About Me

Jiu Jitsu, Chaos & Way Too Many Near-Death Experiences

Hey, I’m Sam, and welcome to my corner of the internet—where I write about Jiu Jitsu, mental resilience, and the ridiculous, painful, and occasionally life-threatening lessons I’ve picked up along the way.

To put it bluntly: I’ve lived a pretty hectic life. I’ve had my skull rearranged, battled addiction, fought off CPTSD, had many a street fight (not my fault, mostly), and somehow ended up here - leg locking people and getting choked in return, all in the name of self-improvement.

I’m not a world champion. I’m not a coach. I’m just a guy who found Jiu Jitsu in the aftermath of some serious chaos and realised it was the thing keeping me sane.

What You’ll Find Here

✅ Stories that hit hard – The kind of shit that makes you laugh, wince, or rethink your life choices.
✅ Jiu Jitsu & life lessons – How getting squashed by 100kg men daily actually helps me function as a human.
✅ A bit of dark humour – Because when life keeps swinging at you, sometimes you just have to laugh.

If you've ever felt like an imposter in your own life, struggled with self-doubt, or just love the idea of fighting people for fun and personal growth, you’re in the right place.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee (or a protein shake, whatever your vibe is), and let’s figure this shit out together.

Welcome to the Funk.
