JJA IRL Weekend – Dec 6–7, 2025 | Newport Beach, CA: https://kendallreusing.com/events

In this special live episode of Get A Grip, I sit down with over 200 incredible women at the Alchemize Women’s Grappling Fest in Los Angeles, California for a powerful Q&A following my seminar.

We dive deep into some of the most important topics every Jiu Jitsu athlete faces… from competition mindset and daily routines, to developing confidence after a new belt promotion, training with intention to improve faster, and how to stay mentally strong through injuries.

I also open up about working with other mindset coaches, what it really takes to train like a champion, and the importance of community in women’s Jiu Jitsu.

Whether you’re a white belt just starting out or a seasoned black belt chasing your next goal, this conversation will help you refocus, and reignite your belief in yourself.

Guyssss I’m obsessed with this interview! 🤩 I grabbed these two legends for a Q&A — live at Jiu-Jitsu Con, and it’s one of my favorites of all time.

This episode of Get A Grip brings together Rafael Lovato Jr. and Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida (two of the most accomplished and respected athletes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu history)…

for a rare, open conversation about what it really takes to perform at the highest level.

We dive into everything from competition-day rituals to the mindset behind chasing greatness over decades on the mats.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

⚔️ How Lovato and Buchecha mentally and physically prepare for competition day

🧠 The toughest matches they’ve ever faced — and how they handled the pressure

💪🏼 Their advice for handling fatigue, adrenaline, and recovery

🏆 What it actually feels like to achieve your championship dream again and again

☕️ Their top coffee picks (yes, this is crucial intel 😂)

🕰 Tips for longevity and thriving in Jiu-Jitsu well into your 50s and beyond

It’s a rare look into the minds of two champions who’ve not only built legacy, but continue to redefine it.

If you love hearing the why and how behind greatness, this one’s for you.

Episode 40 is another fun one, because it was recorded on site at my Jiu-Jitsu Con booth with questions from YOU! 😍 I'd never done this before, but I had folks from all walks of life come by the booth and hop on the mic (including some really high level youth competitors 🕺)... and we went deep into allll things (especially mindset).

I hope you enjoy this live q&a with the extra special guests. Please share this episode with a friend who might like it, too.
