Off the Mats #35- BJJ Ladies Compilation

This week's episode of the podcast, I had the privilege of doing a brief Q&A session with several female grapplers from various backgrounds and areas. I wanted to get an idea of how these individuals felt as they began training martial arts, what they experienced during their first competition, had they ever been in a fist fight,  and what advice they wish they'd had in the beginning. This episode is a little different from previous editions, but I think you'll all still enjoy it very much. I have a few familiar guest and a few new.

Off the Mats #34- Happy Anniversary

Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. This week, my guest is my wife....Sarah....with an "H". We decided to sit down and chat about our 21 years together as we approach our anniversary. Really, we just talk about Marvel legends, WWE Royal Rumble, my OnlyFans potential, and some small dynamics of our marriage. We're simple folk and really don't ask for much.
Thank you, everyone for listening and supporting the podcast. This wouldn't work without you all and I appreciate it.

Off the Mats #33- Behind the Curtain with JB Part 2

What's up, winners?? Welcome back to part 2 of what was meant to be a very short Q&A session (Don't worry, that's still coming) and somehow ended up turning into... I don't know what. This week JB (@jits_bitch for the Instagram crew) and I continue down the rabbit hole of madness where we discuss her introduction into martial arts, her feelings on competing in BJJ, and why she loves Casablanca. If you made it through part 1, you should be fine for part 2.

Off the Mats #32- My Favorite Mistake with JB Part 1

What's up, loyal listeners.  This week on the podcast, I welcome a very good friend of mine as we accidentally recorded this episode. We were meant to record a 15 to 20 minute Q&A session and it turned into a 3 hour therapy session for both of us. My guest this week is JB, but many of you may know her as Jits_Bitch from Instagram. In our therapy session, we discuss our colorful upbringings, caring too much, and Cabbage Patch Kids. Buckle up for a potentially triggering 90 minutes of Dante and JB going deep into the woods as we forgot that we were recording at one point.
