In this episode of the show, I’m joined by Shawn Melanson — a Jiu-Jitsu black belt, highly respected instructor, and the owner of Precision Jiu Jitsu in New Hampshire. Known for his incredibly refined and effective teaching style, Shawn is a coach’s coach — a technician with a deep understanding of wrestling for BJJ integration and a powerful advocate for intelligent grappling.
Shawn has become a go-to resource on BJJ Fanatics, where his instructional series, such as Precision Wrestling for Jiu Jitsu and Precision Attacks and Sweeps from Butterfly, Half, and Knee Shield, have helped practitioners around the world elevate their game. In this conversation, we talk about the evolution of his style, how wrestling has shaped his Jiu-Jitsu, his approach to coaching, and what it means to develop high-percentage techniques that hold up under pressure. We also dive into training culture, competition prep, and modern grappling.
