    On this episode I cover my history with teaching kids. The massive benefit that an instructor can get from starting at the kids level, along with some tips on how to approach it.

  • E25 | Bonus Ep - Trends Vs Effectiveness
    Jul 12 2025

    In this episode we discuss my journey and all the different fads that I've come across and how none of them truly determine what's effective in Jiu-Jitsu. Often times, what's popular is just that.. what's popular.
