Had a great time doing this with my good friend Namtaow, whom I’ve known for close to 7 years now. It’s amazing to see his growth as a friend, father, doctor and jiu-jitsu practitioner.
Stuff we talked about:
- Connecting through BJJ
- Learning who you are (and who others are from) rolling
- You can’t be the tough guy in jiu-jitsu
- Giving back to the community
- Gato Studio and jiu-jitsu in Chiang Mai
- Watching everyone grow and get promoted
- The metaphor of BJJ
- Music is for everyone = BJJ is for everyone
- Being remembered in a positive way
- Being a part of everyone’s growth
- Being a good partner
- Being a responsible higher belt
- Countering the counter
- Struggles through covid
- The importance of finding a good jiu-jitsu community
- You will never be White Belt again
- Overcoming failure quickily
- There are no lies in jiu-jitsu
- Viewing sparring as a sport
- Accept the failures and move on
- Everyone lives different lives
- You are important
Thanks for listening,
Aaron
