I'd say buckle up, but this 70s music sampler for BJJ is a seatbelt-free time machine, like half the cars tearing up the roads back then. Packed with rock, funk, pop, hard rock, Motown, punk, new wave, soul, metal and post-punk—pure fuel for your burning jiujitsu spirit.
Bonus points if you're rolling up to the club in a second-gen Camaro (extra points if it's metallic blue, paint code paint code 27, 6208, WA6208) with the windows rolled down and this blasting on the speakers.
70s era energy mirrors the intensity we bring to the mats—funky rhythms from Stevie Wonder for guard passing, the chaos of a scramble matches the punk energy of the Sex Pistols and when Immigrant Song hits, you'll be smashing through guards like a Viking raiding party.

Variety For the Mats
A lot of our playlists here are focused—boom bap, jungle/drum n bass, hair metal are all encapsulate a single style or genre. These decade samplers are a musical grab-bag, with the only common theme being that they're songs selected to be good for the mats.
