BJJ instructor. Can roll while conducting a normal conversation. Has a YouTube channel where he makes terrible Jiu Jitsu puns. The philosopher of the gym. He delivers the series' closest thing to a thesis statement without a shred of irony, upside down, in a room full of people also upside down. Wh... [See More]

Enormous. Bright red skin. Tight singlet. Muscles that seem like an affront to physics. Brian is a man who believes deeply in technique - and he is not shy about demonstrating it to others in the gym. Episode 7 is entirely his. He is completely earnest. There is zero irony in anything Brian does. Th... [See More]

Episode 8 is Jenny's episode - a horror-comedy POV of what it's like to be a woman in a gym full of men who won't stop staring. She doesn't say much. She doesn't need to. When Aiden taps her on the shoulder at the wrong moment she nearly takes his head off. Her 'Nuh uh. Go on. Get.' is a complete ch... [See More]

Small, quiet, polite, and absolutely devastating. Unassuming Muay Thai assassin. She partners with Aiden in his first Muay Thai class and dismantles him with complete calm - not cruelty, just competence. Her 'Just keep showing up. That's all it is.' is the first unironic moment of warmth in the seri... [See More]

Variety of characters. Basically we are looking for characters who can move through Jiujitsu positions while delivering dialogue, landing jokes, delivered with sincerity. What we need: Comfort with physical and verbal comedy simultaneously. Physical/technical note: BJJ experience essential.

Bounces and shadow-boxes near the doorway. Everyone ignores Randy. All Randy ever says is 'RINGA DING!' and the entire gym responds in unison like it's muscle memory. It's unexplained. It will remain unexplained. Jake stares down anyone who laughs at it. What we need: Committed physical energy. Nee... [See More]

No-nonsense. Shredded. Tattooed. His primary comedic function is being catastrophically loud at the exact wrong moment - Aiden tries to whisper a problem to him mid-class and Adam bellows it across the room. Also appears in Episode 9's Big Ben fantasy sequence, blowing his whistle in rhythm. What w... [See More]

Aiden is 28, broke, and still living in his parents’ garage. He’s got no job, no prospects, and one all-consuming obsession: Mixed Martial Arts.

Jacked, charming, and aggressively friendly in a way that keeps you slightly on edge. Jake runs the floor of the gym with an enormous grin that never quite switches off. He’s the first person to haze Aiden and the first to claim him. His hazing IS his warmth - that's important. He does a Bruce Buffe... [See More]
