We are joined this week by the shy but competitive Sefo from Rise MMA. A Brown Belt under Cam Rowe, we talk about competing at the ADCC Trials in what perhaps is the toughest weight division, post trials refuelling, conquering fears on becoming a coach, being ok with losing matches and night before comp routines. Sefo is certainly one of the up and comers in the BJJ Scene and also had one of the most welcoming smiles as well

Craig Robinson is one of our most colourful guests to date. This episode has no censorship, so please block any young or sensitive ears from listening. Craig regales us with stories from the early garage days of Jiu Jitsu, through his guidance under John Will, through to current day running Robinson jiu Jitsu out of Mansfield and Benalla. Craig’s lack of filter is a testament to the amazing human that he is and he discusses in an authentic way his journey through drug and alcohol abuse in his early years and how mentors troubled youth to improve their lives.

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.
