Welcome back to 40 & Fighting, the podcast where we talk about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, life on the mats, competition, and the realities of training as adults balancing work, family, and the grind of getting better. In Episode 125, we keep it real and have some fun catching up after missing an episode. We talk about what's been going on in our jiu-jitsu lives, the chaos that sometimes comes with trying to stay consistent with training, and why sometimes life just gets in the way.
