Ste started his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu career accidentally when he thought he was walking into a Thai Boxing Gym. Today he still enjoys teaching and coaching in martial arts and supports to aim for us all to find something we enjoy doing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was only when Ste was promoted to Purple Belt that he felt like he had achieved a level of knowledge in Jiu Jitsu, however his favourite colour is black, primarily because he is now a Black Belt! Ste shares some wise words and positive attitude towards how we progress through BJJ. Looking for new approaches to the sport is something Ste is interested in developing in his game.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With Ikigai 11 upcoming on 1st August 2026 Ste shares where it all started and why. His intent is always to do something different but he has set the standard for increasing prize pots on grass roots BJJ events.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Topics:</strong></p><ul><li>Starting BJJ</li><li>Entrepreneurship</li><li>Purple Belt promotion</li><li>Efficient Jiu Jitsu</li><li>Ikigai Submission Grappling</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>GO FOLLOW</p><p><strong>Steven on Instagram: </strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/stevenhenshall/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/stevenhenshall/</a></p><p><strong>Henshall Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on Instagram: </strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/henshall_brazilian_jiu_jitsu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/henshall_brazilian_jiu_jitsu</a></p><p><strong>Ikigai Submission Grappling on Instagram: </strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ikigai_submission_grappling/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/ikigai_submission_grappling/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Official Partners of the podcast</strong></p><p><strong>SoulTaker Fightwear: </strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/soultakerfightwear/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/soultakerfightwear/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Watch on YouTube: </strong><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou</a></p><p><strong>Clips on TikTok and Instagram</strong></p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@jiu.jitsu.lou\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tiktok.com/@jiu.jitsu.lou</a></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.lou\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.lou</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>UK BJJ Podcast hosted by </strong>Lou Temlett <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.lou\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@jiu.jitsu.lou</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>PRODUCTION CREDIT: </strong>Kerr Mathieson of <a href=\"https://www.audiooutsource.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Audio Outsource</a></p><p><strong>MUSIC CREDIT:</strong></p><p><strong>ARTIST: Maleki Ram | TRACK: Just A Little Boy</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This work is licensed under a <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p>","author_name":"Lou Temlett"}
