BONUS EPP- Professor Leo (Pronouncing things like a Brazilian)
In this episode, Emily sits down with her professor, Leo, for a fun and insightful conversation that blends history, culture, and a whole lot of personality. Leo shares pieces of his background, his journey from Brazil to teaching jiu-jitsu in the U.S., and the deeper meaning behind the art he brings to the mats every day. Plus, he helps clear up some of the most commonly mispronounced Portuguese terms in BJJ — with plenty of humor and patience.
A light, warm, and informative episode that highlights the heart behind the techniques and the people who carry the tradition forward.
