    I’ve been training the art of jiu-jitsu for about three months now. Our Coach recommended the podcast one day during class. I’ve listened to every episode multiple times. Coach Bryan and Ed are an awesome combo and do a great job on the show. I’ve taken several of the tips and tricks that Coach Bryan has mentioned and suggested to Level Up my game. Thanks guys for a great show!
