No Natural Talent Ep. 9 "Chris" 25.07.2025 1:40:56
He is formidable, happy, and just the right amount of "scary" — a beast on the mat with a coach’s heart and a passport full of stamps. He's not afraid to tap you while rocking a pink Gi. This is Chris
No Natural Talent Ep. 8 "Zach" 18.07.2025 1:17:54
A gruff smart-ass with a great sense of humor and perseverance you can’t fake. He’s not flashy, he’s steady… Showing up, grinding it out, one day at a time. A tribute to grit, sarcasm, and sticking with it. This is Zach.
No Natural Talent Ep. 7 "Rusty" 11.07.2025 1:30:56
He shows up with intensity and tenacity, but it’s his huge heart for the gym and its people that really defines him. He helps everyone around him, and he loves getting intellectual about Jiujitsu — always thinking, always growing. This is Rusty.
No Natural Talent Ep. 6 "David" 04.07.2025 1:10:29
Training for the joy, not the glory. Years in, and he still shows up smiling, and that's what makes him dangerous. This is David.
No Natural Talent Ep. 5 "Brynden" 27.06.2025 1:11:40
Quiet but driven, facing his demons with grit instead of words. This episode is about silent strength and the battles no one sees. This is Brynden.
No Natural Talent Ep. 4 "Ismenia" 20.06.2025 1:34:12
Don't let her cute size, contagious laugh and generous heart fool you...she's a force to be reckoned with on the mat. This is Ismenia.
No Natural Talent Ep. 3 "Wade" 12.06.2025 55:32
He's humble, fiercely loyal, and tougher than most- a chill bad ass with a past and a purpose. This is Wade.
No Natural Talent Ep. 2 "Nick" 06.06.2025 1:02:21
He showed up, hated it...and came back anyway. Where is he now? He's still here. Still rolling...and he's a brown belt. This is Nick, the kind of story that reminds you why its worth it.
No Natural Talent Ep. 1 "Shanti" 30.05.2025 34:35
What led me to jujitsu, what keeps me in jiujitsu, why you should do jiujitsu!
