What's up, everybody?

For the milestone 250th episode of Off the Mats Podcast, we’re bringing together three longtime training partners—Kyle Prescott, Ronnie Masgay, and Mark Rollamas—for a deep dive into their unique journeys to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt. Having started together at Ivey League MMA before transitioning to Crazy 88 MMA, their paths to this rank couldn’t be more different.

Kyle, a dedicated hobbyist, shares how consistency and hard work guided his jiu-jitsu journey, while Ronnie breaks down the key skills and mindsets he instills in his students as their coach. Mark, a fierce competitor, reflects on how stepping onto the competition mats has sharpened his game and mental approach. The group also explores how music shapes the energy of the training room, the changes they’ve experienced since leveling up, and their evolving definitions of success at Purple Belt.

Whether you're a casual practitioner, a coach, or a competitor, this episode offers something for everyone on their jiu-jitsu journey. Tune in as we celebrate 250 episodes with a conversation packed with insight, reflection, and plenty of laughs.
