Summary
Ryron Gracie is kind of a big deal.
One could even say this week's Brute Podcast guest has Brazilian jiu-jitsu in his blood, as this legend in the sport also shares ancestry with its original creator, Hélio Gracie (yup, he's grandfathered in—literally).
Listening to Ryron talk, you can tell he is a calm, collected and self-aware individual—all of which he attributes to his experiences training in the sport of jiu-jitsu. For him, it's more than a sport. It's a lifestyle. Listen to this week's episode for a more in-depth look at his beginnings, from a childhood spent growing up practicing jiu-jitsu in his garage to how he's developed a set of principles that can be applied to multiple disciplines, life included.
Topics:
11:40 – Childhood
23:10 – Grandfather Hélio/How to deal with stress
33:15 – Disneyland Melon, composure and how to control thoughts/actions
46:45 – Mistakes in jiu-jitsu, myths, learning about yourself
54:30 – Letting go, experiencing
1:01:00 – Key principles of efficiency in jiu-jitsu
1:06:40 – Common mistakes in jiu-jitsu

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Brute Strength Podcast, bringing you worldwide experts from all areas of health and fitness. |
| 0:08.4 | We cover training, nutrition, coaching, and mindset. |
| 0:12.3 | Welcome your host, Strength and Conditioning Coach, 2012 and 2013 CrossFit Games Channel, Michael Cajou. |
| 0:19.6 | Mind, Body, Brute. |
| 0:25.9 | Hey, before we get this show started, let me quickly tell you about a program that we just |
| 0:29.7 | launched called Outside the Box. |
| 0:32.0 | When we first started Brute, we simply served people that wanted to train for and compete |
| 0:36.7 | at the CrossFit regionals and games. Pretty quickly, we transitioned to also working with people that |
| 0:42.9 | wanted to compete in the open, people that just wanted to look better naked, people that |
| 0:47.3 | wanted to compete in weightlifting, as well as a host of other goals. About a year and a half, |
| 0:53.4 | we started hearing more and more from members |

| 1:16.6 | So we created this program with them in mind. Outside the box is a 30 minute a day program for five days a week and it requires minimal equipment. |
| 1:26.6 | There are three different tiers. The first |
| 1:29.1 | tier requires only a set of dumbbells and each higher level requires more and more equipment. |
| 1:35.8 | So whatever you have, we've got something for you. At Brute, we really pride ourselves in bringing together experts in every area of the sport of fitness. |
| 1:47.8 | And so when we were thinking about creating this program, we realized that we didn't have anyone that was an expert in general physical preparedness. |
| 1:55.8 | So we had to go out and find that person. |
| 2:00.1 | That's when we decided to team up with the founders of warm up and |
| 2:04.4 | workout Pat and Taz Barber. Pat has been a CrossFit level one and level two instructor, |
