Jiu-Jitsu After Dark

Kurt (joined by wife Melissa) talks "colorfully" about Maker's Mark, being asked to participate in Metamoris 5 (!), submission only and plays a game of "Drink or Grapple". Yes, there is A LOT of swearing, as it should be. And I think he was naked...

World Champion Emily Kwok calls The Basement and we talk about what it takes to be a World Champion, or more like what you need to give up. Then it gets real. A great interview from one of BJJ's great competitors, teachers and personalities. With a little audio hiccup about halfway through thanks to skype.

I sat down with Minnesota grappler/mma fighter Nate Howe and talked with him about his roots in Rickson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, his evolution as a fighter, his upcoming fight at RFA 19 at Mystic Lake Casino on October and perhaps, a couple of my own small BJJ rants...and I was totally sober. Shocking.

jjad Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros, 2-time Mundial Absolute Champion talks with me via skype about steroid use in BJJ, competing at Metamoris 4 and the formation of Team Brasa. I still can't believe he was so cool during this interview. Maybe there's something to this podcasting thing...
