In this episode, I chat with Jaclyn Wasyluk, a BJJ purple belt, long-time strength coach, and co-founder of Kaliber Health. Jaclyn shares her journey into personal training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and how those paths eventually led her to building an online coaching business. We unpack current trends and common myths in strength training for grapplers, what athletes often get wrong, and what actually supports long-term progress. Equal parts informative and fun, this episode taps into Jaclyn’s deep well of experience, offering practical insights, honest reflection, and plenty of takeaways for anyone looking to train smarter and more sustainably.Special thanks to Jordan Hollingsworth who helps me with the technical side of things

In this episode, Savannah Doss, instructor-certified through Gracie University and active community member at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Virginia Beach, shares her passion for spreading jiu-jitsu both on and offline. We dive into what it means to teach with empathy, the lessons learned from filming her own training, and how social media can be a bridge for connection rather than comparison. Savannah opens up about overcoming challenges, staying consistent, and how the Gracie philosophy of self-defense shapes everything she does.

Whether you’re seasoned or just starting out, this conversation will remind you that progress isn’t just about belts, it’s about showing up, growing, and helping others along the way.

In this inspiring conversation I sit down with Shylo as she shares how she has built confidence, resilience, and community through Jiu jitsu. From SBG Portland, where she earned her purple belt under Matt Thornton, to SBG Montana with Travis Davison and Leah Stumpf, Shylo embodies the Straight Blast Gym philosophy: making good people dangerous to bad people. Her mission is to welcome more women to the mats, creating safe spaces for mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. She believes the pressure we endure in training prepares us for the pressures of life.
