Ryron Gracie is kind of a big deal.

 

One could even say this week’s Brute Podcast guest has Brazilian jiu-jitsu in his blood, as this legend in the sport also shares ancestry with its original creator, Hélio Gracie (yup, he’s grandfathered in—literally).

 

Listening to Ryron talk, you can tell he is a calm, collected and self-aware individual—all of which he attributes to his experiences training in the sport of jiu-jitsu. For him, it’s more than a sport. It’s a lifestyle. Listen to this week’s episode for a more in-depth look at his beginnings, from a childhood spent growing up practicing jiu-jitsu in his garage to how he’s developed a set of principles that can be applied to multiple disciplines, life included.

 

Topics:

 

11:40 – Childhood

23:10 – Grandfather Hélio/How to deal with stress

33:15 – Disneyland Melon, composure and how to control thoughts/actions

46:45 – Mistakes in jiu-jitsu, myths, learning about yourself

54:30 – Letting go, experiencing

1:01:00 – Key principles of efficiency in jiu-jitsu

1:06:40 – Common mistakes in jiu-jitsu

Welcome to the awakening of functional bodybuilding.

 

Marcus Filly, the founder of Revival Strength, joins the Brute Podcast for a second time to take us to ground zero of functional bodybuilding. Marcus began his health and wellness journey while attending med school but soon realized, through all the long readings and lectures, that his intended path in the field was meant for something more.

 

So he made the decision to say goodbye to med school and find a more fulfilling way to apply his love for health and fitness. Since then, he has competed at the CrossFit Games six times and founded Revival Strength—the leader in functional bodybuilding.

 

In this episode, Marcus enlightens us on what it means to train for longevity, how to find a sustainable training program year-round and what it truly means to look good and move well. So you can close your books, because this episode is all about the application.

 

Topics:

 

15:00 – Ashram and meditation

20:45 – Stepping away from med school

32:00 – Introduction to CrossFit

36:30 – The awakening of functional bodybuilding

51:00 – Looking good and moving well
