No Natural Talent Ep. 53 "Daniel"

No Natural Talent Ep. 56 Rest Round "Ascension Tattoo Crew-Chris, Brandon, Wade, Vesper"

Adult language. Adult conversations. Childish behavior. Rest Round with the folks who train jiujitsu at Ascension Tattoo and it's exactly as chaotic as you'd expect. We talk about jiu-jitsu. We talk about a lot of things that aren't jiu-jitsu. There are interruptions, side quests, rabbit trails, tattoo machines, overlapping conversations, and several moments where nobody is steering the ship. If you've ever hung around a tattoo shop after hours and somehow ended up in a conversation about life, training, and complete nonsense, you'll feel right at home. This is the Jiujitsu/Tattoo Ascension Crew.

No Natural Talent Ep. 55 What's Going On Here?! with Kristin

We're back with What's Going On Here?! For those who haven't met her yet, she's our resident physical therapist, body mechanic, movement detective, and physiology deep-diver extraordinaire. Every time she comes on the podcast, I learn something new about why our bodies do the strange things they do—and more importantly, what we can do about it. In today's episode, we're talking all things back pain related, why it happens, what might be contributing to it, and some practical things you can do to help your body move and feel better. Whether you're training jiu-jitsu, working at a desk, chasing kids, or just wondering why your back decided to file a complaint with management, this one's for you. This is "What's going on here?!" with Kristin.

No Natural Talent Ep. 54 "Rick"

A blue belt in law enforcement who understands the value of training both on and off the mats. Having faced deeply challenging situations on the job, Jiujitsu became more than a hobby — it became a lifeline for healing, community, support, and camaraderie. Thoughtful, steady, and resilient, he kept showing up even through a knee replacement, spending time on the sidelines when he couldn't train. And when getting there became difficult, his Jiujitsu family made sure he was still part of the group — a reminder that none of us are meant to do this alone. This is Rick.

No Natural Talent Ep. 53 "Daniel"

A purple belt, world traveler, and talented videographer who has worked with some of the top names in the MMA world. He originally stepped into Jiujitsu thinking his focus would stay on Muay Thai and striking, but over the years the art slowly won him over. Injuries tempered his ego and reshaped the way he trains...with patience, intention, and longevity in mind. Calm on the mats and deeply thoughtful in life, he’s someone who experiences the world with purpose. This is Daniel.

No Natural Talent Ep. 52 Off the Cuff with Shanti and Wes, Part 2

Rest Round with Shanti and Wes. The conversation bounces between cults, influencers, cocktails, Shark Tanks, the “first choke” from your professors… and a whole lot of Jiujitsu. This one goes everywhere in the best way. No agenda, just conversation that’s honest, unfiltered, and definitely off the cuff.
