Simply the most entertaining jiujitsu show. Only show i listen to every single episode
My favorite jiu jitsu podcast! Doesn’t take itself too seriously but drops plenty of pearls of wisdom.
I really like this show and the interview style. I especially like to search for old shows interviewing people I’d like to listen to - I especially enjoyed a Henry Akins interview - because I know some great questions will be asked and the dialog will be top notch. Great show
As a 66 year old white belt who may never be able to train again (never say never) I really enjoy listening to Josh while I am working out. His topics are interesting, his guests bring different perspectives and experiences and he is a funny guy. And he’s from Illinois. Great show, thank you!
I’m a big fan of this show. Look forward to each episode. I’m a 48 year old female white belt! Mom of a green belt and yellow belt! Wife to a black belt! Keep the great podcasts coming Josh! I’m a big fan!
