Thomas Rozdzynski - Your Belt Isn't a Measure of Your Skill
Elbows Tight Podcast: The Beginners Journey Through Jiu-Jitsu
11/11/21 • 89 min
Thomas Rozdzynski is a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a black belt in Judo, he owns the ROL Academy, and is the host of The ROL Radio podcast.
Thomas started his BJJ journey in the early 2000s when his boss, a blue belt, kept bugging him every day to join the academy. Thomas's first school was under the legendary Grandmaster Carlson Gracie Sr.
When first starting in jiu-jitsu, Thomas was told multiple times that he would never be a black belt. Multiple people told him it was because he was not tough enough, flexible enough, or skilled enough to obtain such a prestigious award. Thomas would eventually earn his blue belt under Grandmaster Carlson Sr. right before his passing.
Thomas speaks highly of the life-changing events that came from starting jiu-jitsu. He lost 70 pounds, became more confident, and now is a third-degree blackbelt despite those early in his journey telling him it wouldn't happen.
Thomas is a wealth of knowledge and makes you stop and think about viewing your journey. His insight into belt promotions, how to promote, what your belt means, and mindset still has us contemplating ways to improve our own midset.
Anyone at any skill/belt level will find value in what Thomas shares in this episode, especially if you are starting your journey.

Kieren Lefevre: Getting Strong and Eating Right for Jiu-Jitsu
Elbows Tight Podcast: The Beginners Journey Through Jiu-Jitsu
12/05/22 • 60 min
We are joined by Kieren Lefevre and BJJ Blue belt, YouTuber, personal coach for jiu-jitsu practitioners, and Cohost of Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast.
Kieren is very personable and easy to talk with. In Kieren's answers, he gives a deep sense of understanding and authority in the strength and conditioning, and nutrition for BJJ practitioners, but he breaks it down so that it is consumable by the masses.
Kieren's journey into jiu-jitsu is like many of ours and is very relatable. He was hesitant to join, thought he would be better than he was, and was instantly bit by the BJJ bug. In our conversation, we discuss his competing journey, the best exercises and equipment for BJJ S&C, the difference between normal lifting and sport-specific training, nutrition for BJJ athletes, how to cut weight for competition properly, best supplements for BJJ, and much more.
This conversation is an incredible source of information for everyone. Grab a pen and paper, sit down for a while, and enjoy the feast of knowledge.
