What's up, guys? So recently I did an email, and in the email I was talking about, is jiu-jitsu physical or is it mental, right? And this stemmed from, as you'll hear in the podcast, this stemmed from a conversation that happened with me and a few of my students when we were kind of doing a debriefing after a competition. But I want to sort of pose the question to you right now, while you getting ready to listen to this. Do you think that jiu-jitsu is a physical predominantly or a mental predominantly?

Do you think it's, which one do you think it is? Have that sort of question in your head. And then

when you listen to the podcast, I want to see, you know, it is sort of what you think about it.

You know, and then after we sort of just wrap about the question, dance around with it a little bit, Eugene and I do some Q&A

and all that stuff. So,

hope you guys enjoy the podcast and thank you guys so much for

listening. And again, if you guys are

interested in supporting the podcast,

we do have a Patreon

currently available where we do extra

little rambles and bits with

the different guests that we have on. You guys want to check that out. Just look on the web pages and stuff like that. You'll be able to find it. So, guys, let's get started with the podcast. So here's what we're going to do, guys. We're going to jump in. I'm going to talk about something that happened recently and kind of just a situation. And I want you guys to sort of think about it. And then at the end, we're going to do a little Q&A. And again, thank you guys for joining us on this beautiful day. I know it's pretty chilly around the country. I know right now this morning I got up on my Instagram. I take cold showers. And it's funny because my cold shower gets so cold right now that I can see my breath. I'll take uh I do I clean off with hot I'll do cold for about five minutes and then I'll do hot again and then cold to end and I posted a thing I was like oh a cold shower when it's three degrees outside and then like people are sending me messages like yeah it's like negative 47 with the windshield uh where i'm at so it's it's colder

in some parts where are they at they're in like chicago and up north it's apparently apparently

like a fun fact right now is it in some parts of the the north it's like colder than it is

in antarctica or something so god so let's jump into it so is j jih Tjitsu mental or physical?

That's kind of what we'll talk about today.

Here's where this happened.

So the other day, I was talking with one of my students who he competed while I was in Costa Rica.

And so he competed while I was in Costa Rica.

And when I got back, we were talking about the competition.

And I was asking, I was like, how did everything go? And, you know, he were talking about the competition. And I was asking him.

I was like, how'd everything go?
