Seph Smith is a name that echoes across Richmond’s Jiu Jitsu scene and beyond. A black belt under Ryan Hall with impressive IBJJF accolades, Seph has built a reputation as both a competitor and a coach who makes high-level Jiu Jitsu accessible to everyone. But Seph isn’t just about the mats. He’s also a stand-up comic, an animal lover, and the kind of guy who can go from breaking down guard passing strategy to cracking a room full of people up without missing a beat. In this episode, Jenn and Mal sit down with Seph to talk about his path in Jiu Jitsu, what it’s like balancing competition with comedy, and of course…the now infamous “full v*gina passing” banter. It’s Jiu Jitsu, it’s laughs, it’s friendship—it’s exactly why we love doing this podcast. @sephwillkillyou @upstreambjj
