About this listen

In this episode of Unknown Pressures we discuss the recent Polaris Squads event. Matt talks about the evolution of Polaris over the past decade, and the many challenges faced in organizing an international grappling event, and how Polaris created a sustainable business model while other events came and went.

We also talk about the future plans for Polaris, including expansion in 2026 and the creation of a feeder league that will help develop talent to compete on the pro show.

Unknown Pressures is a jiu-jitsu podcast brought to you by two long-time industry insiders: Matt Benyon, the co-founder of Scramble and Polaris, and Hywel Teague, creator of BJJ Hacks, jiu-jitsu / grappling commentator and analyst and formerly of FloGrappling.
