Jerome Maitland, who's spirit animal is Kung Fu Panda, joins us this week in the ROD studio's to talk about the evolution of his game, the rocky start to beginning, training when overweight, the differences between kids and adults, and his journey so far 🙂

This is one episode of Roll or Die that you don't want to miss. Take a listen to the journey of @baysidebjj's head coach, Peter Polygenis who has moved from a nickname of the Assassin to the Walrus. Not only is Pete a super positive and energetic coach of Bayside BJJ, he was an awesome guest who shared many insights into what makes a successful team and how to stay on the mats for many years to come

Was so great to catch up with the down to earth, and highly contributive, @matthew_wickham from @wickhamsmartialarts. As a really important part of the regional BJJ landscape, and somone who has had to deal with a full life, on and off the mats, you are going to love what he has to say. Kim and Anton had the pleasure of spending time in Las Vegas with Matt when we all compete in World Masters together 🙂

What a powerhouse is @gustavinho1978 from @rootsbjj!! He has more stripes on his belt than most of us could count, and is a huge part of the BJJ Community. You're just going to have to listen to find out about all the good stuff he's up to such as @bjj.downunder and what he has to share!!

Some guests come on the show ready to open up and show us a behind the scenes look at their life.  People like @yassy2101 help us to connect as a community when we realise that we are all dealing with stuff, and at the same time, can still do amazing things on the mats!  What a powerhouse and what a rockstar!  We love her!!

Lucas C Santana is another powerhouse from Legacy BJJ Sunshine Coast that you are going to want to get to know better! He has great views on reffing, training, competing and most importantly, how to deal with punks and skin heads 😉. Prepare to be entertained!! Ossssssss

This week on the Roll or Die podcast, we chat with @denis_kelly_mma of Australian Combat Sports Academy. Denis is one of the OGs of BJJ and MMA in Melbourne who came here via Ireland. Take a listen to his epic journey and plans for upcoming competition - Bushido Fight Night 3 is on at Thornbury Theatre on Saturday 30th July - @acsabushido

When we booked Robbie Singh, head coach at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Burwood, we had no idea how the conversation would unfold! He's an amazing contribution to society, and scrolling through is profile will show you just some of the ways in which is!  We also find out how a human being goes from 180KG's, to end up looking like this man!?! (and the impacts of that journey).  You just have to hear his amazing story!!  Ossssss

This week on the Roll or Die podcast, we chat with one of the most prolific martial artists in Queensland and indeed Australia, Geordie Lavers-McBain.

Welcome to Part 1 of the "Lavers-McBain Experience" with professional athelete Jessica Lavers-McBain.  She has great views on training and competing that you are certainly going to want to hear!  She's a little controversial (in a good way) so huddle up and listen in to what she's got to say.
