Today’s guest is Ben Kovacs — founder of Guardian BJJ, general manager at FloGrappling, and a genuinely influential figure in the jiu-jitsu media space. He’s someone who’s achieved a huge amount behind the scenes, yet stays incredibly humble and focused on giving back to the sport.

We dig into his journey, the creation of Guardian BJJ, his work shaping the storytelling of grappling, and the mindset that’s driven his success. It was a brilliant conversation, and I’m excited to share it with you.

Welcome to Chats with Ben.
