Why 90% Quit:The Brutal Truth of BJJ & The Art of Emotional Stealth

Join me as I sit down with Conrad Spangler at Renzo Gracie Houston. At 51, Conrad is a force to be reckoned with in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). Having just ascended to the brown belt rank after topping the purple belt category in his division at the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF), he's poised for yet another victorious climb. In this candid conversation, Conrad unravels his competition mindset, reflects on his wrestling past, and reveals his secrets to maintaining a phenomenal physique approaching 52. He also delves into why most newcomers struggle to stick with the grueling discipline of jiu jitsu. If you're a BJJ enthusiast seeking insights on how competition can fuel your self-growth, this interview is a must-watch. As a BJJ purple belt myself, I'm on a constant quest to reclaim the mindset and the relentless drive I possessed as a high school student that led to my walk-on spot at a D1 school.
