What's up, guys? So today on the podcast, we were talking to the Raspberry Ape, who, unfortunately, we didn't get to actually ask him about his nickname because you can tell this guy, like, he has his own podcast, and you can tell because we would get on a subject and we would just go off on tangents, which, again, if you guys watch the videos or listen to the podcast enough, you know that's something that I, uh, Eugene and tend to do. Um, but it was a really cool podcast. He talks a lot about some things like grip strength. Again, that's incredibly important. You know, you guys have listened to me say this before, but grips are everything. So your ability to be strong with your grips, your ability to control the grips, g know gie, whatever it is, super important. So he gives a lot of really good tips on strength training and all that stuff. He also dealt with a situation where he literally broke his back, spine, broke his back, and he kept training. Instead of quitting, instead of saying, I can't do this anymore, he strengthened his body up and there's some really cool details that he gives on that. I'm not going to give it more away so again with with all that said guys enjoy this podcast with Daniel Strauss and also again if you guys enjoy the podcast check out the patreon patreon.com slash the Jitsu podcast we put extra little bits from the podcast that don't make it on we put some videos on there there's a cool down routine there's all kinds of different stuff on there so you can check it out. It's not very expensive and you get some good stuff for that. And then also if you guys are interested in recovering a little bit faster, check out charlotsweb.com. You can put in Shiu-Titoo 10 with your checkout order when you get some CBD oil. CBD oils are something I use a lot and something that, you know, I tend to push on people if they're asking for something for recovery. And Charlotte's Web is the one I use. I use the chocolate mint. So again, with all that said, guys, let's jump into the podcast. We all these people that like podcasts and they know what they're doing. Well, I think everybody's kind of doing it a little bit, right? So you kind of podcast. Absolutely. So why not? Yeah. Yours has been, what, since 16, 2016? You started yours? Yeah, you've done your research. That sounds about right. I've been Facebook or Google, whatever. He's done his research. I've done none. The only thing that I know and I like it was like he does strong man training which I friggin love and I was like you know and I was like he does like odd object stuff I was like love that stuff and then you do jihitsu so I'm like you know. Absolutely pair with him together right? Right. You know what you forgot. He's got some pretty nice get ups that he wears. He wears like these like overalls or like these really, uh, it's all about the denim. Yeah. Yes. In every, in every different, you know, version of it. And it's very short denim. It's very revealing. You got the leg. Well, we, you got like, you know, the one thing is what if a jih Tzu guys, a lot of them don't have legs. They don't lift legs. Yeah. So, like, you've got legs. So, like, when you're out there, like, you know, the one thing is what if a jih Tjitsu guys, a lot of them don't have legs. They don't lift legs.

Yeah.

So, like, you've got legs.

So, like, when you're out there, like, I know this sounds so weird, like, but for me, like, when I look at, like, people, I look at them and I'm like, observing, like, okay, the guy's got, you know, I don't know what is. You just train for so long.

You see certain body parts.

You know, okay.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

So if I see a guy with long spindly legs, I'm thinking,

damn storm. I don't know what is. You just train for so long. You see certain body parts. You know, okay. Absolutely. Yeah. So if I see a guy with long spindly legs, I'm thinking,

damn storm's coming through. You hear that. We got bad storm. Sounds powerful. Yeah. But, uh, you know, I see a guy with spinly legs. I'm like, okay, I got to be wary of triangles. And I see with a guy some like some big meaty legs I'm like oh he's gonna have some power in him

You know I was like so I need to be wary of that so yeah right let him know

You primarily pull guard and stuff don't you like i watch some of your polarist matches and you're like pulling guard and doing some funky yeah absolutely you know so i when i started jitza i was about 14 15 years old so i was a i was a lot lighter at that point you know i i saw jitza i was around 50 kilos, which would be 110 pounds. Yeah. Yes. How are you? I'm about 5'9. Okay. So that would be 100s. You guys do feet and inches, right? Yeah, we're stupid. Yeah. Okay. No, we do that. Everywhere else in Europe does centimetres, we okay cool the thing is we we do stone which

really doesn't make any sense whatsoever we don't it was we were talking about that

there's a we were doing a Costa Rica camp and there was a guy who's uh Steve he's from

from up north a little bit and he um he was saying like how much you weigh and he said something

like X amount of stones. I'm like stones.

Like what the hell is a stone?

How much is a stone?

It doesn't, it literally makes no sense or so ever. And like one stone is pretty heavy. Yeah, one stone it would be, um, 12 pounds. Yeah. So how do you do that? So like you say like one point. I don't do. I don't do stone. I do you have no idea in stone.

I do kilos.

Kilos is the best.
