Dan Lukehart aka "TrumpetDan" talks the creation of IBJJFRankings.com, Prestige of IBJJF + How They Could Improve. - part 1
Description
It’s been a while since the last episode, but trust me—this one’s worth the wait.
This is part one of a two-part conversation. The full, uncut version (around 3 hours) is up on YouTube.
Dan Lukehart is a third-degree BJJ black belt under Beneil Dariush, owner of Brea Jiu-Jitsu in California, and co-owner of IBJJFRankings.com. He’s known for his deep understanding of IBJJF rules, his old-school training logs, and his detailed athlete breakdowns.
Dan also coaches Nolan Stuart, who—in his first year as a black belt—won the IBJJF Pan Ams and placed second at both the Brazilian Nationals and the Worlds, losing only to Erich Munis, the current #1 pound-for-pound black belt.
Part two dives more into athlete development and building competitive teams.
There’s a slight echo on my voice in this episode due to a speaker issue—it won’t happen again. Thanks for listening!
