Jiu Jitsu Fieldnotes

Jiu Jitsu Fieldnotes is a podcast about what really happens on the mats. Rooted in the community at Roger Gracie Academy Marlow — one of the UK's most respected BJJ academies — this show captures the stories, lessons, and quiet transformations that happen through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Not just the techniques, but the people behind them. Each episode explores the personal side of training. The friendships forged through shared struggle. The setbacks that force growth. The moments where something clicks — physically, mentally, or emotionally — and changes how you see yourself. Because Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn't just good for the body. It builds resilience, sharpens focus, and has a way of quietly sorting out your head too. This isn't a podcast about champions or highlight reels. It's about the everyday practitioners. The early mornings. The injuries. The small victories. The long road from confusion to clarity. Whether you're a white belt stepping onto the mats for the first time or a black belt who's spent decades refining your craft, these are the stories that connect everyone who trains. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn't just something you do. It's something you live. These are the field notes. 🥋 Find us at Roger Gracie Academy Marlow: https://rgamarlow.com/
