In this hilarious episode of Inside BJJ, host Tim is joined by producer Andrew and the ever-entertaining Drew Darce Knight Foster. They kick off with a laugh-out-loud recounting of their bunk bed fiasco, highlighting the quirky adventures of jiu-jitsu life on the road. The conversation then shifts to the Professional Grappling Federation (PGF), insights on Craig Jones' latest moves, and the dynamics of the jiu-jitsu community. Packed with humor, insider tales, and practical tips, this episode is a rollercoaster ride that jiu-jitsu enthusiasts won't want to miss!

Episode 333: Do you get your car serviced regularly? Do you get a yearly check up at the Doctor? Funnily enough we BJJ Folks never do this when it comes to our physical function for rolling. Many of us do not want to know just how bad our injuries and accumulated damage is so we just ignore it until it's so bad we can't function. But what if it didn't have to come to this? JT & Joey are working a check up, a physical assessment that can let you know where you are at and then what to do about it. You may not be aware but for every year of BJJ you do there is a slow accumulation of wear and tear but this can be countered with a good routine of maintenance. When was the last time you had a physical check up? This is your call to action to take better care of yourself so you can enjoy training Jiu-jitsu for the long term.

Episode 329: Have you ever had a Private Lesson with your coach? Are they the secret sauce to boosting your skills, or just another checkbox for moving up the ranks? JT & Joey discuss the potential growth that comes from one-on-one sessions but also the ethical questions that arise when gyms link them to belt progression. With countless online platforms has this form of training lost some of it's appeal as more people learn BJJ on their laptop and phone. From it's original roots in early Brazil exclusively focused on 1 to 1 learning to the evolution of large franchise schools, we'll journey through personal tales and the strategic nuances that private training can bring—think stock trading, but with more arm bars and less risk of financial ruin.

Episode 322: Does your school have a strict uniform policy? Maybe your coach doesn't care what brand you wear. Uniform is a solid part of the BJJ Gym business but also helps bond the team together. But if you can't choose where you buy your Gi and rash guards is that fair or just another hidden scam within Jiu-Jitsu culture? There are arguments on both sides for and against uniform policies. A big team showing up to a competition unified and all wearing the same brand and colours looks professional and can really help give you a sense of belonging- being part of something. But being told you can only wear and have to purchase over priced team merch might be a deal breaker. JT and Joey unpack how this side of the BJJ business can really change your experience for the better and for the worse. Let us know what you think about JIu-Jitsu uniform policies in the comments.
