Welcome to the most offensive episode of ISAJJ yet!

In this episode, host Josh McKinney (@thejoshmckinney) sits down with Kyle Watson (@watsonmartialarts) and Junior Silva (@jrjbsilva) for an entertaining, crazy, and insightful conversation about all things jiu-jitsu. They discuss their experiences running their own gyms in the same area while being affiliated with the same organization, share some of their favorite competition stories and tips, and of course, talk some good-natured trash about each other's gyms(special apology to anyone who trains at Watson Martial Arts)

But that's not all -- in this episode, you'll also learn about Kyle's pet pig and how he manages to balance being a gym owner and a pig dad AND whether or not Josh and Junior can eat this pig. Plus, the trio delves into the mental and emotional aspects of competing in jiu-jitsu and shares their tips for staying focused and motivated.

You will also learn about Kyle's latest instructional's ..

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
