Ever had Gi Burn on your face? Lost some skin cells from rolling? Skin care is a topic that is not really talked about in the BJJ game especially for men. Off the back of the Staph discussion the boys felt that it's worth addressing what you can do to protect your first layer of immunity against infection. JT & Joey have very different skin types and different approaches for dealing with healing wounds and preventing infection.

Being able to tell the difference between real science and pseudoscience has never been more important, especially given the staggering amounts of misinformation and disinformation being circulated on a daily basis. In this episode I talk with Jonathan Jarry, a scientist who works for McGill University's Office for Science and Society, which uses the tagline 'Separating Sense from Nonsense'. We cover some of the most blatant red flags that you're dealing with pseudoscientific claims, charlatanry, grifters, and fake experts. I hope you find this useful! Stephan Kesting P.S.

Do belts still matter? Is the martial arts Hierarchy outdated? Which ever side of the fence you are on seniority and authority provides structure and gives direction. If you love the modern movement in BJJ toward No-Gi submission grappling, you may not respect the old ways and don't see the need for belts as long as you are skilful grappler. There are many world class athletes who have only trained a short period of time and built very effective games that are beating much more experienced blackbelts. From 10th Planet to DDS and now the B-Team, do these rebels of the new school have the next step in the evolution of the art? Or are the traditional standards of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu still relevant and key to developing great grapplers?
