Training in martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, wrestling, & Muay Thai is my outlet for improving my mental health and becoming a better person.

On this twentieth episode of the show, I talk to Wim Deputter. Wim is a 2nd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Felipa Costa. Wim has been competing for more than 20 years in MMA, BJJ, and a variety of grappling sports. He is the head coach at Brasa Belgium in Leuven, Belgium.

On this episode, Wim shares about how training in the martial arts from a young age has impacted his life. He talks about the mental evolution he sees in his students as they progress from a beginner to an advanced student. We also talk about breath work and why Wim has begun to incorporate a breathing practice into his life.

Wim shares about why its important to focus on your breath at all points in life. He talks about how he has applied a lifetime of Jiu-Jitsu knowledge to his life off the mats. He shares from a wealth of martial arts experience and provides his counter-intuitive approach to training Jiu-Jitsu.
