What's up, champs? Welcome back for another episode of the Off the Mats Podcast. My guest this week is the curator of studentofbjj.com and @studentofbjj on Instagram, Zack. On this episode we discuss returning to the mats following the chaos of Covid. We also chat about parenting tiny grapplers and we dive into a conversation about Zack's upcoming project Champions Keep Score. It's an upcoming app aimed at helping us not only document our progress, but it's also a learning tool that should change how we breakdown and understand our training and also how we decipher video.
Zack can be found at @studentofbjj on Instagram and you can follow the progress of the app by following @champions_keep_score on Instagram as well. Follow the link below to help contribute to the Kickstart. Besides helping out a great cause, you'll also see that there are some pretty cool incentives based on your contribution thanks to @93brand .

What's going on, nerds? Welcome back to another week of chatter. Recently Disney Plus concluded the Marvel series "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and I decided to sit with Maryland Phil, once again, and go over somethings about the show. In this episode we discuss each of the major characters and their motivations, major statements made in the series, where we think each character lands moving forward, and my love for interracial relationships. Buckle up everyone and get ready for a little back and forth silliness and seriousness.
Maryland Phil can be found on Twitter hosting @nerdragecast where he keeps us up to date on the Nerd rage happenings and comic and movie news.
Thank you everyone for your time. I really do appreciate you all. If you all have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach me at @bjj.wiki or @offthematspodcast on Instagram or @bjjwiki1 on Twitter.
