The Story Behind an Iconic Nickname and the Journey of Podcasting

This week, we're joined by "The Raspberry Ape," Daniel Strauss!  Daniel is a black belt under Roger Gracie and is the host of The Raspberry Ape Podcast.  In this episode, Daniel breaks down the concepts behind one of his favorite submissions, and arguably one of the best overall submissions in all of Jiu-Jitsu: the guillotine choke.
