EP #66: Defending What Matters: Flip Awesome Aguilera's Journey to Teaching Real-World Self-Defense

  • Summary

  • What makes Flip Awesome Aguilera with Self Defense Academy - Colorado Springs a good neighbor?

    What if self-defense was about more than just physical techniques? In this eye-opening conversation with Flip Awesome Aguilera, founder of the Self-Defense Academy Colorado Springs, we explore how protecting yourself extends far beyond combat moves into a complete lifestyle philosophy.

    Flip shares his fascinating journey from successful Miami personal trainer working with celebrities and elite athletes to Colorado Springs jiu-jitsu instructor with a mission. Unlike traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools focused on sport and competition, his academy teaches street-ready skills designed for real-world protection. "Most people think of jiu-jitsu, they think of UFC," Flip explains, "but it's so much deeper than just a sport."

    The academy's guiding principle resonates throughout our discussion: "Self-defense is not just a set of techniques, it's a mindset that begins with the belief that you are worth defending." This powerful perspective has attracted a diverse student base, initially composed primarily of women seeking practical protection skills without combat sport aspirations, and now expanding to include parents bringing their children and men of all ages.

    We also delve into Flip's personal story of transformation through adversity. His candid reflections on life's challenges—from divorce to business partnership difficulties—reveal how these experiences shaped his philosophy of resilience and self-worth. His weekly blog continues this conversation, connecting jiu-jitsu principles to creating more vibrant, vital lives beyond the mat.
