Emily Eyles joins the show for a second time after her first appearance in November 2023. She is now a Black Belt, recently promoted under Pedro Bessa. Emily has always been an avid traveler and competes all over the world. She talks about the cost of competing and inspires the rest of us to compete in Europe, especially if we're based near an airport.

Since becoming a Black Belt, Emily shares how much more Zen she is feeling, and also shares advice about being more specific and assertive in our own training strategies. Congratulations to Emily on her recent engaged to a fellow Jiu Jitsu athlete and Black Belt, William Timmis.

Thank you so much for listening to the podcast over the last 12 months. This episode is a reflection on my jiu jitsu journey over the last year, what worked well and what didn't.

Mindlessly taking actions in life, particularly attending jiu jitsu sessions, and recording these jiu jitsu podcast episodes means that I have made significant progress.

I will be actively embracing my new found values of FIRE, PASSION and FREEDOM within my jiu jitsu game and also my business to continue to build a wholehearted community and much more progress.

Thank you all for your ongoing support, lets connect in 2026!
