In this episode of Grapplers Talk, I sit down with Austin Hardt-a brown belt at Ralph Gracie Berkely and the originator of one of the most unorthadox and viral submissions in modern jiu-jitsu: the Buggy Choke.

Austin walks me through the early days of developing this slick submission-from the mat experiments to the moment he reaalized he had created somthing totally new. We dive into how the move got its iconic name, the backlash and love it recieved from the grappling world, and why the Buggy Choke has cemented its place in competition footage across the globe.

Whether you're a technique junkie, a casual fan, or someone who's been caught in a Buggy and had no clue what happened-this episode delivers deep insight, hilarious stories, and raw passion for the art of jiu-jitsu.
