#289 Polaris 24 Preview Midwest Finishers Recap

A breakdown and recap of the weeks professional BJJ and grappling events.  Every week we recap what has happened in the world of sport Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and preview the following weeks grappling events.

Love the team’s breakdown of all things Jiu Jitsu / grappling. These are Jiu Jitsu guy’s who know their stuff but aren’t affiliated with an organization so there isn’t bias, just real dialogue. I really enjoy their event previews before events like IBJJF worlds because there is so much going on, it is easy to get lost without their details and backstory. I actually subscribed to Flograppling because of all the great events they discuss. They know their stuff and add their own training flavor. Not to mention Maine, Josh, Emil and others are funny as hell. It is a life long dream for me to be competing in an event the preview or recap.

Keeping my grips tight on the grappling world

This podcast is very well done.  You get a lot of juicy information mixed in with real-time humor.  Josh and Maine break things down so even a stupid white belt like myself can understand.  Keep us informed and laughing guys.

Great Show
