Chad Kuhn: 40+ Years on the Mats, Building Limitless Jiu Jitsu

This week on Chokeholds & Chill, we sit down with Chad Kuhn — 2nd degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, lifelong martial artist, gym owner, and the man behind Limitless Tape.   Chad’s journey in martial arts started in 1982 at just 7 years old, and over four decades later, he’s still showing up — training, teaching, and evolving. From earning his black belt under James Clingerman to leading as Head Instructor at East Coast Martial Arts, Chad brings a level of experience that only comes from a lifetime on the mats.   In this episode, we talk about:   • What it takes to stay in jiu jitsu for the long haul • The evolution of training from the early days to now • Balancing coaching, running a gym, and building a business • Why longevity matters more than hype • And how Limitless Tape was built by someone who actually understands what grapplers need   This conversation is about more than just jiu jitsu — it’s about consistency, discipline, and continuing to show up year after year.   If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to stay in this sport for decades, this episode is for you.   ⸻   Thank You to Our Sponsors   🥋 2026 Roll Model Women’s Only Grappling Camp Indy Base Camp | July 10–12, 2026 | Indianapolis, IN www.rollmodelswanted.com Use code CHOKE50 for $50 off registration   🌿 MilUsos Skincare Built for athletes who train hard and take care of their skin https://milusosskincare.com @milusos_skincare   🩹 Limitless Tape High-performance tape designed by grapplers, for grapplers @limitless_tape Use code CHOKEHOLD at checkout: https://limitlesstape.square.site/s/shop     Guest: Chad Kuhn Hosts: Jenn & Mallory Podcast: Chokeholds & Chill Sponsors: Mil Usos Skincare & Limitless Tape
