ROLL OR DIE

Following on from our recent announcement regarding the departure of Anton Harrison-Kern from the podcast, we are excited to reveal our new cohost Brent Dry, who will join Kim to build on the amazing platform Anton created!

Brent brings an inquisitive nature as well as a wealth of knowledge and life experience to Roll or Die - many of you will have seen his impressive beard on the local comp scene 🙂

Join us for an EPIC story from one of the most senior black belts in New Zealand, Douglas Santos. In this week’s episode, he shares openly his story of working from the age of seven years of age, through his move from Brasil to New Zealand and how he has learnt to become unbreakable, no matter what difficulties life throws his way. Learning of a rare heart disease, Douglas’ story will inspire and amaze you. Do not miss this episode of a man who follows the mantra that failure is a fairy tale, as long as you can go back and fix it.

After almost five years and over 200 episodes, the Roll or Die crew are sad to announce the departure of cohost Anton Harrison-Kern from the podcast 😢 Anton was the creator and mastermind behind the idea for Roll or Die and has been instrumental in its success. We never would have thought when this idea started in early 2020 that it would take off so well and become as popular as it is.

Roll or Die will continue with Kim and a new cohost to be revealed soon! We look forward to continuing to bring you the stories and adventures of the wonderful people who make up the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community in Australia into the future 😎

Mike Day is an OG with quite the story to tell. Over a 24 hour period last month, he turned 50, received his black in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and married his beautiful partner Maya, in a surprise wedding (disguised as a 50th birthday party). What an amazing day for this amazing man. As someone who has been in the game for almost two decades, make sure you tune into this episode to find out more about this awesome individual.
