    Jiu-Jitsu and Showing Up Every Day with John Gutta - #51

    Jiu-Jitsu and Showing Up Every Day with John Gutta - #51

    On this episode of the Formula, I, Trevor Carlson, am joined by John Gutta. John Gutta is a head instructor and Brazilian jujitsu black belt. He trains out of Tipping Point Brazilian Jujitsu. Brazilian Jujitsu became popular in the United States in 1993 and has grown extensively in popularity since then. Now, basically in any city of 50,000 or more, there is a jujitsu gym.

    Growing up John was obsessed with professional fighting. He didn’t really play sports and was around 300 pounds in high school. John saw the Ultimate Fighter and thought it was the coolest thing he had ever seen. When looking for colleges he saw that Iowa had a Brazilian jujitsu program and decided that is what he wanted to do. When he got to college he was down to 170 pounds. Then eventually he began training other people. 

    Today we will talk about John’s journey in jujitsu and the importance of hard work, both on and off the mats. We’ll also discuss the background of Brazilian jujitsu and what is actually is as well as the process to start training and how to improve through hard work.

    - What Brazilian jujitsu is and the background behind it
    - Why it’s called Brazilian jujitsu
    - How John got into jujitsu

    Quotes
    “Without putting in those 10,000 hours, you aren’t going to be good at anything.”

    “Even if you have the best coach in the world, it still takes mat time.”<br>

    “The number one issue that we run into is people fall in love with jujitsu but their body can’t handle it yet.”

    “You’re capable of a lot more than you think you are, and you’re not going to be able to find that out unless you work really really hard.”

    #096: Steve Maxwell | Wisdom from Experience
    Steve Maxwell is a very experienced and internationally recognized fitness coach, physical educator and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor who was one of the first Americans to receive a black belt. He's had multiple appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast as well as the London Real podcast. We were lucky to snag him into our studios during a week full of seminars he was conducting in Vancouver. And we are fortunate to be joined with a guest co-host, Dr. Carlos Nunez who is a part of the Vancouver Real Community and was able to facilitate Steve's visit to our city. Steve is also a minimalist and lives a legit neo-nomadic lifestyle literally carrying all of his worldly possessions in a back-pack and laptop case as he travels ongoing around the world sharing his knowledge and wisdom. He has a very balanced, longevity and performance-based approach to fitness, health and wellness and is very holistic with his approach as well. He's a fascinating person to have share his expertise. http://www.maxwellsc.com/
