“Don’t take the fight where you’re best. Take it where the gap in skill is the greatest.”

—Karel “Silver Fox” Pravec


Harinder Singh's guest on episode nine is one of the most respected figures in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—A pioneer of BJJ in the United States, Silver Fox has been training with Renzo Gracie since the early 1990s and has spent decades refining a unique and deeply insightful approach to martial arts, training, and life.


From his foundational Taekwondo beginnings to his immersive time training in the famed “Blue

Basement,” Silver Fox brings unmatched experience and clarity on what it means to be a lifelong

martial artist.


Known for his calm demeanor, razor-sharp technical insights, and a fluid, pressure-responsive

style, Silver Fox is the embodiment of efficiency over force. He is the founder of Silver Fox BJJ

Academy in New Jersey, author of the book Fluid BJJ: Scrawny “Middle Aged” Guy’s Guide

to Getting Submissions, and the creator of a global online presence that includes his Silver Fox

BJJ YouTube channel and app.


What sets him apart is not just his technical ability, but his deep understanding of how people

learn, how the body and mind integrate under pressure, and how to evolve your game without

destroying your body. In this conversation, we go beyond technique—we enter the realm of

mindset, mastery, energy efficiency, longevity, mentorship, and lifestyle.


If you're a martial artist of any kind—whether you train BJJ or not—this episode is a masterclass

in learning how to train smart, think clearly, and lead with wisdom.


You’ll hear battle-tested wisdom, practical advice, and timeless perspective on how to train

smart, evolve continuously, and uplift others along the way.
