High Quality Great Show
This is a legit breakdown of Jiujitsu mindset, techniques, history, behavior and overall performance of the greatest sport on earth! Plus Kroyler and Andrew are really funny!
Kroyler + Andrew = Win Win!
I just listened to every single episode (and some of them twice!)in one month! And I want to make sure I’m not missing something. Haha! You guys just stopped making episodes without warning 😢😭…. Are you making episodes that are available somewhere else maybe? If not that’s too bad. Kroylers knowledge and Andrews humor keeping me intrigued and laughing, and is a win win. Gotta say, better than grappling rambling dads that loose me on all their tangents. Haha…
Being a 115 lb women white belt, and the closest I’ve been to martial arts is watching karate kid a million years ago, I especially appreciate it when you talk about etiquette, ways to train, being a white belt (obviously), what to expect, what NOT to do, and all the basics really.
You guys have helped me understand BJJ so much I don’t want to stop listening. Probably gonna go back and listen again.
I’m hooked.
Dudes. I just gotta say, I love your podcast. I think I discovered it on a Thursday and by Monday I was on episode 8. Since then I’ve been cruising right along and really enjoying the mix of technical deep dives and Gracie/BJJ history. I love Andrew’s humor - it’s silly and sarcastic without being loud and obnoxious. And Kroyler might have the best laugh ever- it’s deep and infectious but somehow doesn’t blow out the microphone. Solid all around. 👍🏻
