    Episode 149 - Why Cross-Training At Other BJJ Gyms Is Making The Sport Better

    On episode 149 of the BJJ Balance Podcast, Mat and Kenny cover a little bit of everything: coaching a student to a second place finish, why "no-gi guys" get labeled emotional, and an honest, no-filter conversation about past steroid use, bodybuilding culture, and knowing when to walk away from it. They dive into the male period, showing vulnerability as a man, and why having a group of like-minded guys to talk to matters. From there it's straight into the GOAT debates: Michael Jordan's case as the greatest basketball player ever, and why GSP and Jon Jones are the two names that matter most in MMA history. They also talk BJJ gym culture and cross-training, how the internet changed jiu jitsu instruction forever, respect for old-school professors who had no resources to learn from, and shoutouts to Pantcho, B-Mac, and Craig Jones for their influence on the BJJ Balance brand. Plus: casting a BJJ Balance biopic, celebrity look-alikes, white boy stereotypes, conspiracy theory rabbit holes, and a wild story that gets saved for the After The Roll bonus segment.
