BJJ Charleston Podcast

The BJJ Charleston Podcast explores the people, stories, and experiences that shape the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community in Charleston, South Carolina and beyond.

Hosted by David McWilliams, each episode features conversations with athletes, coaches, academy owners, competitors, and everyday practitioners from across the Carolinas and around the world. While Jiu-Jitsu is the common thread, the discussions go far beyond the mats.

Guests share stories of success, failure, adversity, resilience, entrepreneurship, family, recovery, personal growth, and the lessons they've learned along the way. Whether you're a lifelong grappler, a casual fan, or simply interested in hearing compelling human stories, you'll find something here.

Real people. Real conversations. Real stories.
