  • Immediate contender for top Jiu Jitsu podcast!

    I stumbled upon this show when looking for a Craig Jones interview and the flow of each conversation hooked me immediately. In a lot of shows, the host, who usually do Jiu Jitsu themselves, end up doing all the talking. Not this host. He ask great questions and let’s the guest do the talking. You should definitely check this podcast out.
