The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 117: How & Why BJJ is Always Changing, Identity Politics

Season 1 · Episode 117

Wednesday, July 16, 2025 • Duration 01:12:50

As we all know, the sport of BJJ is always changing and evolving. Every competition is another opportunity to unleash a new move or attack, and the natural response that follows is, "How do we learn said attack and develop a solution for it?" I talk about trends in the sport, both old and new, kids’ BJJ, and staying ahead of the curve. I also discuss my most recent competition (Grappling Industries Vancouver) and some other current issues, such as Derek Moneyberg, Tim Kennedy's stolen valor, Ben Askren, Randy Couture, and antifascist freedom fighters, in the comments section.

The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 18: Surviving Front Headlocks

Season 1 · Episode 18

Wednesday, August 9, 2023 • Duration 57:02

This week is all about front headlocks! Do you constantly get caught in annoying guillotines and kata gatames (what the hell is even that)? We take a deep dive into front headlocks from both an offensive and defensive perspective. Front headlocks are one of my absolute favourite submission systems. I can’t stress this enough- every single grappler must have these skills in their toolbox. I hope you enjoy the show!

Season 1 · Episode 12

Wednesday, June 28, 2023 • Duration 01:13:24

This episode is for the beginners! Are you brand new to Jiu Jitsu? Here is a survival handbook just for you. Jiu Jitsu is a complex language, and you will be expected to have full conversations with others even before you can understand any phrases. The consequence of not being able to carry the conversation is you getting pinned and strangled!
