In this episode I interview Jiu Jitsu black belt Marysia Malyjasiak (yes I butcher her name on the podcast) on behalf of Trapp BJJ. Marysia is the newest Trapp BJJ instructor and second instructor to sit down with me for an interview. For those who may not have accessed Trapp BJJ, the app and website provide detailed Jiu Jitsu tutorials  and is available on all Apple and Android devices.

During the podcast we discuss a host of items from the beginning of her training in Poland to her plans for the future. In particular,  I don’t want you to miss the discussion we have on the key components to success in competition and the little things that will make a huge difference. Marysia describes it as “the triangle” and you’d be surprised about one of the key components which technically has nothing to do with training.

I’ll wrap it up there because I don’t want to spoil it for you. Competitor, coach, parent, or mentor it’s definitely worth the listen. IBJJF DC and New York Open are right around the corner, this could be the key ingredient to your success.

Anyway guys, until next time, KEEP GRINDING
