E072: Andy Chapman - Black Belt
April 12, 2025 · 37 min

Andy Chapman is a Black Belt and trains twice a day every day, and this has been the same for the last 10 years. Andy shares his competition mindset, and also the business growth of Team Ryano Limavady in Northern Ireland.

 

Andy talks with compassion for bringing BJJ hobbyists along with the club, and the importance of making everyone feel the energy where they feel welcome and wish to stay, and continue their own journey for a long time.

 

Finding similar grade, weight and age competitors to yourself, really offers the opportunity to progress with relative ease. Andy shares some great stories of individuals in his team. We talk of some useful analogies, that may well help with your mindset and thinking.
