  • Summary

  • In this episode of The GI Spot, Kaz and Rach take a walk down memory lane—and straight onto the mats—reminiscing about the people who left a lasting impression on their Jiu Jitsu journeys. From the coaches who pushed them (sometimes literally), to the training partners who became unexpected mentors, to the silent supporters who showed up in the background—this episode is a love letter to the tribe that helped shape them into the grapplers (and humans) they are today.

    They unpack the lessons that stuck, the words that motivated, and the small moments that became big milestones. Whether it was a training room pep talk, a brutal roll that sparked growth, or an offhand comment that lit a fire—these are the stories that remind us how much of Jiu Jitsu is about connection, not just technique.

    If you've ever had someone in your corner—on or off the mats—this one’s for you.
