Summary

Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Lou Podcast - where Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is about far more than medals and matches.


Hosted by Lou Temlett, this podcast explores the real stories behind the people, brands and communities shaping the world of grappling. From elite competitors and black belts to everyday practitioners, coaches, gym owners and those quietly changing lives within the sport, these are honest conversations about what happens both on and off the mats.


Through open discussions around mindset, confidence, anxiety, neurodiversity, resilience, motherhood, mental health, competition, community and personal growth, the Jiu Jitsu Lou Podcast shines a light on the human side of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.


Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, a nervous beginner thinking about your first class, or someone searching for connection and inspiration through the sport, this podcast is here to remind you that you belong in the community too.


Alongside guest interviews, Lou also shares her own journey through training, competition, parenting and building a growing media platform within the grappling world.


Real people. Real stories. Real Jiu Jitsu.
