On the 104th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet podcast, I sit down with Chadi - a YouTuber, architect, author, Judo black belt, Aikido black belt, and martial arts translator and historian.

Chadi is well known for his YouTube channel where he breaks down the history of the martial arts. Chadi dives into topics like the history of Judo, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, comparing martial arts from around the world, and different forms of Judo or Jiu-Jitsu.

Chadi has also been on the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet podcast before to talk about his story and how Judo training has impacted his mental health and life off the mats.

In this episode, Chadi breaks down the history of grappling martial arts like Judo and Jiu-Jitsu. We dive into the controversy around Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and whether or not it is a form of Judo or a different martial arts all together... I reference my conversation with Dr. Rhadi Ferguson which you can find here:
