Jon Jarvis is a Black Belt, and Owner of Kent Grapple basing in Sittingbourne, Kent. He started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in his early twenties after being inspired by a Head and Arm Triangle secured by Brock Lesner back in the day. Jon started his competition career during his White and Blue Belt, and continues to build resilience of not giving up, through to his Brown Belt days when he commenced his journey into starting his own Jiu Jitsu school. One of the challenges Jon is seeking to overcome is returning to competition. Many of us, as we continue our Jiu Jitsu journeys and progress through life may grow further away from the competitive nature of Submission Only and Competitions, however returning to grow our resilience as we age is something to consider.

E094: Paul Skivington - Brown Belt Get your Limited Edition Rash guard celebrating the 100th episode of the JIU JITSU LOU Podcast. Before the 18th September! https://adaptjj.com/collections/unreleased Paul Skivington is a Brown Belt and has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for around 7 years. He came to the sport as a competitive player, having lost his leg at 23 and only gotten into sports again at age 30. Being a boxer and golfer and previously in the military, he realised that his identity was very much focused in the past. Like many of us he wished to be the best person for his children, and to learn to focus on the future. Competing three weeks into his jiu jitsu career is a massive inspiration to any of us. One of Paul's goals for the future is to promote and support Para Jiu Jitsu here in the UK. To keep his cardio at a peak level, he trains on a Spin bike on a very regular basis, and anything that Paul now does has to contribute to his progress in Jiu Jitsu, especially to enable him competing at every level.

Get your Limited Edition Rash guard celebrating the 100th episode of the JIU JITSU LOU Podcast. Before the 18th September! https://adaptjj.com/collections/unreleased Josh Vogel started martial arts back in 1999, starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2003 realised it was something he wanted to do as a career, after moving on from skateboarding and Ninja movies. Having been mugged and beaten up in his teenage years, learning Jiu Jitsu seemed like a good move, and being a creative, and realising that he wasn't going to be the best at what he was doing, wasn't going to turn out as a profession but Jiu Jitsu was. Josh was inspired by the potential of practice, magic and visualisation of one day achieving his Black Belt, and no real limit to what he could achieve for his life. He shares the surprise of his achievement in this art, with his wife Ange, to-date, owning a Jiu Jitsu school, and much more. The concept of 'filling buckets' for each position you may find yourself in, in Jiu Jitsu is really important, certainly for those of us at lower ranks of BJJ. Josh helps us to understand how to deal with the differences in training partners, when coaching kids, or even learning Jiu Jitsu ourselves.
