On this episode of The Gi Spot Podcast, Rach and Kaz sit down with one of the most exciting young grapplers on the Aussie scene—Jiu Jitsu phenom, purple belt powerhouse, and all-round top bloke, Jayden Davidson.

Jayden isn’t just another competitor—he’s a student of the game, a relentless workhorse, and someone who brings humility, heart, and humour to every mat he steps on. With over 100 matches under his belt (and that belt happens to be a very well-earned purple), Jayden has carved out a reputation as a technical beast with a warrior’s mindset. Whether it’s the local comp circuit or elite shows like Subversion, Jayden shows up ready to scrap and leave it all on the mats.

Fresh off a massive win in the Ultra Heavyweight Division at the Subversion Invitational, Jayden joins us to talk about his mindset going into high-pressure matches, the sacrifices and grind behind the scenes, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a strong team and supportive community.

We also dig into the other side of Jayden—the one outside of the rashie. From juggling training with full-time career, to what keeps him grounded, to how he stays motivated when the going gets tough—this is an episode that shines a light on what it takes to chase greatness while staying true to yourself.

Whether you're a seasoned black belt, a white belt finding your way, or just love a good story, Jayden’s journey will leave you inspired, fired up, and maybe a little sore just thinking about his training schedule.

Tune in, get inspired, and remember—no one rolls solo.
