Off the Mats Podcast

What's up, people? This week on the podcast, I sit down with the profoundly inspiring Adisa Banjoko—a true renaissance man whose life bridges martial arts, music, philosophy, and youth empowerment. As the founder of Hip Hop Chess Federation and 64 Blocks, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, philosopher, author, educator, and podcaster, Adisa brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective to the conversation. We explore his journey through martial arts and hip-hop, the creation of the HHCF and how it spawned 64 Blocks, and how chess, BJJ, and lyrical expression combine to elevate at-risk youth. Adisa shares powerful stories about mentorship, the mental game of jiu-jitsu, and the role Stoic philosophy plays in life both on and off the mats. We also dig into his community-focused initiative, 64 Blocks, and what it means to build programs that cultivate resilience, creativity, and responsibility. From chaining submissions to composing rhymes, Adisa draws surprising parallels between combat and art—and he even reveals what's more mentally taxing: rolling with a world champ or playing a deep chess match. This episode is packed with wisdom for coaches, grapplers, creatives, and anyone striving to live with greater purpose and presence.

What's up and welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Eli Adams, martial artist and host of the Combat and Coaching Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends pop culture and personal insight. We kick things off with a deep dive into our mutual love for comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and The Walking Dead, before shifting gears into something many grapplers can relate to—getting back to the gym after time away. Eli opens up about the anxiety and internal resistance that can come with returning to martial arts training, as well as the challenges of finding that spark again when motivation runs low. We talk about managing social exhaustion, the emotional toll of coaching, and the meaningful responsibility that comes with being a mentor. To wrap things up, we geek out over recent horror releases like Final Destination: Bloodlines and Sinners, comparing notes and sharing early impressions. Whether you're here for the mats or the movies, this one's got a little bit of everything.   To keep up with Eli and his continued journey, you can follow him on Instagram at @eli.adams and to keep up with the podcast, follow @combatandcoachingpodcast   We want to shout out @johnsfitmeals Head over and use promo code Mad10, and you'll get 10% off.   Thank you, again, to everyone for listening to and supporting the podcast up to this point.

What's up, friends and family? This week on the podcast, Moe Brown returns to catch us up on everything he's been up to both on and off the mats. Moe discusses launching his own clothing brand and his mission to give back by sponsoring emerging athletes. He shares the creative inspiration behind his designs and why this venture means more than just merch. We also dive into his volunteer work teaching jiu-jitsu at local preschools and how he finds balance between training, work, and other physical activities. Of course, no Off the Mats episode is complete without a little talk about jiu-jitsu injuries—this time, we compare our battle-scarred fingers. We shift gears to discuss the current MMA landscape, including the enduring mystique of Conor McGregor and the latest news on Jon Jones.

What's up, nerds? This week on the podcast, Maryland Phil joins me for a deep dive into Marvel's Thunderbolts—or the New Avengers? We unpack our thoughts and feelings on the recent film, including our personal ratings out of 10 and what the name change might signal for the MCU's future. We take a closer look at each character's arc and background, drawing comparisons to Suicide Squad along the way. Our conversation expands into a broader critique of the MCU's various phases, its growing collection of TV shows, and how the Multiverse Saga might eventually wrap up. From standout character development to some serious storytelling missteps, we break it all down with our “Good, Bad, and Ugly” segment. And because we can't help ourselves, there's also a random sidebar about Tim Burton. It's chaotic, nerdy, and packed with opinions—just the way we like it.

Madeleine gives insight into her strategic approach to game planning, as well as the process of identifying and working on holes in her game. She opens up about how she balances mastering the fundamentals with exploring more advanced techniques, and how she mentally prepares for competition—battling nerves and staying focused. We also dig into one of the toughest lessons she's learned from stepping onto the mats, and how she unwinds outside of the competitive scene.

What's up, party people? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by my good friend and neighbor, Dana Zornes, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends fight talk, kettlebell competition, parenting, and personal growth. We kick things off with UFC chatter, diving into the rumors surrounding the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall matchup, follow-up conversation about UFC 314, and older UFC fights and how the sport has evolved over the years. From there, Dana gives an in-depth look at the world of kettlebell sport—breaking down team structures, competition divisions, and the unique lifts that make up the Kettlebell Sport World League. We also talk about the mindset of chasing numbers in the weight room, staying organized, and raising active kids in a world that sometimes doesn't value physicality. The episode wraps with an honest discussion about bullying, resilience, and how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can empower young people.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back! This week on the podcast, I sit down with Erin Herle—a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), and holder of a Master's in Sport & Performance Psychology. Together, we explore how mental coaching can transform an athlete's performance, how coaches can use psychology to lead more effectively, and why grapplers must train their minds just as diligently as their bodies. Erin breaks down what mental coaching truly is—and how it differs from therapy or everyday motivation. We dive into the common mental blocks she sees in combat athletes, and how to tackle competition anxiety and the fear of failure. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone looking to strengthen your mental game, this conversation is packed with insight you won't want to miss.   To keep up with Erin, head over to @erinherle on Instagram or you can check out @trainyamind also on Instagram.

What's up, y'all? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Coach Kevin Brewer, a U.S. Navy veteran turned Spartan athlete, mindset coach, and weight loss mentor with an inspiring story of resilience. Kevin opens up about his battle with injuries and illness, and the long, winding journey to reclaim his health through discipline and mindset work. We dive into the challenges of navigating today's overwhelming maze of health advice, online gurus, and misinformation, and Kevin shares how these experiences shaped his mission to help others cut through the noise. We talk about the often-overlooked biases in “healthy” eating advice, and the need for validation when building new habits. Kevin also offers insight into the world of Spartan Races—from how the courses are structured to what challenges him the most.

We break down the differences between gi and no-gi, exploring how each style shapes a fighter's strategy and mindset. Shawn also shares an insightful analogy, comparing jiu-jitsu to a dance — emphasizing the importance of finding a good training partner who can match your rhythm. We then shift gears to talk about the UFC and why being a good trash talker can be just as valuable as being a good fighter.

What's up, Nerds??? This week on the podcast, we nerd it up as I sit down with returning guest Mike Leng to dive deep into the ever-evolving landscape of nerd culture. We kick things off with a discussion on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how its trajectory has shifted over the years before exploring James Gunn's vision for the DC Cinematic Universe and what it could mean for longtime fans. Our conversation then takes a nostalgic turn as we examine Star Wars and its heavy reliance on familiar elements—does it enhance the franchise or hold it back? From there, we journey into the intricate and immersive world of Warhammer 40K lore and the growing appeal of the franchise. We also geek out over Legos and Lord of the Rings, celebrating the creativity and enduring impact of these beloved franchises. Mike and I also tackle the topic of toxic fandoms, discussing how online communities can both uplift and tear down the things they claim to love. Finally, we reflect on the importance of passing down nerd culture to the next generation. How do we introduce kids to the things we love while avoiding the pitfalls of gatekeeping and toxicity? Whether you're a lifelong fan or just getting into nerd culture, this episode has something for everyone.
