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.
