The Neon Belly Podcast

I love this podcast. Drew is an amazing communicator—he has a way of explaining jiujitsu concepts in a very clear way that makes everything easy to visualize, which is incredibly impressive given that this is a podcast and jiujitsu is a very visual and physical art form. While he has several years of experience on the mats, and is an amazing jiujitsu historian, Drew is incredibly humble and doenst speak in a way that would isolate beginners to the grappling game, which I really appreciate. Finally, I love how Drew often links videos to his podcasts that exemplify the concepts he’s discussing in the episodes—it gives you a way to really see what he’s describing, though he explains things so well, you aren’t surprised when you watch the videos he links! I *highly* recommend listening to Drew’s deep dive on the North South Choke, and his episode devoted to the Guillotine Choke—he’s clearly an expert on these techniques, and the Guillotine episodes is one of my fave jiujitsu podcast episodes EVER! So glad The Darce Knight finally has such an amazing platform—please keep the content coming Drew! 💙

I listen to, and enjoy, lots of BJJ themed podcasts. This is the first one that translated immediately to my performance on the mat. It’s difficult to give technical instruction in audio only form, but Drew Darce (or Darce Knight as many of us have known him) has broken this wall. The BJJ rabbit hole divers like me have been reading (and using) his advice for years on forums, and this podcast delivers his BJJ nuances in a way that can affect your next roll. If you like choking people, this is your podcast. If you have a technique that you just can’t get on decent opponents, this is the podcast for you. Heck, if you like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is a must listen. Listen and subscribe, otherwise a lower belt will be choking you out because he/she listens to this podcast very soon!
