Bless you, that's what I think is the correct best way to greet somebody and at the same time making the best use of my words as possible. Why only bless when you sneeze? When you show a sign of weakness do I invoke God? Nah , lets make it more common. Feels better, no? Sponsors!I owe you beautiful beasts so much, listen Kaizen ! You are doing something that will stand for generations to come and I stand with you because you stand with me and all off the BJJ community. Braus man am I proud that I have you guys on my side, more so I am proud of Marcelo the representative of Braus in Europe.  He is also 2024 European Champion! I mean this guy believes in what he sales and believes in the gentle art to the point that he goes out there and stands on the front lines. Tell me a better example, therefore  this one goes to Marcelo. OSS Thank you for Everything and Congratulations on Winning the Euros. Interview Fantastic, that's what it was. The day started of with Jeroen and I leaving Amsterdam in the morning to do an openmat in Sint Niklaas near Antwerp.  The trip was fun you always get to warm up to deeper conversations with somebody if you take a car trip with them and i had the best of company for this. When we arrived nothing had prepared us for such a Good class, we were treated to a seminar kind of class from Maarten and a sneak peak of his Porrada Passing System.  This of course means that im immediately thinking of going home and Porrada on everybody's guard. And yooooo jumping jambalaya on a stick that stuff was great. Afterwards i got my guard smashed by him during openmat but we shall not speak about that now. Focus its about the podcast. It started smooth the goal of the Podcast was to speak on the following themes that he himself kind of dropped during casual conversation and I built my questions around it. The themes of this podcast are ; Faith, Family and Friends. The rest my dear friends I'll let you listen to by yourselves. but let me tell you, i went home with my mind and soul well fed as i was presented with a banquete of good conversation. Love you all Be Blessed Julio Vinke Support the show

Today is a special day because I am speaking to a master I've met before at the beginning of my journey in a seminar I had while living in Belgium as a blue belt. Funny how the world spins and we end up sitting across from each other and having an actual conversation now for the podcast where we get to record who he is and what he does for future generations. There is going to be an opportunity to meet him soon in november of 2023 here in Amsterdam so if you're in the neighbourhood his seminars are awesome! This episode is recorded in Portuguese, sorry for my english speaking fans, no worries we have plans to make the podcast bigger with your help and having them on youtube in the future with translations. I wanted to thank Braus for giving the opportunity for me to create the podcast itself and they are just awesome with their products that supports lives in ways that we don't think possible yet, also for them openly supporting my onlyfans that is dedicated to body shaming in BJJ Special thanks to Kaizen league for supporting this podcast as well , they are the main contribution to my onlyfans which also feeds my need for attention and keeps me mentally stable. Pow galera , não vou traduzir tudo que eu disse agora, mas foi de boa pode acreditar.

Sponsors for this videoAs always its a pleasure to thank Braus for their ongoing support on making me look good while I absolutely terrorize the middle aged, middle class working men and women of this generation with pseudo homo erotic breastfeeding shenanigans. Remember when you look good people will let you do shit to them and i look the best in Braus Pro light Black Gi. Check it here.Also Thank you to Kaizen for making this episode possible ! they are changing the game of Bjj competitions in the world. That's all i will say for now cause nothing will justify the tsunami of A class competition heading our way.  In today's episode, we journey back in time to explore the remarkable life and legacy of Mitsuyo Maeda, a true pioneer of Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.Episode Highlights:Born in 1878 in Funagata, Japan, Mitsuyo Maeda's journey from a small village to becoming a global martial arts icon is nothing short of inspirational. As a young man, he trained under Judo's founder, Jigoro Kano, and quickly established himself as one of the most talented and innovative martial artists of his time.Maeda embarked on a journey that would take him across the world, showcasing the power and effectiveness of Judo. He became a traveling martial artist, captivating audiences in countries as far-reaching as Europe, North America, and even the Amazon rainforest.But it was Maeda's fateful encounter with a young Brazilian named Carlos Gracie in 1917 that changed the course of martial arts history forever. Together, they laid the foundation for what would later become Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a martial art that emphasized leverage, technique, and strategy over sheer strength.Support the show

First of all a thank you to the best smellign sponsor out there. not many of you can boast of the odor of a sponsor but i can, Braus. you just smell amazing and the Gi's you produce are more then beautiful, exquisite quality and fashion. Sugoi ! check out the Website ! Also the discount code for Braus is CAULI10% thank me later when your wearing the most comfortable gi out there. Cheers!  So last time i gave a little bit of a teaser to who jigoro kano is and today i plan to go a little deeper with this Podcast but i will only go into the history of how jigoro kanos life has been. Its truly remarkable and inspiring, i mean if you a looking for a roll model He is a very good candidate to have and i admire him more and more the more i read about him and his work. You see his focus has always been on one thing, make better the life of those around you and yes although the reason he started jujutsu and learning jujutsu was to be stronger and fight back against his bullies he still transformed that initial urge into something that to this day could change the world. I will go on to the philosophy in the second part of the podcast. In the first part I will talk about his life so we have a fundamental understanding of where this man came from. Hope you Enjoy and Stay Sexy. Support the show

What is up my beautiful Martial Artists. Today I am once again very blessed to bring you something worth your time and attention as per usual, all other nonsensical things I scream at passing cars on the Highway usually doesn't get recorded. Mostly those moments are full of grunts and naughty words that would make a videogame streamer blush. So not really worth pulling out my microfone for that. (I might record these in the future for guided meditation reasons) But enough of my outbursts lets get to what is important. I was talking to Emad and he is coming out with a spectacular line up for his Amsterdam BJJ Camp this year that promises to surpass the previous instalments by leaps and bounds and of course I had some questions I wanted to ask. This time its going to be a full week of enjoying and learning from the worlds best and brightest.

Em especial as conexões que criamos, como damos um  sentido à vida, e, como vivemos. Nesse Episódio tive a sorte e o prazer de falar com o Rider e a gente xingou pra caralho…Na moral, se você não aguenta palavrão,  porra sai daqui. (perdão meu Deus) Teve muita risada e muita, mas muita, sabedoria que recebi através das palavras dele. A alegria que ele tem no coração por ter encontrado o jiu-jítsu é contagiante e isso fica nítido nesse podcast. É tão contagiante que no primeiro treino que fiz depois dessa conversa, eu entrei no espirito de treino duro e apanhei mais que o normal! (E sabe o que, gostei? Pronto, falei). Agradecimento  Obrigado meu Deus pela oportunidade! Quero agradecer também na íntegra a equipe da www.bouwmeestermedia.nl que facilitou a filmagem desse episódio, e que já está disponível no youtube via este link.  Quero transmitir meus agradecimentos  também ao pessoal da Marshlands Jiujitsu.  Os louros são em especial para o professor Matthias que possibilitou o encontro entre a Cauliflower Philosophy e o Rider Zuchi. Agora para os amigos que nós patrocinam. Braus que tem material de jiu-jítsu simplesmente fantástico de alta qualidade. Eu mesmo sou embaixador para a marca por isso que tô empurrado aqui para vocês. Apex tem material excelente voltado para o MMA admiro muito a paixão e a dedicação que eles tem com trabalho deles.

Harun is an exceptional human being and amazing coach that I personally enjoyed speaking to a lot!   We arrived at the gym to participate in a training with none other then Reinier de Ridder.  The gym which is above a Monkey Town so the first temptation of the day had to be fought of right at arrival. As we enter we are greeted by a gorilla statue. This set the mood for what was awaiting us inside. The training was awesome and the vibe was amazing and that’s something that added to my interest in the coaches of Combat Brothers! After the training we had a talk and man there was so much interesting about this man that I immediately  planned a podcast session with him. I tried to ask the questions that would put into to words that specific vibe you get from an awesome gym and it was a sound succes! Hope you guys enjoy!To learn more about Harun and his work check out there website at https://combatbrothers.nl/Love you all :) Julio VinkeSupport the show
