This week we spoke to Nick Raphael.

Nick isn’t a champion or even a naturally talented jiu jitsu player, but he has the most amazing willpower of anyone I’ve ever met. The guy just keeps going no matter what, and it’s led him to great success in life and a brown belt at the age of 45.

This is a an inspirational episode and includes some of Nick’s fantastic stories from both on and off the mat.

In this episode, we are joined by the star of the hit web series “Enter The Dojo”, Matt Page. A real life BJJ blue belt, Matt tells us about the inception of the show and his hilarious character “Master Ken”. We also get a chance to chat with Master Ken about his style Ameri-Do-Te and why all other martial arts are bullshit.

This week we have an interview with Rolando Delgado often called Roli. Roli is a 2nd degree black belt that trains in Little Rock Arkansas at West Side MMA. Roli has fought in the UFC and Bellator, but he is most widely known in the BJJ community for his ability to teach and preform leg locks.
Some highlights from this interview:

“The most dangerous moves in Jiu-Jitsu are take-downs and kimuras”

“Reaping the knee is a risk that is way overstated and blown out of proportion”

“With the Gi on I am okay with no heal hooks…. we need a sport that we can all do and grow old with.”

We also talk about:

His start to the martial arts
What he does off of the mat (hunting deer and owning a pawn shop)
His recent trip to Brazil
How he started focusing on leg locks
His app “Legal Leg Locks for BJJ“
Why some people don’t like leg locks
Using legs locks to be used for a Bjj Brick
The rules for BJJ and leg locks
Why mid level blue belt is a good time to start working on leg locks
Finding confidence in your game from hard work
Advice for students that are competing for the first time
Why you should be trying to funnel your match into your strong areas
The concept of defend than attack
His match with Jason Bircher in Respect 1 on Feb 28
