  • GRAPPLING HOUR with Sean Applegate
    Oct 3 2024

    In this episode, SEAN APPLEGATE shares invaluable insights into the importance of tape study, managing diverse personalities in the gym, and high-level competition strategies.

    This episode is a treasure trove of knowledge, providing essential guidance for athletes, coaches, and jiu-jitsu enthusiasts on furthering their BJJ knowledge. There are a few takeaways that I think give some fantastic insight into how you can put a better BJJ game together.

    Sean shares his journey of mastering tape study, the evolution of jiu-jitsu content on YouTube, and the art of goal setting for competitive athletes. He also provides a detailed breakdown of his coaching strategies for EBI and ADCC.

  • GRAPPLING HOUR with Eddie Bernal
    Jul 9 2024

    EDDIE BERNAL shocked audiences back at Lights Out Xtreme Fighting in May when he announced that he was retiring from MMA. At just 25, the announcement came as a shock to many of his family and friends.

    So in this interview, I wanted to give Eddie the opportunity to fully explain his reasoning for leaving the fight game -- as well as a chance to tell us what might be next for him.

    We also cover what happened in his last fight and I even start trying to brainstorm things he can start doing to help ease him into his post-retirement MMA life.

    Be sure to check this one out, as I think Eddie does a great job of talking about his impressive run as a mixed martial arts fighter. We've had a ton of fun covering his time in the cage over the years, but I'm quite certain this is far from his last time on the show.

    Cheers to a great career, Eddie.
