Greg Lapin has made a living for the past two decades in Law Enforcement Special Operations and Government special operations, deploying to war zones throughout the world. Greg started his Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2005 when he was a New Orleans Police Officer because he understood what violence was and what skills he needed to have to go home at the end of the day. After leaving the police department and going to work for the U.S. Government, Greg trained on and off for several years in between deployments. Greg was what is known as a 10-year white belt due to not being able to train at a school consistently. During assignment in the United Arab Emirates, Greg began training seriously under Tiago Bravo where he received his blue belt in 2016. He is currently a black belt under Professor Erick Raposo. Jiu-Jitsu has changed Greg’s life and his main goal is to expose as many people to the art as possible.


Greg Lapin is currently the head black belt instructor at FieldCraft Jiu-Jitsu in Provo, Utah. Greg is part of the FieldCraft Survival cadre for tactical and mobility training. Greg still owns his own academy Vida Jiu-Jitsu in Louisiana.


Really enjoyed this conversation talking about Greg’s life moving around the USA and his World travels. Greg has managed his health very well and talks to us about staying disciplined and eating great ingredients. Carnivore diet, exercise , sleep and also having fun with good ol’ fashion cheat meals all come into the fold. 


Recorded on location at FieldCraft Survival HQ in Provo, Utah. Special thanks to Mike Glover and the FieldCraft Team for the studio space and constant support in my journey.
