    (Ep 46) Is Jiu-Jitsu Star Wars, or Does It Take Itself Too Seriously?

    In this episode we ask whether jiu-jitsu takes itself too seriously, exploring the two cultural camps: the hyper-serious, macho side, and the silly, meme-driven side; and how figureheads like Gordon Ryan and Craig Jones fuel that divide. We discuss the idea that promoters may be manufacturing controversy (WWE-style), or that the split has been masterminded by a hooded evil figurehead looking to control the entire sport. We also discuss the role of social media in growing jiu-jitsu’s pop culture, and the simple takeaway: it’s a goofy sport, so have fun and don’t take it too seriously. We ask you the listeners: Who is jiu-jitsu's Obi-Wan Kenobi? Who is Mikey Musumeci in this analogy?  Join us on this fun ride through the silliness of our sports pop culture scene.

    (Ep 45) Jiu-Jitsu as Jazz: Finding Creativity Between the Moves

    In this episode we explore creativity and self-expression in jiu‑jitsu — using the "jazz" analogy and discuss utilizing the constraints led approach to bridge the space between techniques. We discuss how drills, repetition, and playful constraints help practitioners discover timing, leverage, and their own style on the mat. The hosts cover coaching strategies, balancing competitive rigidity with fun experimentation, adapting over time, and practical ideas like goal-driven rolling and card-based drills to force creativity while still building competition-ready skills.
