No Natural Talent Ep. 19 Rest Round - Nick, Dalton & Ismenia

*Listener discretion advised
Episode 19 gets a little raw - language, stories, and laughs included. Listener discretion advised.
Joining us are some familiar voices: Nick, who once admitted he didn't even like Jujitsu but kept showing up anyway; Ismenia, who brings her own spark to the mats; and Dalton, steady and loyal even as the “always injured guy”. Together they make this conversation as real as the training that binds us.

No Natural Talent Ep. 18 "Hugo"

Big heart, bigger fight, he is a protective father who is no stranger to physical challenges. Blessed to have his family in his corner. This is Hugo. 

No Natural Talent Ep. 17 "Scott"

Introspective and grounded, a rock climber who knows what it means to test limits on and off the mats. He's battled through injuries, fought his way back to training and carries with him a deep sense of knowing who he is and who he wants to become. This is Scott.

No Natural Talent Ep. 16 "Marie"

She loves anime and is quiet and shy, but make no mistake, she's a badass. She's overcome health struggles, drives further than most to train and she does it with joy and grit because she is in this for the long haul. This is Marie.

No Natural Talent Ep. 15 "Dalton"

He is loyal and steady, the kind of teammate you can always count on, the self proclaimed "always injured" guy. Nothing shakes his commitment...to his training, his people, or the ones he loves most. This is Dalton.

No Natural Talent Ep. 14 "Aaron"

He started training as a teenager, stepped away for 20 years and is now back on the mats as a blue belt. With a grin that shows his enthusiasm, he's soaking up every round of learning. He's proof that it's never too late to return to what you love. This is Aaron.

No Natural Talent Ep. 13 "Jeremy"

Quick with smart ass comments and never runs out of words, his loyalty to his teammates runs even deeper. He shows up, lifts others up, and keeps the energy alive in the room. This is Jeremy.  

No Natural Talent Ep. 12 "Cayson"

A generous smile with endless curiosity for the art. He stepped on the mats and found the missing piece. Quietly determined, he is proof that steady commitment builds unstoppable skill. This is Cayson. 

No Natural Talent Ep. 11 "Avery"

A brilliant mind with a heart for teaching, both on and off the mat. He breaks down technique with precision and ease. He is the nicest person you'll ever get choked by. This is Avery.

No Natural Talent Ep. 10 "August"

He’s the heart behind the gym, the Wristlock King, and the reason Jiujitsu feels like home for so many of us. His passion is matched only by his generosity, making the mats accessible and welcoming to us all. The Alliance SIBJJ community in Twin Falls exists because he built it with tenacity and heart.
This is August.
