Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by Black Belt Digital Marketing and AcademySafe.org

In this episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Dummies Podcast, we sit down with 3rd-degree Black Belt, author, and philosopher of the mats, Scott Burr.

Scott is the co-author of the highly acclaimed book Lessons from the Mat (with Benjamin Chen), which explores the 12 martial arts principles that translate directly into business and life success. But Scott’s work behind the scenes of Jiu-Jitsu literature goes even deeper. We dive into:

• Writing with Legends: Scott shares insights into his current high-profile book projects with two of the most iconic figures in the art: Rickson Gracie and "Dirty Dozen" member Chris Haueter.

• Worth Defending: We revisit his collaboration with Richard Bresler, the man widely considered the first student of BJJ in America.

• The Creative Process: How do you capture the "invisible" concepts of Rickson or the unique, artistic philosophy of Haueter and put them into words?

Whether you are a white belt just starting or a black belt looking for deeper conceptual understanding, Scott’s perspective on the history and future of BJJ is invaluable.

Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by Black Belt Digital Marketing and AcademySafe.org

This week we are honored to sit down with two leaders who are bridging the gap between the mats and the thin blue line: Sgt. Wade Powers and Major John Bailey of the Gwinnett County Police Department.

In this deep-dive conversation, we explore the "how" behind the headlines. Wade and John share the journey of successfully launching a Jiu-Jitsu program within a major police department, detailing the hurdles and the wins of getting a BJJ-based curriculum approved.

We discuss their unique roles as coaches, both within the police academy for new recruits and on the continuing education side for veteran officers. Whether you are interested in the evolution of defensive tactics, the mindset required to lead a department-wide training shift, or how BJJ is literally changing the face of law enforcement safety, this episode is a must-listen.
