The Part Time Grappler Podcast
by Liam Wandi
I, Liam Wandi, have been writing The Part Time Grappler Blog for a few years now, which is more than I ever anticipated. I initially started it as a platform for me to both jot down a few ideas on how I think Part Time Grapplers need to tailor their training and also show others in the same boat that we are indeed the majority of Grapplers out there. Today, the blog has become a huge success that has allowed me to interview the greats of the sport and learn their grappling- and time management secrets. Let's listen to what they have to say.

BJJ Private lessons? Ask These Questions First!
One of the best things that separates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from just about every other sport on the planet is that its top instructors and competitors are (often) accessible to the general public. You can schedule a private lesson with just about anyone, even at a pretty reasonable cost. Private...

How many times will you spar before reaching the black belt?
Being a numbers guy, I thought I'd investigate the general parameters of the following question: "How many Jiujitsu sparring rounds has the average black belt participated in?" As you can imagine, the variables are many but, as with many of these questions, not as many as you'd think. Human…

Why I do these podcasts
Why do I do these podcasts? Simply put, because I want to get even better at communicating my ideas and thoughts. As a teacher, it's kinda important. The other reason is because putting my thoughts out there for all to see (hear) scares me a little (a lot) and I don't like (I hate) being scared...

Part Time Grappler Podcast Episode 3: Trust me...Move your hips!
Today’s podcast is not about any technique or strategy in particular. Not too long ago I was at the lunch time session at the HQ academy (http://ekbjj.com/) and professor Kone was busy giving some instructions to the group of dedicated grapplers that were still on the mat at way past the end of…

Part Time Grappler Podcast Episode 2: How to problem-solve better in jiujitsu using "Re-framing & Re-phrasing"
In this episode, I reminisce (is that really how you spell it?) about a lesson I learnt back in year 9 or 10 English and link it to both a university course I did on Communication but also a very recent seminar by EGJJF (www.egjjf.com) representative and Rickson Gracie black belt Mr Michel...

Part Time Grappler Podcast Episode 1: How it all started, and how many times can I say "podcast"?
Well after years of hesitation, I decided to start a podcast. In this episode I introduce the podcast then spend a few minutes sharing how I came into the world of grappling and jiujitsu (literally by mistake!). It's a short one and while I imagine future podcasts will be somewhat longer, I can't...
