The Degen BJJ Podcast features Irish Mike & Degen Drifter, two average guys coming to terms with their below average jiu-jitsu.
If you’re looking for a podcast that’ll improve your BJJ game, this likely isn’t it. If you found BJJ later in life, struggle to balance training around a busy schedule and appreciate BJJ culture on & off the mats; you’re in the right place. Enjoy some broad-ranging ramblings, tales from jiu-jitsu related travels and interviews with grapplers who are having more success than the hosts!

Episode 31: The Lisbon Connection
Welcome back, this is episode 31 of the Degen BJJ Podcast. This week Mike has nothing to say but still manages to talk for a prolonged period of time with minimal encouragement. Ken tells a story about Weymouth, despite having just returned from Portugal. Comp prep has started for the lads, but that doesn’t mean the podcast will be anymore focused.

Episode 30: Lots To Say About Nothing
This week on the Degen BJJ Podcast the lads talk about the importance of consistency in jiu-jitsu and podcasting. Mike explores his new passions, memeing and fish oil. While Ken laments his lack of recent progress on the mats before talking holidays and alcohol. Could it be the two are related?

Episode 28: Here We Go Again
Be careful what you wish for … the Degen BJJ Podcast is back. In this episode the lads attempt to pick up where they left off despite a little ring rust. The conversation covers Mike’s new found vigour for training, Ken's return from injury, a couple of away days and some hints of what is to come on the show this year. Also, for those that thought we’d spent some time away improving the quality or content of the show, there are a couple of technical issues and lots of confusion.
