One for the hobbyist, the weekend warrior, the everyday mat crawler who is striving for Jiujitsu competence over Jiujitsu excellence. Join Chris and Jay as they cultivate the flowers of a blossoming Bromance and discuss their journey towards BJJ Black belt. Throughout this Podcast we introduce some of the classic Jiujitsu personalities and dive into the lives of the everyday BJJ practitioner. Our mission? We aren’t striving to be the best in the world, but we sure as hell expect to be Better Than Average.

    EP. 124 Temporal Pincer Movements

    This week on Better Than Average, Chris and Jay dive into CJI 2 and the heated tap or no tap debate shaking the BJJ world. Along the way, Manchester’s abundance of Thai massage parlours somehow makes it onto the agenda, and Jay manages to sneak in a not-so-subtle infomercial for his COV BJJ beginners course. To wrap things up, the lads take on Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, a mind-bending ride that leaves them both feeling like victims of some kind of temporal pincer movement. Do we do the that plethora of topics justice? Well there is no way for is to run it back, so it’ll have to do. At the very least, it turned out Better Than Average.

    EP. 123 The Pressure-stige

    This week on Better Than Average, Chris and Jay dive into Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige—a film packed with illusions, obsession, and one of the greatest cinematic twists of all time. We break down what makes this movie such a mind-bending classic, from the performances to the storytelling structure, and why it still holds up years later. But the conversation doesn’t stop at the movie—we also explore what it would actually be like to have a twin. From the practical perks to the weird identity challenges, we imagine the double life and how it might play out on and off the mats. It sounds like a weird episode right? Well it is, but it’s still Better Than Average.

    EP. 122 Tailor Made

    This week, Chris and Jay suit up and dive into Matthew Vaughn’s stylish spy flick The Kingsman: The Secret Service. From outrageous action sequences and over-the-top villains to sharp suits and sharper one-liners, we break down what makes this modern twist on the classic spy genre so much fun. Not your kind of movie? Not a problem we have all the normal BJJ and MMA chat starting with a breakdown of the recent UFC Middleweight Championship clash between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev—what went down, what surprised us, and what it means for the division moving forward. Between the chaos inside the cage and the chaos on screen this episode packs in fights, films, and as usual, its Better Than Average.

    EP. 121 Barbarian

    This week’s episode is a globe-trotter’s dream (sort of). Jay is gearing up for a trip to Vietnam while Chris takes a swing at Wimbledon. We also talk about Ffion Davies’ brand-new BJJ gym, Arma, and then dive into some very serious debates: Sydney Sweeney’s jeans and the eternal question—who’s better looking, Nadal or Federer? On top of that, we review Barbarian (thanks to Chris’ Netflix pick) and give our unfiltered take. It’s travel, tennis, BJJ, movies, and questionable fashion analysis all rolled into one. Did we Ace it? Not sure, but it’s definitely Better Than Average.

And of course, we catch up on all the latest BJJ, MMA, and pop culture news worth talking about. New location, brand new video, still Better Than Average.

    EP. 118 DIY

    This week on Better Than Average, we build our own makeshift studio and hit record—no excuses, just real talk all caught on film.

Jay walks us through his recent NAGA success, sharing match insights, takeaways, and a little behind-the-scenes from the mats. Then we flip the script with a full breakdown of American Psycho—what makes it iconic, the layers of satire, and whether Patrick Bateman is a misunderstood genius or just completely unhinged. New setup, same mindset: Always Better Than Average.
