E079: Neil Walker - Purple Belt

What this episode covers

Neil Walker is Purple Belt, has been an avid martial arts fan for years, and started with a Yoga based Kung Fu and MMA, before progressing through Traditional and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Neil shares his story of having not just one, but two heart attacks at a young age. Describing himself as an Enthusiastic Hobbyist is the tone Neil now sets for himself. Being mindful of keeping his heartrate in check and keeping training on the mats for as long as possible. We talk about the importance of Strength and Conditioning as we progress in life, and in Jiu Jitsu. As older grapplers, sometimes our mindset can hold us back in competing, and taking inspiration from our fellow martial artists may well be beneficial. Neil is also the Founder and creator of Submission Searcher, the largest online database of martial arts submissions. So if you want to find your way around your own game, and increase your knowledge of techniques, go and check it out online. Topics:Love of Jiu JitsuHeart AttacksBoundary settingCross TrainingFamily trainingCompetingSubmission Searcher Sponsor of this episode is: Submission Searcher: https://submissionsearcher.com/ Neil on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neil_a_walker/Submission Searcher on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/submissionsearcher/ Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.louFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jiujitsuloupodcastJIU JITSU LOU Merch Collab with BRUIZEHAUS: https://bruizehaus.co.uk/search?q=jiu+jitsu+lou USE DISCOUNT CODE: JJL30 PRODUCTION CREDIT: Kerr Mathieson of Audio OutsourceMUSIC CREDIT:ARTIST: Maleki Ram | TRACK: Just A Little Boy This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
