In this episode, I sit down with Jonovan Webb, 3rd degree black belt, UFC and CFFC veteran, and owner of Webb Fitness, who also happens to be the coach who started my Jiu Jitsu journey and helped shape me as both an athlete and a person. We dive deep into gym culture, coaching philosophy, and what it really takes to train hard while minimizing injuries in combat sports.
We talk about managing ego on the mats, training at high pace without unnecessary damage, leg lock safety and evolution, and how coaches can create environments that keep athletes healthy, progressing, and coming back long term.
We also get real about injuries, surgery, and the mental challenges of recovery, and how lessons learned on the mats carry directly into life outside the gym.
