Summary
Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs with our guest Dr. Arman Fathi, a chiropractor, entrepreneur, classically trained pianist and one of the most socially accepted BJJ practitioners in the entire country!
He is the first black belt under Idris Redzovic of the legendary Redzovic Brothers AND holds a black belt under the polarizing Eddie Bravo in the 10th Planet system, making him one of the rare few to hold elite rank across two of the most respected and opposing schools of thought in jiu jitsu.
This almost-dentist earned his bachelor's, master's and doctorate in chiropractic and is one of the few people on the planet who can break you and put you back together in the same day. His hands humble people on the mats and heal people off them, and those same fingers can be found making beautiful music on the piano as he performs alongside Eddie Bravo's band Hook Thieves.
He owned and sold a successful BJJ academy, and has built genuine bridges across BJJ schools, gyms and communities all over the country through his people first approach to life and business. He is a master of relationships, a student of longevity and a walking example of what it looks like to turn every passion into a profession without ever burning a bridge along the way.
Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, athlete, or simply someone hungry for inspiration, this episode delivers powerful insights on:
✅ How to get welcomed at any BJJ gym nationwide
✅ What's common between music theory and jiu jitsu
✅ Zone Technique chiropractic and why it changes everything
✅ Why people skills beat business skills every single time
✅ How belonging to a community changes your entire life + more
Incredible conversation packed with lessons on business, health, martial arts and life you will not want to miss!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the A-game podcast with Nick LaManya, digging into the minds and experiences of some of today's brightest entrepreneurs in real estate and business, |
| 0:23.6 | along with Hollywood stars, UFC fighters, and your favorite rock fans. |
| 0:27.6 | People that have figured out how to overcome obstacles, take chances, live boldly, |
| 0:32.6 | and no matter what they do, they always bring their A-game. |
| 0:47.6 | Welcome back to the A-game podcast for estate investing for entrepreneurs, |
| 0:51.4 | where we show average people every day that they can achieve extraordinary things. |
| 0:58.9 | And in the past archives of this episode, we have about 400 episodes and more of some of the biggest and best and most successful people in the country, from investing to music, to sports, Jiu-Jitsu, martial arts, real estate investing, crypto, |
| 1:04.8 | astronauts, actors, comedians, you name it, that give you step by step exactly how they achieve |
| 1:09.7 | their goals and hit the mountaintops and all the mistakes they made along the way so you do not have to make them. |
| 1:15.6 | And if those episodes were not enough, we have another banger today with Dr. Armand Fati, who is |
| 1:20.6 | a chiropractor who is very well known within the Jitsu community. |
| 1:23.6 | He has two black belts, one under the Registrate Brothers, and also has one under the amazing Eddie Bravo, who he is also the piano player for in the band Hook Thieves with Eddie Bravo himself. |
| 1:34.3 | This man has already lived many lives at the age of 37. He's lived all over the country, traveled all over the world, he's judjitsu everywhere, and he has welcomed indoors all across the country building bridges, and learning how to be accepted by people of all shapes and sizes. And this is a very interesting thing because we talk a lot about the parallels that you'll see from a guy who not only gives you guys a lot of advice to how to grow and run and sell a successful business, but also like really good life and business principals because the reason he's able to |
| 2:01.5 | walk into jihuts or schools all over the country, even when they're total opposites, totally different |
| 2:06.0 | instructors, totally different types of schools, totally different fields, totally different |
| 2:10.3 | agendas, totally different personalities. He messes with all of them because he understands the |
| 2:15.0 | etiquette and the business of people. That is exactly what real estate is. That's really what business is. What your module is that you use, what your vehicle is that you use, what your widget is that you use. Could be crypto, could be houses, could be jujitsu, could be whatever business you're doing. But if you don't understand the people business, it's going to be a long road for you. And I believe that he quoted Hennar Gracie on this, where he said, it doesn't matter what you're selling. If people like you, they'll buy. And it doesn't matter how good your presentation is. If they don't like you, they will not buy. So people all want to do business with people that they like, that they know and that they trust. And this is a gentleman who has made that happen plenty of times, earning a doctorate as a chiropractor, earning two black belts, becoming a classically trained pianist, and making a name for himself all over social media and jiu-jitsu gyms and clubs across the country.
