 🥋 How do you stay calm, trust your instincts, and adapt under pressure, both on the mats and in life?

In this episode of Rolling Through Negotiations, we sit down with Chris Penrose, a proud Warumungu man, BJJ black belt, and one of South Australia’s top referees. From overcoming a life changing injury to shaping the next generation of martial artists, Chris shares his journey of resilience, learning, and giving back.

Key Takeaways:

  • Stay Calm & Focused: Whether refereeing high stakes matches or negotiating life’s challenges, Chris highlights the power of breathing, staying present, and making clear headed decisions under pressure.

  • Trust Your Instincts: Sometimes, the best decisions aren’t about logic they come from trusting your gut. Chris shares how learning to back himself as a referee and competitor has helped him make the right calls, even in controversial moments.

  • Set Goals & Serve Others: From fighting his way back to Jiu Jitsu after a severe injury to mentoring young martial artists, Chris shows how setting small, achievable goals and helping others can turn setbacks into strengths.

Whether you're a martial artist, a business professional, or someone navigating tough decisions, his insights will give you a fresh perspective on resilience and negotiation.
