027 - Brian Imholz | A Journey through Jiu Jitsu

GraceSEMO: https://graciesemo.com/ [https://graciesemo.com/] On this podcast, I sit down with Brian Imholz a black belt instructor and owner of Gracie Humaitá SEMO. He describes his first enthralling memories of starting jiu-jitsu. While training in Kajukenbo he attended a seminar with JW Wright, and was humbled by him during sparring. This led him to train more seriously and attend a Royler Gracie seminar that changed his view of martial arts. He explains jiu-jitsu as a “gentle/pliable” art enabled by the tap system, contrasting it with striking arts, and emphasizes building a respectful, family-oriented gym culture that prioritizes safety, structure without rigidity, and community. Jiu-jitsu is as real-time problem-solving, mindfulness, and stress relief, with benefits for PTSD and post-college social connection. We discuss self-defense versus sport jiu-jitsu, applications in healthcare and policing for safely controlling people, how Brian manages new students and ego, options like free trial classes and private lessons, gym hygiene and flooring upgrades, and Brian’s progression to a third-degree black belt. 00:00 Jujitsu In The Moment 00:26 First Class Reality Check 03:38 Royler Seminar Spark 04:52 Why Jujitsu Feels Gentle 07:36 Family First Academy Culture 08:25 Mindfulness And Trauma Relief 09:41 Community Across Walks 11:56 Finding The Right School 13:23 Policing Safety And Ego 17:41 Humbling Lessons And Growth 18:46 Self Defense And Equality 20:18 Training Paths Self Defense Vs Tech 20:38 Sport vs Self Defense 21:42 ER Restraint Story 23:27 Jujitsu for Healthcare Police 24:37 Joining the Gym 25:48 Safety Confidence Benefits 28:27 Gym Culture Facilities 30:13 Belt Journey Promotions 33:38 Ranks Kids Women 35:40 Final Advice Sign Off 36:40 Medical Disclaimer #health #jiujitsu #doctor #selfdefense #family #stress

023 - From Goals to Intentions: Using Journaling to Define the Year You Want to Live

My Site: www.drtomrountree.com [http://www.drtomrountree.com] In this conversation, Dr. Tom Rountree discusses the importance of aligning personal goals with one's identity through the use of intentions rather than traditional goal-setting. He emphasizes that many people fail to achieve their goals because they revert to their original identity when faced with challenges. By creating intentions that reflect one's values and identity, individuals can foster a more sustainable approach to personal development. The conversation also highlights the significance of journaling as a tool for self-reflection and maintaining focus on intentions throughout the year. Takeaways Goals are often external and brittle, relying on motivation. Most people revert to their original identity when faced with challenges. Intentions are internal commitments that align with personal values. Writing down intentions increases the likelihood of sticking to them. Journaling helps in stress management and personal habit change. Intentions should be identity-based, simple, and memorable. Creating intentions allows for flexibility in achieving goals. Intentions act as cognitive bridges between wanting to change and enacting change. Regularly reviewing intentions helps maintain focus and alignment. Journaling can reveal patterns and triggers in behavior.
