About this listen

Sure, this started as a podcast about Jiu Jitsu, but let’s be honest, we talk about everything. Training, injuries, gym culture… but also hunting, tech, life outside the mats, and whatever else we’re obsessing over that week.


If you’ve ever gone to open mat and stayed two hours after just to talk about your heart rate data, supplements, or whether deer feel fear this is your kind of pod.


No hard rounds here. Just good convos, occasional wisdom, and a lot of off-topic detours.
