Episode 45: The Orignal Degen Experience



This week on the Degen BJJ Podcast, the lads are celebrating. Mike and Ken are joined by two long-time friends of the show, Lucus North and Adam ‘Squishy’ Brown, for a few drinks. The quartet discuss the Mathouse 10-year anniversary celebrations, recent grading and much more. The conversation is unfiltered and, at times, unhinged. Listener discretion is advised.

Episode 43: Crackhead Summer

This week on the Degen BJJ Podcast, the heatwave hits and our hosts discuss their recent training. Ken gives a belated run down of his time with Icon Team Madeira, whilst Mike talks open mats - both near & far. Beyond the training chat the duo attempt to incriminate one another and float some future plans for the pod…. Though, if history is any guide, they probably won’t happen.
