Episode 155 - The Future of Jiu-Jitsu Is TEAM Based

#BJJ #JiuJitsu #PGF PGF is changing — and the new format might be exactly what professional jiu-jitsu has been missing. On Episode 155 of BJJ Balance, Kenny and Matt break down the evolution of the Professional Grappling Federation, the move toward true TEAM competition, the new playoff structure, the possession arrow, All-Star weekend, performance money, and why creating actual team loyalty could completely change the way fans follow professional jiu-jitsu. Could PGF eventually become something that every elite grappler NEEDS on their résumé?We also somehow go from ringworm and peptides to Matt telling one of the wildest stories we've ever heard about hiding a high-school hickey, why jiu-jitsu might be the answer for dudes who need confidence, and Matt discovering that his mom may have faked personalized autographs from Budweiser girls when he was a kid.Yeah. This one goes places.Later, we get serious about why women should train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense, the false confidence untrained people can carry around, and what BJJ can realistically give someone during a dangerous encounter.Then we answer listener questions, including how to train when all you have is a grappling dummy, what to do if a normal BJJ membership isn't financially possible, finding open mats, becoming a temporary “jiu-jitsu nomad,” and building your own group of training partners.🥋 BJJ Balance — Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, culture, competition, and everything that happens when the conversation goes completely off the rails.Follow BJJ Balance on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Instagram and Discord.Train this week.Please Follow BJJ Balance on all of our socials:IG: @BJJBalanceDiscord: discord.gg/bjjbalanceTik Tok: @BJJBalanceYouTube: YouTube.com/@BJJBalanceKenny IG: @KennyDoesBJJMatt IG: @oss_nation_bjj
