Tap Often is the audio journal of a couple dopes, Alex and BJ. The world needed more podcasts from two out of touch men, and they answered the call. Join them each episode as they provide their thoughts on Jiu Jitsu, MMA, and Muay Thai. Maybe they'll get around to discussing hard training, fragile egos, bad ideas, worse decisions, and even worse knees.
Part 2 and the conclusion of our first interview with physical therapist, performance specialist, and founder of The Strong Angle, (https://thestrongangle.com/) Dr. Lyneil Mitchell (https://www.instagram.com/drlyneil/). If you can believe it, BJ and Lyneil are still talking about Pittsburg. We also talk about Madonna, training while being stuck with a desk job, and The Knee Machine.
