#62: Alex Ueda: Grounded Grit in Jiu-Jitsu

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Software developer by day, a vessel of life lessons and first-degree black belt jiu-jitsu instructor by night, Alex Ueda made his first foray into jiu-jitsu after attending UCLA, where he majored in physics. A self-declared "fragile perfect" in his schooling and career, through his training, he found uniquely life-affirming perspectives and powerful mindsets that eluded him through university and a lifetime's participation in team sports. These days he enjoys a deep sense of purpose being the catalyst in others' journeys toward their best selves.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Georgia and Alex discuss:&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The meaning behind "Grounded Grit"</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trauma informed Jiu Jitsu</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How martial arts hijack your innate survival instinct and put you directly in contact with practices that lead to rooted, authentic, growth</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a beautiful, deep conversation that I really enjoyed participating in and I know you'll love listening to!&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To contact Alex:&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram: @groundedgrit&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website: </span><a href="http://www.groundedgrit.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.groundedgrit.com</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sign up to the Conscious Combat Club newsletter </span><a href="https://click.calendly.com/ls/click?upn=iv9HLNn5AOyjxPwviujPh7uTpy9R7VaSedlm2OJ3KVoZ-2FaEx-2BNARpTPDlDSBFZeeztPbTF3qXwz8UZ8dWzkKiw-3D-3DAc0J_OWk3aS73BwKUIQpQ-2BJAHBZnrhbuJqBxafHMqxE4-2BnAU6WoQ0pjdoJl8tKcJ3pBpibD6f-2F-2B2yzgkhseyO9qD-2Buzs2s8wcKydFJCeMTH5FF9nE4HdKesSrvFxdp5yn-2FSN8dnEfhcbRup2j3txit2hCkrGvs-2B8Qyxu6uw0puACj5EZaEd1F-2B4Ady173tGSKlRIQfvk8JNvXl
