  • My favourite jitz pod

    I listen to quite a few different Jiu Jitsu podcasts and this is my favourite. Josh is an excellent host and interviewer and because he’s still quite early on in his Jiu Jitsu journey but also very intelligent, he asks clever questions but in such an egoless way, it’s very listenable. Love the calls with Jake, we all love Jake, but I’m so impressed with the diversity of the guests and conversations so I really enjoy them all!

I really appreciate Jake’s thoughtful analyses (even a mostly Gi guy). One minor idiosyncratic expression of bewilderment (which is neither here nor there): How can two so seemingly likeable guys be into bow hunting? Yes, yes, a swiftly killed animal that enjoyed freedom until its last breath is much better off than a factory-farmed anim... more
