The Fighters Drinking Coffee Podcast: Streamline your Jiu-Jitsu Training from Our Experiences (Episode 0)
Hosts Scott Dance and Michael Sutherland share their 40 years of combined grappling experience with you, the listener. They have done things the hard way in the past and have learned better ways to train, prepare, compete and coach because of it. They plan to convey these experiences and discoveries through this podcast to help you streamline your Jiu-jitsu experience!
Welcome to Fighters Drinking Coffee with hosts Scott Dance and Michael Sutherland — two grapplers with roughly 40 years of combined experience who share the hard-earned lessons they wish they’d known earlier. In this episode they lay out the podcast’s mission: to compress mistakes (bad training, brutal conditioning, awful weight cuts, and training through injuries) into practical, safer, faster ways to improve your jiu-jitsu.
They preview topics you can expect on the show: technique simplification, smarter training plans, competition prep, injury avoidance and recovery, along with guest interviews, fun segments, and listener-driven features like Combat Confessions and Q&A.

Welcome to the Fires Drinking Coffee podcast, guys, where we look to streamline
00:00:14.528 --> 00:00:19.825
your jiu-jitsu. We are your hosts, Scott Dance and Michael Sutherland.
00:00:20.608 --> 00:00:26.553
We have, between us, about 40 years of combined grappling experience,
00:00:27.368 --> 00:00:30.788
and we did things the hard way back in the day.
00:00:30.788 --> 00:00:36.158
We've been training together for a long time, and we did a lot of,
00:00:36.158 --> 00:00:40.804
you know, probably ill-advised training sessions and stupid conditioning and,
00:00:41.251 --> 00:00:44.418
you know, bad, awful weight cut ideas.
00:00:44.418 --> 00:00:48.385
Injuries, mistakes in competition and in training.
00:00:48.565 --> 00:00:53.238
Training through injuries that we probably shouldn't have and now have lingering shit, I'm sure.
00:00:54.475 --> 00:01:02.375
And so we, our mission here on the podcast is to take those experiences and to.
00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:08.459
Just compress them, boil them down and give you guys a more streamlined process
00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:12.749
for your jujitsu, uh, make your lives a little easier. Cause ours were,
00:01:12.749 --> 00:01:16.769
you know, we did it the hard way so you can do it the easy way is what we like to say.
00:01:17.245 --> 00:01:21.449
Um, so we're trying to make your jujitsu a little bit easier so you can get
00:01:21.449 --> 00:01:24.999
a little better, a little faster. And we'll have a little bit of fun along the way.
