Explicit content warning
11/01/22 • 71 min
Today we are joined by Sergio Hernandez. Sergio is a black belt under Baret Yoshida in beautiful sunny San Diego. Sergio is currently a full-time tattooer and owns a tattoo shop. In the jiu-jitsu community, Sergio is known for the innovative guard he created called Sergio Guard and his incredible flexibility.
In our conversation, we discuss Sergio's journey, training for longevity, training in the gi and no-gi, the relation between tattooing and BJJ, and much more.
Sergio is an incredible person to converse with. When talking with us, he would often pause and think before giving an answer he didn't fully believe in each word. Even at times, you can see and hear the carefulness in his answers. Sergio is down to earth and inspiring for anyone who wants to continue to train and compete into their 40s.

Laurenz Pakter: Keep Showing Up
Laurenz is currently a purple belt and the creative director for Hyperfly. He has been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2009. Laurenz's parents started Hyperfly after putting him and his brother in BJJ to keep them busy.
Laurenz is very open and honest about his journey in jiu-jitsu. Working in the industry and being a practitioner has made him look at training differently than most. It is always great talking to someone with a story similar to the average person's. We have day jobs, families, and other hobbies that are a particular priority in our lives besides training.
In this conversation, we talk about Laurenz's BJJ journey, how Hyperfly was started, earning his blue belt twice, having a love-hate relationship with jiu-jitsu, and more.
