Ep. 13: Frankie Lopez - B-Team

In this episode I sit down with Frankie Lopez, from B-Team Jiu Jitsu in Austin, Texas. Frankie shares how he started training with the Danaher Death Squad (DDS) in Puerto Rico as a white belt, what it was like transitioning into the B-Team after the DDS split, and how being the smallest guy on the mat shaped his style.

We talk wrestling, competition mindset, and how Frankie's Jiu Jitsu evolved from a leg lock-heavy guard game to wrestling-focused offense. Plus, he opens up about his European seminar tour across Slovenia, Austria, and Spain, sharing techniques and building community across the no-gi scene.

Whether you're a new white belt, a smaller grappler trying to survive big rolls, or just a fan of real stories from the mats — this one’s packed with insights, laughs, and just enough chaos.
