Throwin Down With Andy And Ricardo

TDWA Episode 36 with Clinical Psychologist and BJJ Purple Belt Dennis Proffit   Our guest for this episode of the podcast is Dennis Proffit.  Dennis is a clinical psychologist and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt.  We discuss many things but, the highlight/main theme of the show is pre-competition nerves.  Dennis explains the physiological changes that occur when the body reacts to the "Fight or Flight" response and reviews some of the techniques that we can incorporate to combat our competition jitters. Professor Ricardo was unable to join us for this episode, but never fear, he'll be back. Thank you to our sponsors Da Firma Kimono Company and Menehune Soaps for their continued support.
