E099: Irfan Alam - White Belt

Come along to the CELEBRATION OPEN MAT AND GRAND PRIX celebrating 100 episodes of the JIU JITSU LOU Podcast at Rising Tide BJJ in Weston-Super-Mare on Saturday 25th October 2025. SIGN UP HERE: https://fb.me/e/3S7NR2Pv0 Irfan Alam is a White Belt and a Presenter. He brought his energy to post match interviews at Quatrolinhas 2 at The Elgiva Arena in Chesham, UK back in August 2025. Irfan is very open about his ADHD and shares the challenges and joy that he brings to his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey. Focusing on the mind and the body for Jiu Jitsu keeps Irfan growing and developing to be the best in his journey. We can all agree that not training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has a significant negative impact on our mental health, Irfan shares how much it means to him. Reflecting on his presenting career, and asking those 'fan questions' to fighters during the post-match interviews is something that inspires his additional energy. Irfan is also a wildlife and nature photographer which he describes as something that supports the calm in his busy ADHD life. Topics:QuatrolinhasPresentingStrikingUFCGrapplingWanting to be betterADHDMental HealthWildlife photographerResilience GO FOLLOWIrfan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irfanthewild/ Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.louFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jiujitsuloupodcast 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.
