Grappling Hour

The double champ, MAX HANSON, joins us on the show today for the very first time. We get into his competition mindset, how he was able to advance so quickly, and go over the types of training it takes to become a champ in not just one, but two (and maybe three) weight classes. Since we did this interview, he has won another belt at Enigma Jiu Jitsu. Congrats to this man. —— WE'VE GOT NEW MERCH: He...

The co-founder and co-owner of the Submission Grappling Club, EOGHAN O'FLANAGAN, joins us today on the show for the very first time.

Plus, we exchanged technique tips for hitting a Boston Crab in jiu-jitsu and other nonsense that we pull when we roll. —— WE...

I've been meaning to interview this guy for some time. David Garmo's Instagram is nothing but class. When the dude isn't competing heavily on the jiu-jiutsu scene, he takes his time selecting the perfect chairs to sit in. And I had questions about that process (how does he select the chair, why did he start doing it). Plus, we get into some thoughts about competition, the perfect coffee, the camar...

ANDREW TACKET was on a tear at this year's ADCC Open. To commemorate his big wins, I decided to hit him up and catch up about that experience, his incredible run on "The Ultimate Grappler" (a.k.a.

It's #StrengthMobility week here on the show. Today we air an interview that I did with co-owner Sven Manseau all the way back in January of 2020. A simpler time some might say.

So make plans to watch the action along with us. But sit...
