After listening to the recent JRE fight companion podcast I found myself seriously missing EBR. I thought I should share my small story of what it meant to me and the world and what an impact it made.
It was EBR that inspired me to take my very first BJJ class. I was already a brand new UFC fan training kickboxing at a high level MMA gym, but I was intimidated by the sweaty grappling room upstairs (and the goofy Gi outfit). When EBR started becoming my favorite podcast (even more so than JRE) It took maybe 8-10 episodes before I broke down and took my first jiu jitsu class. This started me on the path to becoming one of the most dedicated 10th planet ronin out there. Now I am fully realized... it is without a doubt my calling to support, represent and spread the 10P mentality around the world. Therefor EBR started not only me on the path of jiu jitsu but everyone that I reach out to, touch and encourage. It is a snowball effect for sure. Imagine the potential for growth of the system.
Now I will admit I can be lazy when it comes to things I am not passionate about. I'm not sure if I would have the desire to make the time to record a podcast every week if it was up to me. Thinking about all the lives it could change, how much it might expand and grow the popularity of the system, and recently how it could be used to promote and sell EBI pay per views... I am personally ready and waiting for the return of EBR podcast.
