I sit down with Kaitlin of The Striking Institute and Jeremy and Jennie of MN Top Team to hear about their recent combining of powers. It sounds like a mutually beneficial move that has already drawn a few people to their more-and-more well rounded facility.

Thank you for listening to and supporting The Porrada Podcast. This time around I talk with newly adorned jiu-jitsu black belt, TJ Kreutzer. He's no stranger to the show but he's taken up teaching, is now a black belt, and has updates on We Defy Foundation so I had to have him on again!

There's a storm of excitement brewing in and around jiu-jitsu in Minnesota and the greater upper midwest. Behind the scenes there are multiple dorks with cameras and creative ideas helping to drive visibility and excitment. James is on of the big ones. With a variety of fighting experience, three amazing Uncommon Classic productions under his belt... his stock is exploding and I, for one, love it. So, to get know him and hear more about the UCC, I had to have him on the show. We sat down after training at M Theory Martial Arts and did the thing.

The fast approaching opening of the gigantic Isanti Grappling club prompted me to take Chris and I's relationship from DMing reels to hanging out on the microphones in my den. I had to hear about it. 2020 spoiled his first move toward his gym but this time around him and Mike Waverick are getting it done. @isantigrapplingclub
