251: Rolling with Black Belts

Roll Models Wanted: Gripping Conversations about Jiu-Jitsu and Life · Nov 5, 2026 · 26m

In this episode of Roll Models Wanted we discuss the results of a recent poll that we put out asking about what you want out of a roll with a Black Belt that isn't your coach.

We dive into our thoughts on what it's like as a Black Belt rolling with people we don't know, as well as what we see at open mats.

We also take a moment to answer Amy's question that we missed from episode 250 about the difference between being a coach and a teacher.

We do have some small sound issues in this one, but don't worry, they don't last the whole episode.
