  • Bjj podcast ive been waiting for

    Great podcast, ive thought for a while it would be great to have an analytical bjj podcast. Similar to the 100s of mma breakdown podcasts. Sound quality is a little patchy but it will improve over time im sure.

  • Drew is the BEST explainer

    I love this podcast. Drew is an amazing communicator—he has a way of explaining jiujitsu concepts in a very clear way that makes everything easy to visualize, which is incredibly impressive given that this is a podcast and jiujitsu is a very visual and physical art form.

    While he has several years of experience on the mats, and is an amazing jiujitsu historian, Drew is incredibly humble and doenst speak in a way that would isolate beginners to the grappling game, which I really appreciate.

  • A BJJ Podcast that will improve your next roll.

    I listen to, and enjoy, lots of BJJ themed podcasts. This is the first one that translated immediately to my performance on the mat.

    It’s difficult to give technical instruction in audio only form, but Drew Darce (or Darce Knight as many of us have known him) has broken this wall.

    The BJJ rabbit hole divers like me have been reading (and using) his advice for years on forums, and this podcast delivers his BJJ nuances in a way that can affect your next roll.
