62: Resilience, Laughter and a Splash of Jiu Jitsu

 This episode unfolds a tapestry of tenacity and technique, from the empowering insights of Penny Thomas' women's self-defense seminar to the varying styles of coaching. We take an inspiring ride, examining the nuance of color perception among artists, the invaluable skill of verbal judo, and the friendships that underpin our decision to linger after class.

Be a fly on the wall during our most candid moments, where we peel back the layers of what it means to progress in jiu jitsu. We talk of navigating training with a chronic condition; we also dive into the challenges and triumphs that come with coaching and the personal evolution of our techniques and strategies. 

Close your gi, tie your belt, and prepare to be moved by stories of resilience, personal goals, and the inevitable laugh-out-loud moments that grace our training sessions. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the sport, you'll find connection and inspiration in our discussion on the benefits of jiu jitsu, the strategies with different body types, and the mental fortitude learned in training. Join us as we talk about our experiences!
