Robert returns from Miami off a major coaching win at Substars with Fellipe Andrew scoring another submission win against Patrick Gaudio and speaks about the particular way Andrew uses the foot lock.

The two then talk about the strange match at Submission Underground Tag Team match between Vinny Magalhaes, Kyle Boehm, Nick Rodriguez, and Craig Jones. This opens the door to a wide variety of topics, from the important of fighting using smart strategy, to corrupt promoters robbing David's brother, how Kent Peters became a Tik Tok sensation cutting up a bale of hale, onto how Dan Kennedy's book, No B.S.

BTG 23 - Training Light

Thursday Jan 16, 2020

Training Light - is there a good reason to?

Yes. Rob and I discuss the importance of having a safety first training approach, along with being team-conscious. Particularly when training with people smaller, weaker, or less experienced than yourself. We also talk about how the responsibility for training safely comes from both parties, big and small, man or woman, adult or child.
