This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Scott Miller — a 3rd-degree Jiu-Jitsu black belt, former collegiate wrestler, owner of Evergreen Jiu Jitsu, and world-class coach who’s spent decades refining the art of grappling. With a foundation in wrestling that began at just six years old, Scott has gone on to become a respected mentor to both everyday practitioners and UFC fighters competing at the highest levels.
We dive into Scott’s journey from earning his black belt in 2013 to overseeing seven affiliate academies and shaping the games of athletes like Brandon Royval, Anthony Smith, and Cody Brundage. He opens up about what it means to blend wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu for MMA, the lessons he’s carried from training under Neil Melanson, and why he believes efficiency and adaptability are at the heart of good grappling.
Scott also shares stories from teaching and training around the world, plus how his YouTube channel helps spread knowledge to grapplers of all levels. If you’re serious about the art—whether as a competitor or a lifelong student—this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
