Author: Memorial Brazilian Jiu Jitsu September 9, 2019 Duration: 36:43
Jackson and Rafael dedicated this podcast episode to one of our student that passed away. We don’t know the whole details but for what we understand, he suffered from anxiety. We wanted to give you a bit of our experience with anxiety and some things that we found researching about the subject. Hopefully it helps, let us know what you think. Thanks for listening.

The Fortunato Jiu Jitsu Podcast is hosted by Rafael and Jackson from Memorial Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The name itself, meaning 'lucky' in Italian, frames their conversations-a reflection on the gratitude and perspective forged through their own journeys as immigrants. They discuss moving from places of limitation to building a life of choice, emphasizing how acknowledging our blessings is the first step toward achieving what we want. This foundational mindset directly connects to the physical and mental practices they explore in each episode. Their dialogue naturally weaves between the mats and daily life, covering the intricate techniques and philosophies of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, practical approaches to health and fitness, and the ongoing pursuit of happiness. It’s a podcast built on the idea that the discipline, resilience, and community found in jiu-jitsu are powerful tools for crafting a better life. Listeners will hear two friends drawing from their unique experiences, discussing how the lessons learned in training apply far beyond the gym, aiming to inspire others to make the most of their own opportunities. The tone is conversational and grounded, offering a blend of personal reflection and actionable insight for anyone interested in the deeper connections between physical art, well-being, and personal growth.
