"THIS. IS. EPISODE 300!"
The HIT Squad has been referenced on the podcast many times but today we are going to give you the real scoop.
16 years ago someone decided to invest a lot of money into an abandon army depot with the hopes of making the first ever "MMA Super-Gym."
The gym ran for 3 years before having to sell, in that time they changed tons of lives, produced multiple TUF/UFC Fighters, and shifted the course of a small Illinois town forever.
So today I'm joined by my coach, former UFC Fighter, and former Hit Squad BJJ Coach, Kyle Watson(@watson_martial_arts). Kyle and I(@thejoshmckinney) share stories, critiques, and lessons learned from the 3 years that we spent at "The Greatest Gym of ALL TIME*"

In this sizzling hot takes episode, we dive into a wild mix of questions and opinions guaranteed to spark debate (and maybe a few laughs). What would you do if the guy who bullied you in high school showed up to open mat? Is No-Gi really easierâor just more practical for a street fight? Plus, we tackle the IBJJF scoring system, Masters divisions, and the ultimate mystery: Do aliens exist? Oh, and letâs not forget a quick detour into Kangaroo Jack and why that movie mightâve broken trust forever. Itâs Episode #297, and nothing is off-limits!

Can 2 Officers Make a Difference?
Ross Tyler (purple belt) and Sam Luna (brown belt) think so!

Does Size Matter?
In this episode of the "I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show," we're tackling 10 of the most persistent myths in the BJJ world. From the idea that size doesn't matter to the misconception that all black belts know everything, we're breaking down the beliefs that might be holding you back.
We'll explore why not all black belts are created equal, touching on the 80/20 principle and how a small percentage of practitioners hold a vast majority of the knowledge. Weâll also challenge the notion that Jiu-Jitsu is just about memorizing techniquesâbecause in reality, it's an adaptive, ever-evolving art, not a rigid list of moves to recite.
Plus, we'll brutally debunk ideas like "never tap to pressure" and the flawed mentality of "you just shouldnât get there." This episode is all about challenging what you think you know about Jiu-Jitsu, encouraging you to question the status quo, and helping you see the art from a fresh perspective.
Tune in for a myth-busting discussion that might just change the way you approach your training!
