Josh Richards | A last second weight cut for ADCC trials

In this podcast episode, we sit down with Joshua Richards, a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt from New York City. What makes this conversation unique is the story of Joshua's last-minute preparations for the ADCC trials, which we undertook together. Just a week before the trials, Joshua reached out, and we had to navigate a challenging, time-pressed situation. This resulted in a less-than-ideal weight cut. In the podcast, we take a deep dive into the details of his experience. A crucial aspect of this episode is the discussion around weight cutting, a delicate topic in sports. We want to stress the importance of not attempting weight cuts independently and always relying on the assistance of professionals. Cutting weight, regardless of the support, carries inherent risks, which we want our listeners to be aware of.
