64. Never Always, Always Sometimes

On this episode of The Gi Spot Podcast, Kaz and Rach wrestle with one of those timeless martial arts paradoxes: “Never always, but always sometimes.” It’s the kind of cryptic wisdom from Rach’s coach that sounds like a riddle until you’ve rolled enough to realize it’s an unbreakable rule… until it isn’t.They unpack how this idea shows up in training, competition, and life on and off the mats: why “rules” in Jiu Jitsu are often flexible, how exceptions keep the art alive, and why the only certainty is that nothing is absolute. With their usual mix of sharp wit, dark humor, and real insight, Kaz and Rach remind us that BJJ is less about black-and-white rules and more about rolling in the grey.
