Brandon Mccaghren is a 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under Eddie Bravo and head coach at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Decatur.
Brandon joins the show to discuss the first season of his jiu-jitsu grappling league, The PGF (Professional Grappling Federation).
Brandon chats about the thought process behind having a “season format” for a jiu-jitsu tournament, why he dislikes judges decisions for tournaments, his unique rule set and point system for the league, and ideas for future expansion of the league.
We also talk about the importance of trust in your training partners when applying joint locks, why twisting joint locks are restricted for the legs but not for the arms, developing the ability to delegate, Brandon’s thoughts on the “EBI Overtime” tournament format, and much more.
Watch the tournament live and free every Friday night on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/TenthPlanetDecatur

0:22.7 | What's up, guys? So day on the podcast, we have my buddy, Brandon McAfrin. Brandon is down. He's a Black Belt. He's a 10th Planet Black Belt down in Decatur, Alabama. And that's not, I know it's not a good Alabama impression. So don't get angry at me if you're from Alabama. And you feel offended by that. But anyway, Brandon's on the show. And he's talking about with us. He's going to be talking about, we talk about a lot of stuff because Brandon and I are buddies and we'll go off the rails and easy and easy to talk to. But primarily we're talking to him about his professional |
0:28.9 | grappling federation, the PGF. So one of my students has been competing in it. It's a really |
0:33.4 | neat idea of this ongoing competition, almost like a basketball, like playoff type thing. |
0:40.3 | It's a really interesting concept that he'll talk about in the podcast. But I think it's really |
0:44.1 | interesting. It's something where hopefully it continues to go and I can help jump into it and support |
0:48.0 | it as well because I think it would be great to offer more competition to people. So again, |
0:52.6 | he'll talk more about that during the podcast. |
0:55.3 | As always, guys, thank you guys for being with us. |
0:57.5 | And big thanks to our sponsors. |
0:59.1 | First one is obviously Charlotte's Web. |
1:00.6 | We've been talking about them forever. |
1:02.5 | I found it really interesting statistic the other day that said, |
1:06.9 | and again, this is one of the reasons why I like Charlotte's Web, |
1:09.8 | is that 70% of like CBD products, and I didn't really realize this, but apparently the American Medical Association says that 70% of CBD products based on the ones that they sample don't contain the CBD stated on their label. So basically it'll say you get this much CBD, this much cannabinoids, whatever. And it's not necessarily true. It's all over the place. |
1:29.7 | And I thought that was interesting because I remember back in the day when I first got into |
1:33.6 | CBD because I was like trying to take it. And I started taking it mainly for like muscle aches |
1:39.1 | and pains and to help me sort of support my training and stuff like that. And I noticed that when I would use different, you know, types of CBD, like the effects were |
1:48.9 | not always the same. |
1:50.1 | Sometimes I would take it and I would literally feel high. |
1:52.7 | And then other times I would take it like a different brand and I felt nothing at all. |
1:56.3 | And so one of the things with Charlotte's Web is that the third party tested, which I think is an |
2:01.6 | important thing with an unregulated product, which means that everything that it says it's in |
