ROLL OR DIE

Kazuki Umemura is a rare breed!  He has recognised a niche that he can really empower in the BJJ community and is empowering them.  Too often in todays world we feel compelled to support everyone, and then as a result, end up being unable to support anyone.   Dive in with us as we meet and talk to the amazing organiser of the awesome fb group Kazuki's BJJ for 40+ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/bjjfor40plus)

Jake O'driscoll is a grappler who keeps getting invited to be on big shows!  In this episode we take a look at what the secret ingredient is to make that happen.  He's also got some amazing tips for recovery that we'd never seen or heard of!  So sit back, and enjoy our conversation as we dive into the world of this legend. Osssssss

We love meeting, and chatting, with the new breed of grapplers.  They bring fresh ideas, and also breathe new life into older concepts.  Also, they kick butt out there on the mats.  Angus Tonkin is no exception to this rule.  We asked Dave Hart  who we should have on the show, "who's up and coming and somone to keep an eye on?".  He straight away answered "Angus Tonkin". He was right (not surprisingly).  So here he is.  Enjoy. Osssss

Welcome to Episode #103, as we are joined by the friendly and interesting Black Belt and also referee Werique Oliveira!   He's been on an amazing journey so far, and has lots of knowledge to share with our amazing community.  Ossssss

Its awesome when we have people on the show who have gotten amazing results (Adult Worlds at blue), and can help us get to the source of some of that goodness.  You'll find that in this episode with Varun Mehrotra!  Not only that, he's just an all round good guy who is easy to talk to and fun!  Enjoy! Ossss

If you didn't get to see Boa in person or on the stream, sorry to say but, you missed out! Spend a moment with us as we dive into the minds of these badass grapplers and what its like to bring home the belt and 5k.  Well done Nikki Lloyd-Griffiths and Cooper Burnham!  There are so many people who go into creating elite grapplers like these two, and we'd love to tag them all, but are not, because we will certainly leave people out by mistake! We will tag Sy Nadji and Thiago Stefanutti who turned themselves inside out to put on this amazing event!  Bring on the next one!

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.
