    JARED HAYMON w/ JWI PITTBOSS GRAPPLING

    A jiu-jitsu promotion where formal suits, ties, and even knives and guns change the outcome of the match? Jared Heyman is building exactly that, and the result is one of the wildest combat sports concepts you have to see to believe.On this episode, Dhimitri and Rob sit down with Jared Heyman, founder of Pitboss Grappling and the mind behind SuJitsu, JWI Gang Wars, and Pitboss Opens. What starts as a fun idea quickly reveals a full-on rule system built for nonstop action, audience participation, and a totally different kind of martial arts showcase.Jared breaks down how a simple suit-wearing promotional idea evolved into a signature format where competitors can use their clothing, the pit, and overtime weapon rules to force a finish.
