Learning Guillotine, James' Unbeatable Closed Guard, and Philippine Taboo Culture
It’s just RJ and James in the studio today — and you already know when it’s just us, the convos get real and wild at the same time. We kick things off talking about gym takeover etiquette (aka how NOT to be that guy), James breaks down his new class techniques for the week, and RJ gives the inside scoop on his recent roll — no sugarcoating. Then it gets deeper… we talk about split personalities on and off the mat — is your jiu-jitsu self the REAL you, or do we all carry different versions of ourselves? Finally, we dive into taboo topics in the Philippines — the things people don't want to say... but we kinda say anyway. Real talk, real rolls, real laughs. Tap in!
