We discuss:• The rise of the Alabama Twisters team• Why PGF rules create more action than traditional tournaments• The contrast between PGF and other grappling leagues• Why stalling calls actually improve matches• How PGF athletes are building real careers in jiu-jitsu• The philosophy behind posting your losses online

We also talk about the difference between promotions that build brands around organizations versus promotions that build brands around athletes.
