On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Professor Gabriel Serra to talk about his experiences in training martial arts most of his life starting with Judo at the age of 9. Professor Gabriel holds a black belt in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We talked about the similarities and differences of the two martial arts and how cross training between them improved his game. I also learned a little bit about the history of how these martial arts were developed.


Professor Gabriel also shared how martial arts opened opportunities in his life that he would not have had otherwise such as moving to different parts of the world like the United Arab Emirates and now Canada.


I also asked Professor Gabriel about how BJJ can be used to improve health and fitness. We talked about the various aspects of health such as physical activity, nutrition, sleep, environment, and social connections and their relationship with BJJ.


So if all that sounds interesting then this podcast episode is for you.
