Description

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
