ÜBER DIESEN PODCAST 🔗
Small Man Podcast
The Small Man Podcast is where Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu meets real life.
Hosted in Hawaii, each episode features honest conversations with the people who make the Jiu-Jitsu community special—from world champions and seasoned black belts to dedicated parents, first-time white belts, coaches, business owners, and everyday practitioners. These aren't just stories about winning tournaments—they're stories about overcoming adversity, building confidence, strengthening families, and discovering purpose on and off the mats.
You'll hear inspiring journeys of resilience, sacrifice, perseverance, and personal growth, along with practical insights on training, longevity, mindset, leadership, and the life lessons that Jiu-Jitsu teaches.
Whether you're a lifelong grappler, just thinking about stepping onto the mats, or simply enjoy hearing powerful stories from extraordinary people, the Small Man Podcast delivers conversations that motivate, educate, and inspire.
New episodes feature:
- Inspiring Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journeys
- Training, mindset, and longevity tips
- Family, faith, and community stories
- Interviews with athletes, coaches, and local leaders
- Lessons that apply far beyond the mats
No matter your size, background, or experience, everyone has a story worth telling.
Train hard. Stay humble. Keep showing up. Welcome to the Small Man Podcast.
