On this week's episode Tim has decided to stop being polite and start being real. We break down some of the new IBJJF rules for 50/50 and some old pet peeves.
Since Master Donnie was last on the show his comments about ADCC have gone viral, he's promoted another set of students to black belt, and is now preparing a group of his homegrown elite competitors for their first IBJJF European Open.
Master Donnie (MD) has taught at Team Lloyd Irvin headquarters in Camp Springs, Maryland for 23 years. Over the course of that time he led the Team Lloyd Irvin Kids to IBJJF Kids Pan Team Titles, NAGA Team of the Decade Awards, and coached several Black Belt World Champions including Shane Jamil Hill-Taylor whom he taught from DAY ONE.
In this episode The GOONS and MD discuss: what it takes to create a successful team, how to train athletes for major tournaments, what he wants to see change in the sport, and a whole lot more.
And we're back. The first show of 2023 and so much has gone down. This week Nico and Tim discuss Dana White's costly slap and Dillon Danis' latest fight cancellation.

We're baaaaack! It's been a rough month and due to technical difficulites beyond our control we missed 2 weeks of the Best BJJ Podcast out there. Our bad.
On this episode we talk about our buddy Danis and his upcoming fight with KSI in England. We also get into Black Panther and we do our best to not drop any spoilers while doing it.
With the holidays coming up it's important to remember to stay thankful. This weekend had to give props to two major events here in the U.S.A and Abu Dhabi. One of Tim's old homeboys made his debut in boxing. For better or worse he won his first match proving that influencers got them hands.
It was definitely an interesting weekend of results in the martial arts worlds. Izzy lost his belt to a Brazilian in the Octagon. Unfortunately things didn't go too well for the his counrymen on the mats. If your all caught up on episodes sign up for Patreon 2 extra episodes a week! www.patreon.com/bjjgoons

Thalys Pontes is the #1 ranked Brown Belt in the world and the owner of TAP World Class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a successful and growing academy in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Although Thalys' future looks as bright as the gold medals he wins, Thalys had to GRIND to get to this point. Escaping the dangers of the streets of Brazil, going through the ranks with PSLPB Cicero Costa, and finessing US immigration are part of his rise to success in the Jiu-Jitsu industry. Thalys' story is so epic we had to make two parts. You're going to love it.

Over the last decade the grappling industry has seen an influx of athletes forgoing traditional employment to pursue the life of a full-time jiu-jitsu competitor. I can't lie, it's cool gig. You get to spend your days training, travel the world, and get giant novelty checks. But there is more to the BUSINESS of the Jiu-Jitsu game than being underneath the bright lights of PPV events or IG Posts with overused quotes. You need to have and plan to make a living for yourself because the industry is cutthroat. This week, Nico and I give you the cold hard truth of what it's like going "full-time" in BJJ, so that you can make a conscience decision on whether it's right for you. - MUSHMASTER
