From The UK To The Bay: Uncle Jay's First Roll Through America
In this episode of Tap Talk, RJ reunites with returning guest and fellow BJJ brother Jay, host of the Better Than Average Podcast and owner of a brand-new jiu-jitsu gym in the UK. Jay’s in California for the first time ever, and we catch him mid-tour of Northern Cali – from the Bay to the mats, and everywhere in between.
We dive into what it’s like building a BJJ gym overseas, the culture shock of landing in the States, and the shared language of jiu-jitsu that brought us together in the first place. From lifting to rolling to navigating life as a half-British, half-Filipino martial artist — this one’s packed with laughs, real talk, and good vibes.
