"Survive first, win later" was one of the very first pieces of advice I ever received in jiu-jitsu. It helped me then and it still helps me now, both on and off the mat. I hope this mentality helps you too!

And just a quick reminder that a rating or a review of the podcast is the easiest thing you can do to help out, so thank you for that in advance.

Good luck with your training,

Stephan Kesting
