Off the Mats Podcast
The Off the Mats Podcast is hosted by Jake Dante, a jiu jitsu practitioner in Maryland and all around regular guy.

Off the Mats #17- The Addams Family Ties
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Welcome back! As we continue a dive into our love for horror, we welcome The Rush Family into this circus. What's unique about my discussion with them about horror films is that we did take a turn toward a jiu jitsu conversation. So stick around as we dig into reboots and remakes of some classic films and Wednesday's fear of ice cream trucks.

Happy October, y'all. As we're creeping closer to Halloween, I'm going to get into some discussions about horror films. For this episode (1 of 3), I sit with one of my first best friends and fellow horror fan, Echo Latrice.

Off the Mats #15- New Kids On the Mat
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Welcome back, savages. In this week's episode, I am joined by my long time friends and new grapplers; Chris and Kian. We will discuss their experience, as prior to recording, we all went over and took a stab at jiu jitsu for the first time. We find out what the feelings were as they stepped onto the mat, went through the warmup, and where they think they'll be moving forward with jiu jitsu. So go ahead and get settled in as we go on another adventure.
As always, thank you for your continued support and listening ears.
