Balancing loyalty with growth every day.
Our media's grown strong, spreading knowledge wide,

Shut Ya Dang Mouth, TRT Is Not BANNED!

Let's embrace the spirit, let our dreams reach the sky.

Customer Reviews
My fav BJJ podcast
Love everything about this podcast and the depth of applicable insights. Josh 2024
Clean, Fun
Josh is a brother in Christ and doesn’t curse or divulge into less-clean subjects. However, he manages to still be honest and informative. Great podcast!
Great show all around… but
I love the show and Josh, but man the voices can get very quiet. Also the audio of the intro is very loud when compared to him talking so I have to turn it down an turn it right back up again. This is really nitpicking tho I hope he changes it tho
