A viral clip from an in-house tourney set my feed on fire. Hot takes, pile-ons, even people calling someone’s employer. At the same time, coaches with big followings were green-screening each other for clicks instead of helping athletes. In this episode, I share why I’m doubling down on a different path: serving working pros who compete, with evide…

A Letter: What Do You Want To Work On? It seems strange once you're on the other side of it, but the epiphany, shall we say, that what you learn in jiu-jitsu and how well you learn in is as much if not more your responsibility than it is your instructors.

Some Grapplers Are Not Built for This 11:42

11:42

Today I dig into the gap between what we say we want (win tournaments, get pain-free, get stronger) and what we’re actually willing to do daily. Most athletes obsess over the finish line and ignore the boring, consistent work—sleep, nutrition, S&C, rehab minutes, intentional mat time—that creates those results. Quick fixes and random DMs won’t move…

In this episode of the Pain, Performance & Porrada Podcast, I lay out why the traditional, insurance-driven PT model fails combat athletes—and what the modern, tech-enabled, human model looks like. The old setup (2–3 in-clinic visits/week, 15 minutes with the PT, a stack of generic exercises, hot/cold packs and ultrasound) confuses “time in clinic”…
