About this listen

Look, we all know how hard it is to keep showing up to train. Life gets crazy, you get beat up, motivation tanks - and suddenly you're making excuses instead of making it to class.


That's exactly why we started this show. We're talking to competitors, coaches, and everyday grapplers from all over who've figured out how to keep coming back, even when everything's working against them.


You'll get real stories, practical tips, and those "holy crap, I needed to hear that" moments that remind you why you fell in love with this stuff in the first place.


The name says it all - "Mat Return" isn't just about putting your opponent back down on the mat (though we love that too). It's about you returning to the mat, again and again, even when it's the last thing you want to do.


Because here's the thing: showing up is the hardest part. Once you're there, you remember why you started.
