Get ready to talk with a dead set legend of the BJJ Community, Oliver Smith!  Part of the new school of BJJ, he has thoughts and ideas you are certainly going to want to osmose!  We've decided that every 100 episodes is a belt for the show, so now that we're podcast blue belts,  what a great way to kick off this new leg of the journey. Oh, and congratulations to Oliver Smith and Mel Bolton on their engagement!  The world can always do with more love! Osssssssssss

Wow! 100 Episodes already, and what better way to break into the next 100 than to review the last 50 with show editor, and Kim Cousins other half, Theo Potgieter. The only thing that's a match for our amazing list of guests is Dean Burgess' epic new intro song!!  Strap yourself in, as we drive down memory lane, then jump back and watch in full for any episodes that take your fancy. Thank you so much everyone for all the support.  As much as we love doing this, we wouldn't make these if you weren't watching them!

Who better to spend the final episode with, before we hit triple digit episode numbers, than legendary Dave Hart.  He delves into his grab bag of knowledge, and gives us great info for getting the most out of training, and many other nuggets you will certainly benefit from, and enjoy!

This week, take a walk on the Wildner side with the amazing Mary Wildner.  Meeting and talking with people who manage to balance their life and not sacrifice their training no matter how big their plate, and the items on it, is always inspiring, and Mary is no exception.  You are bound to grow as a human being in your approach to life by watching this episode.

There's no doubt that this man is "Wynning" at life! Outlook is almost everything, and  Conor Wynn is refreshingly humble, and at the same time committed to performing his best, and working with those around them to be the happiest and best versions of themselves too.  You are bound to unlock some part of yourself by listening to this episode, and create a little bit of freedom inside that complex mind of yours.

This week we got to chat with Matthew Chick and his wife Liz Chick.  Together, along with their children, they combine to make up Combat Therapy Centre.  As much as we love great gyms with normal aspirations, this one breaks the mold.  Yes, BJJ is probably some sort of therapy to you and I, but making BJJ to others who maybe couldn't access it is one of the strengths and missions of this club.  You just have to hear what they are up to.  Also Imagine being a black belt, and then having the privilege of strapping black belts around 2 of your kids waists, on the same day!  Statistically the chances of this happening are so low.  That's what recently happened  There's so much more to unpack here, so dive in with us to see wat this awesome family are up to. Ossss

It seems fitting that we follow on from last weeks show with the legendary Peter de Been.  He has views on BJJ that are unique and is also the man who created the AFBJJ (Australian Federation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu).  Find out how and why it was created among other great stories including the origin of BJJ into Australia in this powerful and fun episode. Anton also asks a question around self defense he's never asked before, and the answer is pretty amazing!

Well, this guy probably doesn't need an introduction, but here's one anyway!  John Bernard Will, the "Will" part behind Will / Machado BJJ Australasia is such a huge part of the origin of BJJ in Australia.  Not only that, he's a very down to earth family man who is still significantly evolving the art of BJJ.  How?  Well, take a listen and find out for yourself as we try to uncover a few nuggets you may not have heard before.

Fresh back from World Masters, Vicente Cavalcanti, Head Coach at Southside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. takes us through the journey from his Hotel Quarantine on the Gold Coast.  You wont want to miss this Christmas Special, and our last Episode for 2021, as we dive in and get to know this legend better. A huge Osssss to you, and a happy new year of grappling for 2022.

This week, we talk to Jason Roebig, head honcho at  Axis Jiu-Jitsu Academy Australia. Considering we've just been reading "Breathe" by Rickson Gracie, it seems so synchronistic that Jason is sitting with him in his facebook profile pic.  Dive on in with us and find out more about the amazing world and community that is BJJ.
