Welcome to the first episode of The Mat Return podcast, hosted by Frank and Anthony from White Mountain BJJ in Ashland, New Hampshire.

We started this podcast to strengthen our community, share stories from the mats, and help each other stay consistent in training. In this episode we talk about:

• Why we launched The Mat Return
• What “mat return” really means
• The 6 a.m. Silverbacks class and the importance of accountability
• How progress in jiu-jitsu often sneaks up on you
• Growing kids classes (and teaching parents too)
• The role of patience, ego, and consistency in long-term growth
• How we hope this podcast can keep our community connected on and off the mats

Whether you are new to jiu-jitsu, a returning grappler, or a seasoned teammate, this show is for you.

Have a question, a story, or someone you want us to interview? Drop it in the comments or reach out on our site.

Thanks for listening and being part of White Mountain BJJ. We will see you on the mats.
