I found myself going back and forth with my opinion on this method while listening. This conversation ultimately helped me think more clearly about my overall coaching approach. A testament to a well constructed interview with great questions. Well done and thank you both.

Love this 🥋☯️💪

I'm a white belt, so this conversation is very important one that I've been having internally because I'm still scared.😂😅

Great conversation. Very wise.

100% agreed on the rulesets guiding away from slicers. I love using them through the beartrap and other positions as a form of control without access to gi grips.

Some good information in this!!

Omg. Fricking adorable.

Only thing that sucks about antibiotics is it kill 95% of all your gut bacteria Good and Bad. It can also take around a year for this gut level to get back to normal. There’s a time and place for everything. Go read Peak By Dr. Marc Bubbs

I love the emphasis on building autonomous learners. That’s the whole core of how my school operates as well and I love seeing more and more like minded people steering the ship in this direction.

Why use the British pronunciation for lever? It seems a bit extra.

Awesome knowledge gems Mr thanks❤

Great content Good Sir❤❤❤

David is an incredible instructor. His approach to teaching kids was wonderful and my family will always be grateful for our time on the mat with him. Thanks for sharing

I had the exact same situation after 8 yrs and being the first student. Dudes get on power trips and act like it’s high school

Loving your episodes with David. Can relate to them so much. Appreciate you for them 🔥🙏🏽💛🔥

I honestly can’t believe more people haven’t watched this. Favorite position in all of jiu jitsu.

Thank you for this vid 🙇🙇🙇

Love this thought process I think this style of thinking plus drilling, studying etc just thinking of grappling in different ways is and amazing way to learn.

Problem with most instructionals are they are priced according to duration, or that is how it seems. Would rather learn 3 things that I know will work in different situations

Wish I could give this episode more than one thumbs up. You unpacked lot of good stuff from learning dynamics to role of the instructor. If you get a chance read a bit of Paulo Freire’s theory about banking model of education vs problem based learning. I think it relates well to Eco and IP models.

Great episode! Really loved hearing this convo as a women who's been training for 5+ years

Agree 100%, a good coach knows when to give important details and when to keep their mouth shut and just let people work.

I love Greg

Great conversation. I now know who the fuck Josh McKinney is 😂

Satire is the best reply to your critiques. Loved it gentlemen 🎉

my opinion, i love this, i want to see how far we can take jiu jitsu. especially with the unique chokes.

Excelent!!

Brilliant conversation! The idea communism concept explained was phenomenal by Steve!

Matt Jean is on the button right

I was listening this to sleep from the middle and was like WTF :O xDDD then figured this out and checked the date of adding this on Spotify then came to KZbin for comments xdd

Excellent follow-up to the last time Jozef was on.. Read through Diago's will to win since the first time around.

I'm convinced. From today on, only flying armbars and triangles for me...

Choke people from inside their guard lmao. I have a friend who tries to cross collar choke me every time I pass his guard and get side control lmao.

april fools ?
