We appreciate all the time and effort that you put into your work. Recognizing that you need to take a break instead of just trying to power through is incredibly insightful and inspiring. Whenever you are ready to share more content your real fans will be there and will appreciate it deeply.

[@talkjitsu]

Thanks man! I've been feeling a lot better lately. I've really realized how many people support me and I should only give my attention to those people. There will always be weirdos out there being negative but they're not my people so they can F off lol. I appreciate the support man 🙏

[@ac2jones]

@@talkjitsu We do support you! You're doing great producing awesome and valuable content for anyone at any level of their BJJ to extract value from!

[@stugler6939]

@@talkjitsu I'm sure you've considered it but what about hiring an editor? You do have a specific style to your videos but I bet there would be a BJJ hobbyist that edits videos and understands what you would want.

I think a lot of the stigma around TRT bleeds over from the bodybuilding and fitness community. People advertise for products (training programs, supplements) using their physique as the selling point and simply lie about being natural. There is also the fact that regular people who do not train doesn't realize that all these athletes and movie stars are enhanced, even if it is obvious when you have some experience. I don't think there is anything wrong with bringing your testosterone levels into what would be a normal range for you as long as it is done in a safe manner. Huge respect to people who are upfront about it to be honest.

[@talkjitsu]

Agreed 100%. Anything for the dollar. " use this supplement." Meanwhile they're running a stack of steroids. I think people would be more open about their use if people weren't as critical about their use. I often see people on reddit blasting trt users.

[@uke_mike]

I agree 100%

[@cotydudley183]

I appreciate you Jordan, and everyone that airs on your channel. Please don't let idiots that probably accomplish nothing with there time mess up a great thing for others. Thank you for all you do.

[@talkjitsu]

Thanks man you're totally right! I've realized that since. Screw the weirdos. I do it for people like you that appreciate the content 🙏

[@cotydudley183]

I really do appreciate the content. It has helped me so much. Not just me my daughter as well. She is way better against her peers. She is tapping all the boys and winning competitions by submissions. Thank you Jordan!

[@onyxcideYT]

In my opinion you have the best jiu jitsu content on KZbin. Don’t let the haters get to you brother.

[@Bbookinn]

Great episode! This podcast is getting me through the down time at work. can't wait for class tonight

[@seekdiscomfort1942]

Fuck the haters Jordan - much respect to you

[@talkjitsu]

Thanks man I hate being so sensitive to criticism. Definitely a huge flaw of mine that gets in the way of my success and life in general.

[@gohome99]

Hi guys, I am enjoying the podcast. Great discussion, and I agree with you advice to the elders... As a 49 yo hobbyist brown belt, I feel that picking your rolls and moderating intensity is important for longevity. Some days, I don't roll with the big, athletic, competition blues and purples. Browns and blacks are fine to roll with, unless they are in comp prep. Some days I only drill and work with lower belts and the aged, and some days I feel fiesty. :) Nutrition and proper sleep are critical for me, as well as some mobility training and very moderate S&C.

[@badxradxandy]

Agree with you guys on TRT and good point about sleep apnea, Jordan. Getting both of those things addressed really changed my life for the better. Everything is a PED. Adderall, coffee, sleep, Albuterol, allergy medicine. It's not "fair" that some things have a stigma but it is what it is. I see it changing though.

[@wm6549]

Great episode

[@talkjitsu]

Thank you!

[@JohnPadgett]

Great podcast guys. Regarding TRT. There are serious health risks to consider before taking the treatment. It's not a magic bullet. Yes, it might help you keep up with the younger students but during recent studies it's shown to higher the risk of heart attacks, strokes, prostate cancer and sleeping disorders.

[@talkjitsu]

It's going to be a thing of ongoing debates and similar, it seems. But yeah, one ought to be careful when considering TRT, for sure

[@Mike_Phoutrides1611]

Great show!

[@talkjitsu]

Thank you 🙏

[@BEDCAN23]

Good episode! When you talked about people trying to fight you in Boston it reminded me of Matt Serra and people trying to fight him 😅. There's a couple funny clips of it in Dana White Looking for a Fight.

[@panterajiujitsu1]

It wasn’t a competition it was a rolling session. Maybe Bernardo let you work

[@talkjitsu]

Agreed, that's why it's annoying seeing people say theres levels and he destroyed me. It was just a roll and one I thought I did pretty well in overall.

[@katokianimation]

@@talkjitsu most of the haters probably never roll. Or they suck at BJJ because they treat every rolling section as a fight rather then a learning oppurtunity. I definitely learned about defense watching you. It was awsome rolling and narration

[@Jevelynn]

You guys kill it everytime!

[@talkjitsu]

Thank you! 🙂

[@iamhectorsan]

Very relatable on being pulled in different directions..

[@JK-74]

You guys have awesome rapport together. It was a great podcast. I agree with Joey about why jiu-jitsu shouldn't be in the Olympics. Yeah, people won't agree with me, but in my opinion the IOC seems to be destroying the newaza aspect of judo.

[@talkjitsu]

Thanks man we're definitely getting more comfortable now and better at this. It probably is best to avoid it becoming an olympic sport but in a perfect world it would be nice to see. Unfortunately we don't live in the world.

[@gabrielalbores846]

I'm enjoying the podcast, wasn't aware there was audience input! I like it. Funny thing for me is I'm totally opposite, I avoid promotions bc I don't want a stripe, I feel its temporary recognition that has been introduced to help keep people in a gym so they feel like they're progressing. I just want the color change, no stripes needed, and willing to wait however long my coach deems necessary. Totally respect those who want striped and use this ladder of progression though.

[@iamhectorsan]

you don’t have to prove anything to anyone, we know you’re top level. Haters gona hate.

[@Stank_Sinatra]

Hey Jordan your videos have helped my training 10 fold. I love the quality of your videos. In return for all you do, I am a video editor and would love to help with your editing if you ever feel like it’s too much to handle. This would be a gift and free for all the help that you provide to your community. Thanks for everything guys!

[@mrorbit2u]

Great podcast guys🤘🤘 The convo about street fights were spot on. There are too many variables to think bjj will get you out of everything. I'd love to hear some stories of when someone forced you guys to put a beating on them. I mean as a black belt and not just a equal fight. I think those would be funny to hear🤘👍🤘👍

[@rinseshinewindowcleaning3558]

Thanks for this podcast I’m always looking forward to a new episode! Quick bit of advice would be to hand off responsibilities in terms of editing etc etc because essentially all your needed for is the BJJ stuff so your overloading your self with stuff that you don’t need to be doing. Main focus should just be on filming then off load the other bits, leaves you more time for content without getting bogged down

[@CosmicPenguin01]

Not Jiujitsu related but man I would like some mustache and beard advice from Mike because his is goals 🔥🔥🤌🏼

[@blade8768]

I have the opposite question, I got promoted to my 3rd stripe on my white belt last Friday but I don't feel near ready, because now I get to join the no gi classes and advancing classes but I'm nervous to ask why they think I deserve my 3rd stripe even tho I get smashed and sometimes struggle against other white belts

[@maafa21MustSee]

Good episode

[@CB-lm1gn]

Yeah bro, don’t let the haters get you down man. Anytime you put yourself out there people are going to take advantage of that and try to take you down. Just ignore them. There are a bunch of broken, jealous people out there who try to prop up their self esteem by taking down others. It’s unfortunately the reality we live in. It would be a shame if a few dickheads ruined it for the rest of us that thrive on your content.

[@talkjitsu]

Don't worry man, I'll always keep making content for everyone, including those who don't like it. Jiu-Jitsu unites us, after all. 🙏

[@iamhectorsan]

Good idea re instructional

[@BrosephGordon-Levitt]

Sounds like you got the Boston experience LOL

[@myrtonen]

Steroids not being against "the rules" was quite cringy to listen to, surely there are anti-doping policies in use in most federations. Black belts approving steroid use in competitions as everyone's own business is pretty sad to listen to.

[@talkjitsu]

That's okay. We can all have our own opinions. Whether you like it or not, the majority of professional athletes are juicing. Especially in BJJ.

[@myrtonen]

@@talkjitsu thanks for your reply. I guess truth hurts.. Keep up with your awesome content!

[@justin8865]

Kind went down the steroid rabbit hole lately just cause it interested me, and I know guys in the corps who abused. Personally I think HRT is a good but the HGH, tren and anabolic steroids I have an issue with. They not only mess up your body but they have an impact on your mental health. That worries me especially since open use would just create an escalation war. And well younger atheletes would be even more incentivized to abuse. I think the testing did clean up MMA quite a bit. Sure guys still abuse but it's not the level of the early UFC.

[@talkjitsu]

I agree. I wouldn't want to take all that and mess up my physical and mental health but if others want to risk it it's all good with me. You're right the UFC isn't as bad as it was. It used to be insane. Pride too.

[@justin8865]

@@talkjitsu thanks for the reply, thinking deeper about it for a minute perhaps they should legalize and regulate it. (That's how I feel about most drugs) That way you could keep an eye on it and have atheletes get blood work constantly and medical advice. On the other hand when they go wrong they go really wrong the mental health side is really disturbing, paranoia, over or under sex drives, secretive behaviors and dishonesty. Not to mention enlarged harts. Watching more plates more dates channel on natty or not is enlightening and worrysome. Then there's the take well this locks out atheletes who cant afford high quality stuff to be fair though you could argue about coaches and high level schools. Then on top of all this there's the futurology way of thinking. Well researched PEDs could push us to a new phase. Just like augmentation or medicine.
