The Eagle's Nest - Episode 7: Competing (BJJ + Martial Arts Competition Stories)

In this episode of The Eagle’s Nest, we talk competition, why we do it, what it teaches you, and what it’s really like stepping onto the mats when it counts. Cameron shares his limited but meaningful BJJ competition experience and what it’s taught him so far, while Alex breaks down his much longer competition history  from his early days as a colour belt through to competing as a black belt. We also touch on Alex’s earlier Hapkido demonstration competitions and what those experiences added to his martial arts journey. If you’ve ever competed, are thinking about competing, or just want an honest look into the mindset and realities of it, this episode is for you.
