Episode Details

Simon “J.J.” Racaza is a multi-time world champion in competitive shooting and a former federal law-enforcement instructor. On this episode of Old Man Grappling Hour, he joins Kevin Gallagher to dig into what it means to master one discipline, then pivot into another: martial arts, coaching, mindset and performance.

What you’ll hear:

• J.J.’s path: junior shooter, world titles, record-breaking performance.
• The shooting mindset – precision, focus, discipline – and how it applies to Jiu Jitsu and grappling.
• (Placeholder) MAT/HIS story segments about Jiu Jitsu, gym culture, training evolution.
• What elite performers across disciplines get right (and what they often miss).

For athletes, coaches, martial-artists, or anyone who values performance and transition—this episode delivers insight from one of the best.
