I knew Rapha from way back during our yoga teaching days. So it was truly special reconnecting with him again for this raw and unfiltered conversation.
We delved about his life’s journey of martial arts, spirituality and fatherhood, and reflected on the importance of taking responsibility for yourself while respecting the unknown, as well as setting boundaries to protect your space.
Stuff we talked about:
- Fatherhood
- Masculinity and the role of a man
- Being able to protect someone physically
- Jiu-jitsu journey
- Staying calm in deep waters
- Mr Not-so-Nice Guy
- Aggression and setting the tempo
- Accept and compose
- Learning to say ‘No’ in Jiu-jitsu
- The exchange of energy and protecting your space
- Having a plan and setting intentions for each roll
- Worshiping the Jiu-jitsu gods
- The endless pursuit
- Death and Rebirth
- Dealing with suffering and seeking spirituality
- Running from robbers in Peru
- Integrating with plant medicine
- There is no purpose
- Respecting the space around you
- Acknowledging the unknown
- Who you are when no one is watching
- Being responsible for yourself
- Everything is your fault
Sawadikap,
Aaron
