Alain Pozo - the answer to the question is...

Lee Kirtley - Are you over-graded?

Lee Kirtley is a second-degree black belt based in Stockton on Teeside and runs Innovation Jiu Jitsu. Lee sits down with Scott and Alain for a candid chat about gradings, how he applies judo in nearly all of his classes as well as talking about how to go about getting promoted.

Mateusz Flaga - The Polish warrior

Today’s guest is the kind of grappler you hate seeing across from you on competition day. Calm face, bad intentions. A European Championship medallist, and one of the most consistently dangerous competitors on the international circuit. He’s gone toe-to-toe with the best in the world, stacked medals across IBJJF majors, and built a reputation for pressure, precision, and breaking people mentally before the tap ever comes. This is a man who’s done the hard rounds, travelled the world chasing wins, and backed it all up when it mattered most. No gimmicks, no noise, just results and receipts.

Enrico Wright - Mortal Kombat or Streetfighter?

In this episode of our The Reef podcast, the mats take a back seat as we roll into the world of gaming consoles. Scott and Alain swap stories about their favourite systems—from old-school PlayStations and Nintendos to next-gen powerhouses like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Expect plenty of laughs as they debate which console reigns supreme, compare gaming to grappling, and reveal how gaming helps (or hinders) recovery days. It’s a fun, off-topic chat that shows another side of the BJJ lifestyle—where fighting for arm bars meets fighting final bosses. Perfect for gamers who love jiu-jitsu
