In this episode, we are joined by Alex West, a rising figure in the Jiu-Jitsu community, a dedicated instructor, and a fierce competitor.
Alex is a BJJ brown belt and one of the most active and successful competitors in his local scene. He trains and teaches at Precision Jiu-Jitsu in New Hampshire with Shawn Melanson, where he helps shape the next generation of grapplers in a no-gi-focused environment.
In this episode, we dive into Alex’s journey into Jiu-Jitsu, how he balances the demands of training, competing, coaching, and fatherhood, and his insights into the evolution of no-gi grappling. We also discuss his experience working with BJJ Fanatics, his new instructional on leg locks, and his approach to training and developing a competition mindset.
Alex has a fresh and unique perspective on Jiu-Jitsu, and this conversation is packed with valuable insights for competitors, coaches, and hobbyists alike.
