Description
Beauty and the Gi is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu podcast that explores the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu and uncovers the connections between Jiu-Jitsu and life beyond the mat. Whether you are a new white belt, or a seasoned grappler, this podcast offers a unique blend of personal experiences, challenges, and breakthroughs. In each episode, you get the perspectives of the ever-curious Blue Belt Jen Edds, along with Black Belt and coach AJ Clingerman. Episodes are usually 30 minutes or less because we would rather be rolling than talking about it.

251: Rolling with Black Belts
2026/11/05
In this episode of Roll Models Wanted we discuss the results of a recent poll that we put out asking about what you want out of a roll with a Black Belt that isn't your coach.
We dive into our thoughts on what it's like as a Black Belt rolling with people we don't know, as well as what we see at open mats.
We also take a moment to answer Amy's question that we missed from episode 250 about the difference between being a coach and a teacher.
We do have some small sound issues in this one, but don't worry, they don't last the whole episode.

In this episode of Beauty and the Gi we interview Dr. Leslie Davis, aka Dr. Pressure, which might be the best nickname in Jiu Jitsu!
Dr. Leslie is a purple belt out of Illinois. She's a relationship therapist and is doing so many great things for her community and the world! She made big fans of us in this episode and I think you'll feel the same after listening!
Dr. Leslie will be speaking at Roll Model Camp and running one of our Round Tables and we are so excited for the Roll Models to get to meet her and learn from her!
