Welcome back to 40 & Fighting — the podcast for grapplers who love training, talking shop, and laughing way too hard between rounds. In Episode 117, we're inviting the team to join our 40 & Fighting Discord (link in description) — then we get absolutely unhinged in the best way: we rank different grappling arts on a totally scientific scale from “all business” to “maximum cuddle-combat.” What we get into: Why we built the 40 & Fighting Discord and what you'll find inside Rating grappling styles from most serious face to most… affectionate entanglement The strengths (and hilarious stereotypes) of different grappling arts Lots of laughs, hot takes, and “hear me out” moments If you train BJJ, judo, wrestling, MMA, or any kind of grappling, this one's for you. Come for the rankings, stay for the chaos. Like • Comment • Subscribe Tell us in the comments: Which grappling art belongs at the “all business” end… and which one is peak cuddle-combat?
