Jiu-Jitsu After Dark

We watched the Van Damme classic Bloodsport and provided our own running commentary. What? Can't really sugar-coat this one. Recommended if you can listen while watching Bloodsport on Netflix or whatever, and if not, well, listen anyway.

Undefeated professional boxer Robert Brant (14-0) sits down to talk about training, true dedication to a sport, the next generation of MMA and training out-of-state. A very cool interview I will need to follow up on. (recorded 2/14/15, yes Valentine's Day, because I'm committed to you animals)

Co-host Chris flies solo for the first time with his interview of Cleber black belt Jared Raths, head BJJ instructor at Leadership Academy in Woodruff, Wisconsin. Recorded at an Applebee's for ambiance over appetizers and margaritas. Not a bad first go for Chris. Enjoy. (recorded 02/08/15)

Minnesota's only black belt no gi world champion, Chris McCune, sits down with Jon at his school and talks the early days of MMA, his roots with self-defense, being a kung fu master and so much more. Great interview from a great coach. (recorded 01/27/15 at McCune's Martial Arts, Brooklyn Park, MN)

Sorry, no UFC gym in this episode, but there are 6, yes 6, wonderfully horrible BJJ and MMA frauds that Chris and Jon wax nostalgic about as they finish their list of the most notorious morons of the digital age. (recorded 01/06/15 at MTT in Eagan, MN)

MMA trolls abound as Jon and Chris delve into some of the best ever cases of MMA internet trolls posing as world champions, lethal killers and people who don't still live in their parent's basements. Part 1 of 2. (recorded 01/06/14 at MTT in Eagan, MN)

For the last podcast of 2014, Jon and Chris wander down a memory lane studded with Jean Claude Van Damme and a deer carcass...wait, what? Then they eventually talk about the Miyao Brothers and the upcoming Jones/Cormier UFC fight set for January 3rd, 2015. (recorded on 12/30/14 at MTT in Eagan, MN)

JJAD #30- After a brief detour, Jon and Chris sit down at the Tin Whiskers in St. Paul Minnesota to discuss their lack of knowledge on international borders, Jon's unfounded disdain for gauge earrings and eventually, a little discussion about Rigan Machado's new Jiu-Jitsu World League

Recorded at Grumpy's in downtown Minneapolis, Jon and Chris talk about a couple of new BJJ videos that have divided the community as well as a strange patriotic turn and what they would or wouldn't do for some crack.

Talking about BJJ, self-defense, police procedures and so very much more as the Jameson flows.
