Episode 85 - Karate vs BJJ

After around 9 months of training in BJJ, here are my thoughts on the differences in etiquette, rolling compared to sparring, competition, and sports v self-defence.

I've been browsing some BJJ forums and pages recently, and it’s wild to see how many people are completely one-sided, only seeing how BJJ tops every other martial art! I’ve been training in BJJ for a year now and absolutely love it, but it has its flaws, just like karate. A few months back, I recorded a podcast episode comparing my experiences in BJJ and karate. If you haven't listened yet, check it out here:

A few weeks ago my good friend Josh Simmers and I had a chat on his Okinawa Karate Podcast about all things Karate, Jiu Jitsu, and Martial Arts but what we forgot to discuss were the REAL topics like our love of Rocky, Orion, and The Bear. Maybe next time😎

I’m not sure how to link the episode, but if you haven’t already subscribed to his wonderful podcast, please do ASAP!

OUT NOW - 72 - Has Kata Ruined Karate?

What If There Were No Kata?

So has Kata ruined karate? Do we put too much emphasis on kata, especially for gradings? Is there too much kata?

We know so little about kata, in all seriousness, we don’t know the original intention of kata - those that were created 100+ years ago.

So has kata ruined karate?
