 Welcome back to The Winners Circle, the official podcast of the Martial Arts InterNetwork (MAiN)! Hosts Eugene Plowen and Isaiah Gatherings dive into the latest in jiu-jitsu, MMA, and combat sports, along with a passionate debate and a BJJ technique breakdown.This Week's Topics:
  • Are Boxing and Wrestling True Martial Arts? A deep-dive debate on whether these combat sports meet the criteria of "martial arts," designed for war, self-defense, and weapon use, or if they are simply rule-bound sports.
  • Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua Rumors: The guys give their surprising take on the potential matchup between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the former heavyweight champion, including why one host believes Paul could pull off the upset.
  • The Lions' Win and the Blueprint: Reaction to the Detroit Lions' victory over the Giants and why a weak win can be worse than a loss for a championship-contending team.
  • The Professor's Perspective: Move of the Week: Eugene breaks down a simple yet highly effective Jiu-Jitsu guard pass for dealing with those annoying partners who try to "scissor" or squeeze your ribs tight from the closed guard.
