Content Positioning

The Bad Jiu-Jitsu Podcast is a lighthearted and self-deprecating show hosted by BJJ blue belts Sean and Martyn, who train at Henshall BJJ in Manchester under black belt Steve Henshall. Embracing their status as incompetents, they offer candid conversations about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), sharing personal experiences, gym anecdotes, and reflections on training culture. With a blend of humor and genuine insight, the hosts aim to create an inclusive space for listeners at all levels of the sport.
