What's up you savages? This week's guest on the podcast is a martial artist, a content creator, and an all around great guy. I recently sat down with Zach from Student of BJJ. We discussed his introduction into Brazilian Jiu JItsu and a bit of his journey from beginning to current, Covid-19 and how it's directly effecting our lives and the lives of many others who train, and humanizing super heroes.

Off the Mats #17- The Addams Family Ties

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

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.
