This isn’t just about arm wrestling — it’s about what it takes to rebuild yourself when life breaks you.

Michael “The Monster” Todd has faced shattered bones, brutal losses, and rule changes designed to stop him — yet every time, he’s adapted, rebuilt, and risen stronger.

Beyond the table, he’s built a space where athletes and everyday people come together to push limits, find purpose, and reject mediocrity.

His philosophy is simple: hard work, consistency, and faith over excuses.

If you’ve ever felt beaten down or ready to quit, this one will relight the fire.

“BJJ isn’t that hard — people just make it hard by chasing fluff. If you focus on movement and fundamentals, everything else falls into place.”

What if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t actually that hard? My guest today says the problem isn’t the art itself — it’s the way we’ve been taught to overcomplicate it.

Meet Randy William — BJJ black belt, police officer, and straight-talking coach who’s on a mission to cut through the fluff and show you why “BJJ isn’t that hard.” From teaching as a blue belt on an Air Force base to revolutionishing the teaching of BJJ, Randy brings raw honesty, practical wisdom, and a no-BS approach to mastering the art.
