Put Your Holiday Downtime To Good Use with the BJJ Fanatics Podcast!

Get your mind right for 2019 with the Fanatics Podcast
The holiday season can be jam packed with more fun, friends, family and frivolity than any 2 week period should be able to hold. The downside to all of the festivities is a general increase in stress level, more opportunities to overeat and the general lack of 'peace on earth' most days. With days off of work and school, it can be a great time to take a break from vegging in front of the TV watching reruns of The Office to keep your jiu jitsu learning going.
If you haven't checked out the new BJJ Fanatics podcast, we've got you covered. In the first four released episodes (with more to come) Bernardo Faria and Michael Zenga, the masterminds behind BJJ Fanatics have had the opportunity to sit down with some of the preeminent minds and athletes out there today.
In the first episode, we had the highly regarded grappling and MMA Coach and instructor John Danaher talking about the history and role of the triangle submission in the history of martial arts. During this visit to the BJJ Fanatics studio, John was also in the process of filming his 5th installment of his Enter the System series, this time focused on the triangle choke in all of it's sankaku beauty.
