Greg Sounders and his team at Standard Jiu Jitsu are at the forefront of the ecological learning approach to Jiu Jitsu. We sit down with two of his students - Deandre Corbe, and Noah Shaffner - to understand how learning Jiu Jitsu in this fashion has impacted their journey, and has lead to incredible success on the competition scene. !0th Planet Springfield has recently embraced this style of teaching, and we were very interested to hear what its like from the students of Greg's at Standard Jiu Jitsu.

Another interview from our time on the road at the Finishers Summit. This time we sit down with 2x guest and 10th Planet Black Belt (for real this time) Rene Sousa. We talk to Rene about the summit, his training with JT Torres and the team at Essential BBJ, as well as his upcoming match at Who's Number One vs Nicky Ryan on August 10th.

Taking the show on the road to Finisher HQ - the home of 10th Planet Bethlehem and the main man Zach Maslany. The first of a series of sit-downs we had with folks at the first Finisher's Summit - We talk to Zach about the weekend, how he got things rolling, his relationships with the amazing instructors who participated, and more.

JT Torres - A 2-time ADCC Champion, multiple time IBJJF Champion, and owner and head-instructor at Essential Jiu Jitsu is on the pod!! We were lucky enough to take up some of JT's time when he visited Gracie Litchfield Hills for a recent seminar. We talked about JT's ability to lead from the front, how he views his role as a coach, preparing training camps, as well as his recent performance at ADCC and more. This was a bucket-list pod for us and we hope you enjoy it!
