I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode and it could have gone on for hours. I apologise for some blurriness on one of the cameras at certain stages throughout the podcast, as there was a setting error. None the less, get ready for an awesome show as we hang out with Ivan Voronoff, my brother, and owner of the Melbourne Jiu-Jitsu Academy which also happens to be my neighbour at Jungle HQ where we lift weights together and record the podcast. Ivan has become more than just a neighbour and business associate - he's someone I genuinely care about and feel thankful for. He's been a great source of support and has taught me some valuable life lessons throughout our time spent together.
In this podcast, we dive deep into the world of jiu-jitsu. We talk about how it's evolved over time, the different styles it has from its Japanese and Brazilian influences, and the buzz around the rising popularity of grappling in general. I always enjoy and feel privileged to hear first hand stories about his life growing up in Brazil and learn of the similarities between Brazilian and Australian people and their cultures.
Together, we busted through those stigmas and discussed how the jiu-jitsu mats can be a safe haven for men to open up about their feelings and struggles after training. It's a unique environment where guys can let their guards down without the fear of judgement and find support. Powerful stuff!
Ivan is a real role model, especially for the youth of our generation. His kids program is the heart and soul of the Melbourne Jiu Jitsu academy and his purpose as a coach and human being. I know you will enjoy, just like I did, hearing him speak on the importance of jiu jitsu, over coming adversity and instilling important life values within the training environment.
Join us on the journey through jiu-jitsu. We're not only celebrating the physical awesomeness of it all but also shining a light on its impact on mental health and personal growth. Ivan Voronoff's got all the wisdom, heart, and dedication to inspire anyone who tunes in. You won't want to miss it!
