Kieran explains being selected to help Canada win medals, coming fresh off IBJJF No-Gi Euros in Rome, and why he shifted from gi to no-gi after his Black Belt. (Due to narrow-margin matches, body wear / tear and lockdown training that pushed him into studying leg locks for hours daily) Kieran describes his submission-focused philosophy, notes Europe’s rapidly rising no-gi level, fast-shifting meta, and compares IBJJF, JJIF and ADCC rules. He discusses training at B-Team versus structured gyms, self-coaching, hybrid ecological training, class structure, athlete development, weight-cut mistakes, and closes with rapid-fire questions, future plans to open a club and what his Black Belt meant to him.Timestamps-----------------------------0:00 Sponsor Shoutouts1:34 Guest introduction: Kieran Kichuk2:09 Canadian National Team Selection2:46 No-gi Euros & Travel3:58 Jiu-Jitsu Origins5:52 Kieran's Gi to No-gi Shift8:00 Kieran's 'Submission First' Style8:42 Europe's No-gi Meta10:09 JJIF National Team Ruleset10:36 Myanmar & Politics16:04 JJIF vs IBJJF18:18 B-Team Training20:20 Self Coaching System23:13 Travel in Nepal & Bhutan25:32 Impressions of Nepal's BJJ 27:51 Phuket's Gym Boom29:13 Coaches & Business32:53 Coaching Workload Limits35:47 Teaching Gi Without Passion36:20 Warmups Wrestling Focus36:48 Games Before Technique37:57 Hybrid Training Debate41:01 Building Better Games43:20 Coaching Versus Competing45:43 Global Jiu-Jitsu Growth46:58 Future of Professional Jiu Jitsu50:32 Weight Cuts Hydration57:31 Events, Meta & Advice59:29 Rapid Fire Gym Red Flags1:03:39 Gratitude-----------------------------===========================Here are the ways to work with us here at Grapple Asia: ===========================⚡️For Support inquires, or Business inquiries, please email ➡︎ mac@grappleasia.com#BJJ #JiuJitsu #nogi #GRAPPLING #podcasting #podcast #nogi #grappler #brazilianjiujitsu #bjjlifestyle #grappleasia #grappleasiapodcast #grappleasiapod #justforcreators #modalbkk #bjjfanatics #falsreap #bteamjiujitsu
