E114: Leigh Ibberson - Purple Belt

Leigh Ibberson has recently been promoted to Purple Belt and his BJJ career is looking at a very exciting over the coming year. Leigh is the owner and founder of Shaftesbury Submission Grappling based in a small town in Dorset, UK. Leigh was inspired by the Joe Rogan Experience to start training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu some years ago, and continues to listen to great podcasts, including the Jiu Jitsu Lou Podcast. Facing the fear and doing it anyway is a life philosophy of Leigh's. This includes climbing Snowdon, in bare foot shoes with a 50kg backpack. Leigh speaks about his competition experience at White Belt and goes on to speak about the Super Fights he has coming up in 2026. Topics:Purple Belt PromotionShaftesbury Submission GrapplingHelping othersJoe Rogan ExperienceBig ChallengesFear vs FailureCompeting at White BeltCompetitive SpiritUltra AthleteFriday Night TrainingCoastal Combat LeagueADCC DenmarkGrappleFest Prelims GO FOLLOWLeigh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leigh_ibberson/ Sponsor of this episode is: Fortitude Official: https://www.instagram.com/official.fortitude.bjj/ Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLouClips on TikTok and Instagram TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jiu.jitsu.louInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.lou A UK BJJ Podcast hosted by Lou Temlett @jiu.jitsu.lou 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.
