Breaking The Guard Podcast

My social feed has had quite a few posts from MMA journalists about fighters "not training seriously" because they are 30-40lbs over their weight class - something that anyone who is in the field knows is a standard weight cut now. I talk about what the current weight cutting situation is, the consequences, and a system I believe could fix it all.

Rob and Dave go over the recent bout between Demian Maia and Ben Askren in the UFC, and break down the differences between BJJ, Wrestling, and MMA and who represents what.

They also go into the reluctance wrestlers have to learning more BJJ, and a bunch of other topics along the way.

Dave and Rob have a fun and informative chat with the creator of McDojoLife, featured on various media outlets, including the Joe Rogan Experience, Robert Ingraham to the podcast.

Robert didn't create the term McDojo, but he definitely refined it and has went on a campaign to identify schools that qualify to be labeled as such for the good of the people. He lists the 5 transgressions a martial arts academy can make to qualify for as a McDojo, and also the responsibility he has to make sure he doesn't target undeserving schools.

From no touch knock outs, pedophiles, fake black belts, or scam artists, Robert has seen them all, and shares stories of his encounters. He also goes into his upcoming documentary, and much more.

Just a fair warning, this episode has a good amount of cursing (not with any hostility), so if you got kids around, you might want to cover their ears. :)
