We say funny things to each other when we're rolling around on the mat with our Jiu-Jitsu friends. This episode is all about the head-scratching, giggle-worthy quirks that only Jiu-Jitsu folks truly understand.

From proudly showing off bruises to the odd bowing when stepping from carpet to mat-like surfaces, we explore the endless scenarios that make our Jiu-Jitsu culture so uniquely its own.

We’ve had some reflective and intense episodes recently, but today we’re steering towards pure Jiu-Jitsu silliness - bruises as badges of honor, the peculiar joy of “heaviness,” and why your friends might think you're trying to choke them during a hug (but seriously, who doesn’t love a good overhook?).

So whether you’re reminiscing about your latest gi burns or simply need to hear some Jiu-Jitsu banter when your rolling buddies are out of reach, this episode has got it all.
