0:00.0	What up, guys. Welcome to the podcast today. Today's episode is going to be featuring a guest by the name of Jason Kalipa.
0:08.1	If you're familiar with CrossFit and Fitness, you probably know that name. He was the 2008 CrossFit Games winner back way back in the day before most people knew about it.
0:17.3	And then he was pretty much within the top 10 to 20 for like essentially
0:22.8	his whole career. And then he had a really good run in like the 2000 teams. I think it was 2013,
0:28.1	14, where he took second and third. So he was right in the heat of it. And he also does Jitzy. He's been doing Jiu Jitsu. I think it's like six or seven years now. He's a purple belt in jihitsu. And, you know, I ended up chatting with him recently a few months back. He
0:42.1	watched one of the videos. And I was a fan of his from CrossFit. And I saw that he, you know,
0:47.7	sent me a message. She was like, oh, hey, cool, man. You know, so I started with him a little bit. And then when we were looking for guests, I just thought that
0:54.2	would be a, like if his stuff popped up, like that would be a fun guest to chat with
0:57.7	because of his experiences and his level of fitness and everything else and getting into
1:02.3	jiu-jitsu. And so in the episode, he gives some really cool advice as far as both training. Keep in

1:13.3	But he's getting older and coming from a super high level athletic background.
1:18.3	Again, getting into jih Tutsu.
1:20.2	It's interesting to hear how he adjusts his training.
1:22.5	And he gets some tips on how to do that as well.
1:25.8	So if you're interested in that sort of stuff, you can do that.
1:28.1	And again, hopefully you guys enjoy this podcast and get something from it, some idea to chew on.
1:32.9	I've got several.
1:33.9	Actually, a lot of times if you watch the podcast, a lot of times I'm writing stuff down.
1:38.2	Sometimes I'm writing stuff down to ask them questions.
1:40.5	And other times, I'm like, that's a good idea. You know, there's several good ideas for me, like takeaways both on and off the mat
1:45.9	that you could take away from this podcast.
