In this episode, we talk about the age-old battle between Gi and No-Gi. Proponents of one camp will claim superiority over the other, and we are here to dive deep into what makes each one unique, what the similarities are, and whether or not they should be treated as separate entities. Hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, we discuss whether or not we owe the gyms we train/trained at anything other than membership fees. There have been many cases in the Ju-Jitsu world as well as MMA where there have been disputes between former gym members and gyms. Some of these disputes aren't just related to money and so we are taking a deeper look at what potential problems arise between a member and their gym, and giving our opinions on the topic. 

This is quite a special episode in which we interview a good friend of Robbie, Kamran Miah. He tells an interesting story of his journey with boxing and working for the finance giant J.P. Morgan. We think this may be one of the best podcast episodes to date so make sure you stick until the end to hear this story!

How can we categorise MMA fighters? What about fans of MMA? Building on ideas from John Danaher and Din Thomas we discuss the different archetypes of fans and fighters in the world of MMA.  

In this episode, we touch upon the dichotomy between winning by any means necessary but not wanting to permanently damage someone. From Jon Jones to Jorge Masvidal, different fighters have voiced different sides to the story and we try to make more sense of this somewhat strange part of MMA.
