🥋 Gordon Ryan's 'Kingsway' Is Here

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

This Week’s Tap’s ✋, Nap’s 🥱 & Snap’s 🫰

We hear you. Time is money - you want your BJJ news, but you’ve got thangs to do … those training partners won’t tap themselves.

Here’s what’s doing the rounds in Jiu-Jitsu this week. Choose your own adventure. 👇

• We all know Craig Jones is pretty loose … but this one’s definitely up there

• Mica Galvao is a weapon … and Roberto Jiminez hates to tap

• Felipe Pena wants in on CJI #2 … but there’s no Gracie Barra team yet

• Another dodgy coach story comes to light … BJJ has a problem

• New Wave has undergone a rebrand … introducing Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu

• Guns, knives and suave suits … welcome to the John Wick invitational

• CJI #1 lost all the Day 1 revenue … gotta check those copyright laws

SUPPORT YOUR BJJ CREATORS

This week, we’ve got the best tracker on the mats - Whoop 💪

Want to know how much energy you burned stuck under side control for an hour hitting all of those sweet escapes? Whoop.

Want to know how much time you spent awake thinking about how trash your armbars are in a deep, satisfied and restful sleep after training? Whoop.

Want to know why, despite eating buckets of acai, everyone at your gym is getting stronger than you week after week? Can’t help you, sorry.

But, if you want to get a month free with the Whoop strap and sensor included, well …👇

QUESTION TIME

What Keeps You Up At 2 am?

We all know BJJ can take itself a bit too seriously sometimes.

Sure, it’s noble, aspirational and inspirational in many ways - but it’s also kinda funny at times.

If you put a bunch of grown adults in a padded room week after week, make them dress in spandex or weird pyjamas, and then force them to roll around on the floor with each other simulating murder - surely you’re going to come out with a few funny moments?

This week, we want you to spill the tea on the funniest stuff you’ve been a part of, seen or just heard of during your time on the mats.

Don’t worry, we will keep you and your stories completely anonymous - and remember, ‘embarrassing at the time’ usually means ‘funny later’.

Called the coach ‘Dad’? Farted under pressure? Blacked out and wet yourself? Gi pants ripped through the crutch? These are just a few examples of things that have definitely not happened to me 🙅‍♂️, but may have happened to you?👇

This week’s big question:

The last poll’s results:

Last time, we asked you - “Are You Happy To Train With The Opposite Sex?”

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ✅ - For sure!

⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 🚫 - Not really to be honest

🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 🤷‍♂️ - It definitely depends...

Gender isn’t the roll-ender here, most of you are up for training with whoever turns up, no matter the size or sex.

A few are still picking their partners carefully to avoid injury (smart move), while others are playing safe to avoid a relationship injury.

And one of you is taking the Craig Jones trolling approach for sure… 👇

BY BULLETPROOF FOR BJJ

The Weekly Fix

Last time, the lads jumped into the eco-debate with both feet by having Greg Souders, the ‘driller killer’ himself, on the pod.

This week, they are ripping your trash diet apart and serving it up hot & spicy. 😎

Eat Well To Give Em’ Hell …

Heads Up: Skipping carbs, eating like a toddler, and thinking coffee counts as breakfast aren’t doing you any favours.

Carbs give you the energy to train. Protein repairs the damage. Snacks should look like actual food, not a sad pastry. And hydration? It takes more than water — you need electrolytes or you’re just pissing your potential up the wall.

They also dismantle the food fads. Keto, carnivore, vegan, paleo — great for podcasts, terrible for performance if you don’t know what you’re doing.

It’s part roast, part masterclass, and probably the nutritional intervention you didn’t know you needed.

WHAT’S SO FUNNY?

The Meme Open Mat:

It should be illegal in every country 😬👇…

FREAK FOR THE TECHNIQUE

LIMI Never Misses…

We’ve given him plenty of props here before, but, LIMI BJJ does some of the best 10-minute jiu-jitsu lessons on the internet.

It’s rare to watch a clip of his without a lightbulb going off in some way - opening up a whole new idea, or simply refining something you’ve been playing with for ages.

The clip he dropped last week is no exception.
