About Degen BJJ

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!
