Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I have an amazing show for you this week!!! I met with my friend, fellow Brazilian Jiu Jtisu practitioner, science teacher, and author Elena Stowell.  Like most others I have met here in the PNW, we met through Brazilian Jiu Jtisu. She is a teammate of mine over at Foster Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and she also happened to be my son Zach's Biology teacher! We talk how Jiu Jitsu saved her from some of the darkest moments in her life, to becoming an internationally recogized author, to starting a foundation in memory of her late daughter Carly, to starting a non-profit organization to get new  or used Jiu Jitsu equipment to those in need, in countries such as Brazil and the Philippines. We also discuss a young man by the name of Luciano who she met through her travel to the favelas of Brazilian and how she was able to help him fulfill his dream of not only coming to the United State, but also competing the IBJJF World Tournament in Long Beach, CA. This was a great discussion with one of my favorite persons....

Interview with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt and author Elena Stowell

Elena Stowell’s Frango &amp; Chicken, a beautiful story about positivity and how some things seem impossible, but with the right attitude and the help of a friend, you can do more than you ever thought you could.The adventures of Frango and Chicken are inspired by the true story of a young man in Brazil who has had to overcome physical challenges since infancy. By maintaining a positive attitude and sense of humor, he shows all of us how to live without limits.A PERSONAL NOTE FROM ELENA STOWELL"Oh you're a writer." "No, I'm a biology teacher"I'm still working to add my new label to the others, mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, teammate. Flowing with the Go went from being a therapy project to being a cathartic experience that helped free me from the lonely and desperate hold that grief had on me. I found a sport, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, that helped me heal and provided a support group like no other. With my spirit renewed, Flowing with the Go has now inspired me to give back. After taking the Portuguese translation of my book to Brazil, I was touched by the positive way BJJ inspired the young children in the Projeto Social to work hard to improve themselves and their lives. My book has opened doors I never knew were there.
