In this episode, we're joined once again by Giles Garcia, head coach of Ronin Grappling in Glasgow, to tackle the complex topic of living your values in Jiu-Jitsu. Giles explores the challenges coaches and students face when trying to uphold personal and gym-wide values, especially in situations involving discrimination, safety, and accountability. Giles shares candid experiences from his own gym, emphasizing the importance of fostering a culture rooted in inclusion, respect, and trust. Giles dives into how values must be enforced consistently, even when it’s uncomfortable or financially inconvenient, and how both coaches and students have the power—and responsibility—to speak up when those values are threatened.Follow Giles on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/el_guancheTrain with Giles at Ronin Grappling in Glasgow:https://roningrappling.com/Learn online with Giles at BJJ Codex:https://www.bjjcodex.com/Mental models discussed in this episode:Normalizationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/normalization/First Principleshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/first-principles/The Golden Rulehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/golden-rule/Precommitmentshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/precommitments/Paradox of Tolerancehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/paradox-of-tolerance/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.
