OntheMat.com proudly presents the FightWorks Podcast! The top Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Grappling, and MMA Podcast on the Net!
www.thefightworkspodcast.comOur feature story this week on our Brazilian jiu jitsu internet radio show is about changing BJJ schools. Change happens. It’s a part of life. Sometimes it is under circumstances that are good, sometimes less so. Sometimes everybody involved is okay with someone moving on, and other times it can be downright hostile.

In the first of our two-part discussion on changing BJJ schools, this week cohost Dan and I will speak with Elyse Goldberg, who blogs at GringaBJJ. Due to just leaving school, finding a new job in a new town, etc., Elyse is more experienced than most when it comes to moving on from one’s surroundings and training in a new school and has plenty of good advice on the topic.
We will also speak with our medical correspondent, Doctor Aaron Schneir, a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and emergency medicine specialist at UCSD. Doc will answer some more questions we got from you, the listeners on our toll-free number (877) 247-4662 about chokes in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. (Actually the questions came from Ricky in Salt Lake City, Utah and Delano from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Next time I am sure you will call ;)).
Speaking of questions we received from the Mighty 600,000, we received a call from Jay in New Hampshire for our recent guest Penny Thomas. Penny will discuss ways to manage Jay’s lower back pain in jiu jitsu.
Finally, the World Team Trials of submission grappling are coming to a close here in the United States. Chris Carlino of USA Wrestling will come on to give us the low down on the last competition to determine who will represent the USA at FILA’s World Championships of submission grappling in Switzerland later this year against athletes from over 50 other countries!
Next week we will continue our discussion about changing schools. If you have any thoughts or experiences to share, call our toll-free number (877) 247-4662!
