Ep. 18 James Peterson: Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Co-Owner of the Fox Valley Grappling Club and Student of Thiago Veiga and Luiz Claudio
In today’s interview we get to sit down with one of the co-owners of the Mixed Martial Arts gym, The Fox Valley Grappling Club, where I used to practice Jiu Jitsu. James and I will discuss:
– How failing at a business that is not your passion could be the opportunity for you to start a business you are passionate about
– How James went from graduating with a degree in Fine Arts to co-owning his own Mixed Martial Arts gym called Fox Valley Grappling Club in Appleton, WI
– What it is like training with BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitus) world champions Thiago Veiga and Luiz Claudio (who trained under Rickson Gracie, whom many call the “Michael Jordan of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu”)
– How martial arts could be the answer to your issues with stress, self-confidence, weight, and so much more
– The difference between Inspiration and Desperation
– What it will feel like when YOU are living your passion and your dream
– Why if you are in the Appleton, Wisconsin area you NEED to get your butt down to the Fox Valley Grappling club for some world class training
