Songs to Roll to - Chapter 5 - A Jiu Jitsu Playlist

Chapter 5 of our Nine Lives Spotify playlists is called Riot on Repeat, and it is exactly what it sounds like. Twenty-five punk tracks with zero patience: The Offspring, Bad Religion, the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Bad Brains, Minor Threat. Songs that were built in garages by people who did not ask permission, which, if we are being honest, is also how most of us learned jiu jitsu.

This one is for the fast rounds. Drilling with a timer, comp-pace open mat, the last round of the night when everyone silently agrees to go ten percent too hard. There is some ska and nostalgia mixed in so you can catch your breath, Sublime and 311 and a Boys of Summer cover that will put you right back in a summer you may not have been alive for. Fair warning, a few of these earn their explicit tag. It is punk rock. Headphones if your gym keeps the speakers family friendly.
