Jiu-Jitsu After Dark

Jon keeps forgetting what he is talking about as he and Chris discuss dive bars, Asian cinema, conspiracy theories, misnomers in BJJ, and the difference between black belts. (recorded 9/21/16 at Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge in Minneapolis, MN)

Chris sits down with Pedro Sauer's first black belt and legendary muay thai and MMA trainer Greg Nelson at his gym (The Academy in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota) along with two of his MMA fighters: John Castaneda (Combate Americas) and Dan Moret (RFA) to talk a little MMA and share some amazing old school stories. (recorded 09/14/16 at the Academy)

Yes, that's spelled correctly. Chris and Jon talk about CM Punk, golf, Jon's BJJ woes, weight classes and how to properly enjoy a shower.

Jon and Chris completely forget about their three-digit milestone and talk about what drives competitors, especially the good ones. Something they know nothing about. (recorded 08/23/16 via Skype)

No, I couldn't come up with a better title. You try doing this 99 times. Chris and Jon discuss the finer points of finding and dating a fellow grappler, upcoming UFC 202 and Jake Shields inability to throw. (recorded via Skype on 8/19/16)

Yeah, you're just gonna have to listen for that title to make sense. (recorded via Skype on 8/12/16)

Between the madness that is the current state of the UFC belts and the prospect of the podcast becoming a weekly exercise in tangents, chaos doesn't only reign, it pours. 

JJAD celebrates the "2 years, I think" anniversary. Chris and Jon share some other dates, coin the term "lunch beer" and establish how stupid the idea of the creonte is.

Today we learned how much Chris's wife weighs and what causes Jon to lose and erection. And somehow they tie all of that and more into a podcast devoted to BJJ (for once).

Yeah, you read that right. And yes, there are multiple ways of interpreting that, but I guess you need to listen to find out more as Chris adds to his mythos. (recorded via Skype on 6/30/16)
