This week we have an interview with BJJ Black Belt Amal Easton. Amal is the rare person that has both been able to compete at a high level and produce high level competitors of BJJ and MMA.
We talk about:
- His start to BJJ
- Coaching jiu-jitsu
- How skying gave him grit that he used on the mats
- Moving to Brazil early in his BJJ journey
- How teaching BJJ has changed over the years
- The academy is a farm or a jungle concept
- Creating an environment that is good for everyone
- Why some people quit BJJ
