Patch Boyz x Cyril Smith - Owner Of Aguila Jiu Jitsu | EP.103

Send us a textWe welcome  CJ “Cyril” Smith shares his remarkable journey from Houston's neighborhoods to becoming a respected jiu-jitsu black belt while building one of Midland's most dynamic martial arts schools. Between managing operations at Cintas and teaching nightly classes, he's developed a philosophy that focuses on practical self-defense rather than just competition skills.The conversation takes emotional turns as CJ recounts stories of transformation – from the withdrawn, bullied child who discovered his power through learning takedowns, to women reclaiming their sense of security after trauma. "The first thing I teach them is to shoot a double like wrestling," CJ explains, emphasizing techniques that translate to real-world protection.Beyond martial arts, CJ offers wisdom about personal growth applicable to everyone: the power of small, consistent steps toward goals, finding purpose through serving others, and creating community in unexpected places. His school has grown from humble beginnings in his garage to serving students, with international competition success that makes Midland surprisingly prominent in global jiu-jitsu.This conversation delivers powerful insights about resilience, purpose, and the impact one person can have on an entire community.Cyril Links: https://www.instagram.com/cyriljeff?igsh=MWc2YTh0NWhlczVjbQ==https://www.instagram.com/aguila.jiujitsu?igsh=MW9jMGsyeHJtcnY5dA==https://www.facebook.com/share/16SpBWZLMc/?mibextid=wwXIfr Aguila Jiu Jitsu: 4313 W Illinois Ave Suite A and B, Midland, TX 79703Sponsors:Underdog Wireline Services  432-247-1033Completion :Horizontal / Vertical PerforatingAddressable / EB SwitchesRadial Cement Bond Logging10k & 5k PCS / Rig Lock40-50 Ton CranesPipe Recovery :Free Point, Jet & Chemical CutsTemperature Logging, Back Off / Drill Pipe / Casing Tubing Well Head Shot,Coil Tubing,TCP Cutting,Well Intervention Logging / Stuck PipeProduction:Packer / CIBP / ESP CatcherMulti-Finger Caliper, Temperature Logging,Cement / Acid / Sand BailingGamma PerforatingJunk Basket / Gauge Ring                              BRANDED 14 HOT SHOT SERVICE, LLC:                                                          Contact Number: 432-638-1755 Email:[email protected]                 Any Hot Shot Work, ESP spooling, ESP Technician service & Heavy Hauling W/Semis                                                                             Titan Sales & Services:                                                                     Contact: 432-307-1960                                                                                    Services: Rostabout, Portapottys, Trash Trailers, ComboTrailers & Forklift
