Today we talk a little bit about things that will get you labeled as a bad training partner. Or maybe just things that will get you labeled a D-Bag. 

Hey Guys, you don't want to miss this episode! We interviewed Mohammed Mustafa, a 2nd degree black belt who trains at Cascade BJJ. He has some interesting stories about growing up in Iraq, moving to the states, wrestling, and traveling to South America where he eventually trained jiu-jitsu and met his wife.

Hello! We are back after a week off due to some lovely seasonal illnesses making their rounds again. Today Dr. Chris has a rant he needs to get out, so we start there. And will sprinting increase natural HGH? Then we jump to ADCC leaving Flograppling and signing with UFC Fight Pass, and how that will impact the future of bjj. Also, we discuss some of the harder bjj concepts to learn when you first start jiu-jitsu, and a question on treating HPA axis dysfunction.
