Phil is a third degree black belt with over 20 years of grappling experience. He shares some of the wealth of knowledge he has amassed on his journey from the mid-1990s, when BJJ was in its infancy in Australia compared to the massive growth today. Phil provides tips how we can look after ourselves as we get older so that we donât always wake up with injuries, and encourages people to heed the wisdom imparted on him as a white belt: that by the time you achieve a black belt, you will tap a million times.

Richard of Kemps MMA chatted about the bumps and bruises that you get in training which can be a lot like the bumps and bruises that you learn to deal with in life. This means that when a big problem happens, you can deal with it much easier than you would have if you hadnât experienced those challenges, which helps build resilience. Menâs mental health is a very import issue to Richard - find the link to their academy's Movember initiative below.

This weekâs Roll or Die episode is a first of its kind. Our first Brazilian-based guest and our first with the use of an English translator. For our Portuguese speaking listeners, you're in for a treat but if like our hosts you don't speak the language, you'll have no problems listening to this and picking up words as you go along. From humble beginnings in Brazil to the bright lights of Las Vegas, we hear about a rapid rise from training and into coaching, getting to tournaments with no food or money to building one of the biggest gyms in the area. Fabio is a great story-teller and a man who is helping to build some serious competitors on the mats and in the cage.
