In this episode of The Strenuous Life Podcast I was thrilled to talk with the articulate and knowledgable Seph Smith.

Seph is a prolific competitor, was awarded his BJJ black belt by UFC fighter Ryan Hall, and has a black belt in Combat Sambo.

He has competed with and without the gi and in MMA as well.

We covered many topics including

How to train leglocks safely,

Competing in Judo and Sambo,

Opening his own school and how to be a good teacher,

Making instructional products,

Dealing with potentially career-ending injuries,

Future evolution of BJJ

How to have a well rounded game,

How to perform well under pressure,

And much more.
