2026-02-25
In this world-first roundtable episode of The Gi Spot, Rach and Kaz bring together three academy leaders — not to debate territory, but to redefine it.
In studio:
Grant & Rachel Bradshaw from Iconic Jiu Jitsu Academy,
Brian Lewis & John MacAleer from House of Water Jiu Jitsu and Other Musings,
and Peter Jackson from Nura Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy.This isn’t an episode about who has the biggest competition team or the loudest Instagram presence. It’s a deep dive into what leadership in jiu-jitsu looks like in 2026.
The team explores a growing shift in academy ownership — one built on confidence without ego, curiosity without insecurity, and collaboration without territorial nonsense.
Cross-training is encouraged. Doors are open. The mindset is simple: we can’t help everyone — but we’ll help you find someone who can.
No peacocking. No mat politics. No bar-storming bravado.
Just grappling — and building awesome people into even more awesome people.This isn’t just a conversation about running academies.
It’s a marker of a new era in jiu-jitsu.
