23. Don’t Run, Face Your Battles With Gui Valente



Jiu Jitsu teaches you that you shouldn’t avoid or hide from bad positions, or fight at all costs to avoid a bad position. 

Because one day, someone will put you in that position and it’s important that you’re prepared to deal with that.

In this episode, Lonnie Ogulnick speaks with Gui Valente, Jiu Jitsu instructor at Valente Brothers, about how his Jiu Jitsu journey began, how he was challenged growing up, and the growth of his positive mindset by being a Jiu Jitsu instructor.

Gui discusses:

  • What made him specialize in striking
  • What his childhood was like growing up in Brazil as the middle child
  • His advice of how to deal with stress in today’s society
  • A story of how his father gave him the mentality to not give up
  • And more
