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 .
