Grappling Map

Turning martial artists into millionaires—one brutally honest conversation at a time. The Grappling Map Podcast is where Jiu-Jitsu entrepreneurs, combat sports business owners, content creators, and gear brands drop their masks—and tell the real story. We go behind the belt to deconstruct the business, battles, and breakthroughs that shape the grappling industry. No fluff. No hype. Just raw conversations with the people building something real on and off the mats. Whether you run a gym, sell rash guards, coach online, create content, or dream of building a business around what you love—this podcast gives you the playbook, mindset, and behind-the-scenes truth you won’t hear anywhere else. What You Can Expect: WARM-UP — Get to know the guest: origin stories, philosophies, and unseen motivations. SKILLS & DRILLS — Tactical deep dives into business models, money, retention, marketing, hiring, systems, and leadership. RANDORI — Rapid-fire final questions that pull out legacy-level insights and truth bombs. Each episode is recorded live to tape—raw, unfiltered, and unscripted. Just like a roll.
