#24 Ruairi Keena & Dave Hynes: The Story of Lakeland Jiu Jitsu, Injury & Legacy!
Jun 29, 20261h 48m
In this special 2-year anniversary episode of the Emerald Grappling Podcast, Aaron is delighted to be joined by two of his own coaches from Lakeland Jiu Jitsu: Ruairi Keena and Dave Hynes. Ruairi, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, and Dave, a Brown Belt, share the story of their journeys through the sport. We explore the origins of Lakeland Jiu Jitsu, tracing its roots from the early days of Mullingar Grappling to the thriving club it has become today. Ruairi and Dave reflect on the challenges of building a club from the ground up, the uncertainty of those formative years, and the moments that tested their commitment to the mats. They discuss what kept them moving forward when progress was slow and success was far from guaranteed. Dave opens up about his return from a serious ACL injury and the lessons learned through recovery, resilience, and adapting his training approach. Together, they discuss the role of strength and conditioning in longevity, why so many grapplers neglect it, and how setbacks can often become the catalyst for growth. The conversation also explores the realities of balancing family life, coaching responsibilities, and personal development. Ruairi and Dave share how parenthood has shaped their perspective both on and off the mats, the life lessons they hope to pass on to their children, and the challenges of managing multiple responsibilities while continuing to grow within the sport.We also dive into competition, the evolution of their jiu jitsu over the years, and why both have remained committed to a pressure-heavy, gi-focused style in an era increasingly dominated by no-gi grappling. Ruairi reflects on what earning his black belt meant to him, while both coaches discuss the techniques, concepts, and philosophies that have stood the test of time. Finally, Ruairi and Dave share their coaching philosophies, what they look for in students who have the potential to go all the way to black belt, and the legacy they hope Lakeland Jiu Jitsu leaves behind for future generations.Some clubs produce competitors. Others build communities. Lakeland Jiu Jitsu has spent years building both. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 - 03:01 Intro & how Ruairi and Dave got started in Jiu Jitsu 03:02 - 08:53 Origins of Lakeland Jiu Jitsu, Mullingar Grappling & Fight Club! 08:54 - 14:02 SBG Mullingar and Longford BJJ Partnership 14:03 - 17:07 Tom King and His Influence on Lakeland Jiu Jitsu 17:08 - 23:30 Recovering from Herniated Discs & ACL Injury 23:31 - 27:52 Strength & Conditioning and the Mental side of Recovery 27:53 - 32:43 Returning to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu After ACL Surgery 32:44 - 35:26 Modifying BJJ game after injuries 35:27 - 39:47 Heavy Pressure and Top Game in BJJ 39:48 - 47:55 BJJ for Self Defense in BJJ Beginners Course 47:56 - 52:19 Gi Focused Grappling 52:20 - 57:15 Returning to BJJ Competition 57:16 - 57:58 Ruairi's Competition Experience 57:59 - 1:07:12 Balancing BJJ, Family Life & Coaching Kids 1:07:13 - 1:13:52 The Coaching Team Behind Lakeland Jiu-Jitsu 1:13:53 - 1:19:02 Using BJJ for Self Defense in real life at ATM! 1:19:03 - 1:20:14 Every gym gets a "street fighter" bro 1:20:15 - 1:22:07 Seeing Future Black Belts 1:22:08 - 1:29:02 Student retention over the years 1:29:03 - 1:33:19 What getting a BJJ Black Belt meant to Ruairi & Developing as a Coach 1:33:20 - 1:42:20 Advice for Future Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Coaches 1:42:21 - 1:44:09 The Legacy We Want to Leave in BJJ 1:44:10 - 1:47:12 Future of the Emerald Grappling Podcast 1:47:12 - 1:47:42 Outro 🟢 FOLLOW RUAIRI & DAVE ON INSTAGRAM Ruairi's Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/ruairi_keena/⁠ Dave's Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/david_hynes_/ https://www.instagram.com/ruairi_keena/⁠ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🟢 FOLLOW LAKELAND JIU JITSU Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/LakelandJiuJitsu Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lakelandjiujitsu/ Website → https://lakelandjiujitsu.eu

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
