Episode 21- The White collar project: Building a game like Roger Gracie

This episode marks the start of The White Collar Project a focused mission to compete and build a complete game based on one of the greatest to ever do it: Roger Gracie.

In this episode, Alex and Cameron break down Roger’s approach to Jiu-Jitsu and what makes his game so effective at every level from fundamentals to world championship dominance.

But this isn’t about trying to become Roger.

It’s about understanding why his game works and what it actually takes to build something similar under real-world conditions.

We cover:

🥋 The core principles behind Roger Gracie’s game
🥋 Why simplicity, pressure, and fundamentals still dominate
🥋 The reality check; why Cameron will never be Roger (and why that’s a good thing)
🥋 How to take inspiration without falling into imitation
🥋 What it actually takes to prepare for competition
🥋 Building a structured, repeatable game plan under pressure

This episode sets the foundation for the journey ahead combining strategy, discipline, and honest self-assessment to prepare for competition the right way.

Whether you’re competing or just looking to sharpen your game, this is about training with intent, building a system, and executing when it counts.
