#immigration #undocumented #compassion In Part II of my Immigration Series, I ask all liberals and conservative voters to expand their thought process, understanding that not all undocumented immigrants are good and that not all immigrants are bad. When liberals embrace this extreme sudden change in the stance of the DNC in regards of Immigration, they not only hurt our cause badly but also feed the anger from the other extreme side that refuses to understand that the majority of undocumented people are good hard-working fellows, that pay taxes, don’t collect benefits, etc. I urge both sides to not fall for narratives that are forced upon voters because politicians know exactly how to trigger each group's emotions. In special Liberals. Please do your homework. All I present are facts. The DNC was vehemently against illegal immigration up to not so long ago. Why the sudden change? Because they know how to touch the good hearts and how to trigger the more compassionate. It is all a political stunt. Regardless of who you vote for, don’t jump into conclusions. Both sides. Think for yourself.

#stayhome #opentheusa #covid19 In this episode, I shared my personal opinion on how the #stayhome trend can be extremely inconsiderate towards low-income people. Unfortunately, some ideologies have been pushing an agenda that doesn't fit our real life. For so many, the concern many small business owners have is an act of selfishness. Well, it is not. The most common argument is that the whole world has to stay home to save lives, but who can really just stay home? Are we all collecting unemployment, or collecting enough to feed our families? There is a HUGE array of people from different walks of life that simply need to work to provide to their families. For many leftists, the embracement of the same pre-constructed phrases is simply scary: "Oh they want to re-open the economy because of the pressure from investors, the wealthy, and shareholders. They are afraid of losing money...." There is a truth to that, but the majority of the people asking for answers and for solutions to warm up the economy again, are those that need to re-open their businesses (considering guidelines and precautions), immigrants looking for jobs, low-income families, etc. Who is the 1% now? In fact, those that shame who has been trying to feed their families or not lose their small businesses.

#podcast #immigration #thefightteampodcast #thegreymatterproject #LuigiMondelli #visa  INDEX 01:05 - What is The Grey Matter Project 08:05 - 4 Categories Of Immigration Status 35:50 - Breakdown of Different Visas (Non Immigrants and Immigrants) This is the first episode of The Grey Matter Project. This project is an initiative to promote positive and balanced discussions about many different issues related to our lives today. My effort here is to help people look for a broader approach to the analysis of critical trends that many ideologies and politicians have been pushing onto society as a way to divide nations and people. I want to promote what I am calling "mental flexibility". I believe in the Individual. I believe in equal rights for every and each individual without promoting group identities that as we have been seeing has been splitting our societies in extreme polarized ends. In this first episode of the Immigration series, I go over the 4 categories of Immigration Status in the USA. Also, I break down briefly the many different types of visas. DISCLAIMER: I am not an attorney, lawyer, nor I am giving any legal advice whatsoever. In this video, I share my own findings from different sources linked below. Please, if you have any questions about Immigration consult with a lawyer. Laws can change at any time, as well as visas, statuses, etc. I suggest always for everyone to check the official government websites.

#BJJ #MartialArts #MMA #Bullying #Podcast #LuigiMondelli #JiuJitsu #Grappling #UFC #SelfDefense #Combatives #Danbury It takes one courage, a great passion for martial arts, and humbleness to, after reaching a high level in one art, still look for other disciplines to master. Many of us can get too comfortable after mastering an art. The idea is: why not keep learning and evolving? In this episode, I talked to Terry Gruel. An amazing Karateka that never stopped working on himself even after mastering his art and achieving many titles in competitions. An amazing man that can inspire us all! Keep Calm, and Train BJJ!

#BJJ #MartialArts #MMA #Bullying #Podcast #LuigiMondelli #JiuJitsu #Grappling #UFC #SelfDefense #Combatives #Danbury Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been spreading around the country but for years many BJJ enthusiasts could not find a school with a black belt professor teaching nearby. Some found an association that provided a good and solid structured system where remote students could still evolve and progress. However, we all know that learning from videos only is not ideal, legit, and how BJJ is supposed to be taught and learned. We have seen many people like Steve Young that did the right thing. First, he didn't let the challenges posed by distance stop him from pursuing his goals. Second, he and I found a way to have a legit program where he would come consistently to our HQ and on top of that I would travel to his school 4-5 a year spending a good amount of time training, teaching, mentoring him and his students. So it is doable, and necessary in situations like that when you can't train with a black belt full time due to distance and location. As long as you get enough solid instruction, guidance, structured curriculum, and of course reserve time to travel or to have your coach visit you (as we have been doing with Oklahoma Combat Sports), I believe that BJJ can reach the whole world, and you can become a black belt as well. Disclaimer: Steve went through the Black Belt graduation process in Connecticut like all of our students have to. In his process, he rolled for 90 minutes non-stop in a shark-tank setup against all brown and black belts from our association in rounds of 3 minutes. Every time facing a rested and fresh brown or black belt. No shortcuts, no easy ways, way harder than you can imagine. Keep Calm, and Train BJJ! Send us your opinions.

Hey Everyone, Luigi Mondelli here... This is a different type of episode. For a while, I have been compiling my ideas gathered through many years of training with different coaches in martial arts and other related combatives training. I decided to make a personal episode since The Fight Team Podcast is my way to reach out to my students and friends.  My goal was just to share my mindset and not try to lecture anyone. But pretty much that is the mindset applied to the classes I am starting to teach in Danbury, CT. So here I am using "I" instead of "we" to send this message to whoever is looking for one more perspective when it comes to self-defense and combatives. I'd love to hear your mindset too. Please contact me (email below) if you would like to participate, add, or bring different ideas. Let's have great dialogue and brainstorming.  Keep Calm, and Train BJJ! Send us your opinions.

In this episode, we touched a couple of controversial topics. At the end of the day is up to each martial artist to come up with their own conclusions, but there are some things that are just basic common sense.  Do fundamentals work in a high level/rank BJJ match? We heard some opinions where one said they don't. We think differently.  Also, should black belts enforce their hierarchy outside their dojos, in their social interactions outside their schools?

Managing a martial arts school is no easy task. There are so many tasks and procedures, including curriculum, marketing, billing, and the everyday management chores.  In this quick interview, we talked to Kelly Corder, a very accomplished martial artist, who is a master in Kajukenbo and black belt professor in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  Kelly runs two schools in Arizona, and he has used all his expertise in software development to create a super simple and practical tool for school owners.

Traditions and routines. In this episode, we discussed how in most part, martial arts schools should be a neutral place for everyone.  The mats should be a neutral zone, no religions, no political views, a place for everyone, regardless of race, gender, etc, where everyone shares the same enthusiasm and passion for various martial arts.  We also listed some of our own routines pre and after classes. What we eat before class, how we wash our Gis and get our uniforms ready to roll, etc.  In the second part of this episode, we had a chance to talk to Kevin Garcia, co-founder of FightMatch. We talked about the idea behind this service and what is coming next in 2018.  Don't forget you can find us on iTunes, Soundcloud, YouTube, Windows App, etc. Just search for "The Fight Team Podcast".
