they want to

but to hear people's experience of actually living it and going through that I think is always so powerful and insightful and so during this

podcast along with just the great conversations and the interesting journey that he's he's had so

far really pay attention to that because I think it's really it's incredible and it's very useful

for just anyone that's in a spot maybe that's not the easiest road and listen to that's super cool so with that said let's and it's very useful for just anyone that's in a spot. Maybe that's not the easiest road.

And listen to that, it's super cool.

So with that said, let's get started out with the podcast.

Well, the next video I've got releasing, I'm actually just waiting for flow grappling

to get back to me to hopefully give you permission to use some footage is the Craig Jones documentary. Cool. Yeah. So I finished it a while ago, but they're taking a while to get back to me. Yeah, we just had a Lachlan Giles on the podcast, which was awesome. He's a nice guy. Yeah. I actually, I trained of him very recently. Yeah. What did you think? Hell, man,, uh, yeah, he's, I mean, I'm probably got like 10 kilograms in the guy. And man, he's good. He's good everywhere, you know? Good passing. Amazing God. Good leg locks. You know. What do you weigh primarily? Yeah, about 90, 91.

I go up and down, like sometimes 88.

My highest is about 96.

That's when I'm eating a lot.

96?

Yeah.

That was actually, that was a couple, it was about three or four months ago, I got up to

96, but then I was lifting too much so I stopped. I kind of went back down again. Do you feel like good being heavier weight at all? Does that feel good to you? Yeah, I prefer it. Yeah, I tried. Actually, I went as low as 70. 70, wow. Oh, that was a big shift. That's a big shift because in 96, you're almost like, it's about what I weigh. And then you're like dropping up 70. That's a light guy. Well, actually, that was, that's quite a long story itself. That's when I was doing all this traveling, making these films, travel in America. I just wasn't eating properly. Right. my weight my weight this like dangerously low, actually. Okay. Yeah, I wouldn't ever do that again. Yeah. Well, you know, you look like you're a pretty muscular guy. So if you're working out and stuff like that, it's a, you have to be, you know, on point with your eating, because if you're not eating properly, it just doesn't stay with you you you know like you said you'll just start to drop weight pretty quickly yeah so yeah it

was very hard to stay up at 96 you're going to be eating all the time so around 88 90s is good

for me you know I feel fast and strong at that weight yeah where are you originally from

Manchester well where am I from it's a small low-tack and strong at that weight. Yeah, where are you originally from?
