Amy, a first degree Black Belt, is a breath of fresh air with a novel way to teach classes that we could certainly explore. Workshop Jiu Jitsu teaches students in a very unique way, whereby they learn the gentle art in an ecological way rather than traditional âtechniquesâ. Effectively, they are learning through play.
We also chat about what itâs like being a Mum on the mats, training smarter as an older grappler and more about the Jiu JItsu scene in New Zealand and the beautiful city of Wellington. Donât miss this episode!

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.

We are joined this week by the shy but competitive Sefo from Rise MMA. A Brown Belt under Cam Rowe, we talk about competing at the ADCC Trials in what perhaps is the toughest weight division, post trials refuelling, conquering fears on becoming a coach, being ok with losing matches and night before comp routines.

After almost five years and over 200 episodes, the Roll or Die crew are sad to announce the departure of cohost Anton Harrison-Kern from the podcast đą Anton was the creator and mastermind behind the idea for Roll or Die and has been instrumental in its success. We never would have thought when this idea started in early 2020 that it would take off so well and become as popular as it is.
Roll or Die will continue with Kim and a new cohost to be revealed soon! We look forward to continuing to bring you the stories and adventures of the wonderful people who make up the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community in Australia into the future đ
