In this episode Coach Matt Thornton offers his take on: 1. The importance of culture, how to cultivate and maintain it in an organization such as a BJJ gym. 2. Defining fundamentals of movement and technique. 3. Defining efficiency and applying it both in terms of technique but also efficiency in training. 4. How SBG defines drilling and how to structure a class for optimal skill development with it as the primary emphasis 5. Why a 25 yr old MMA fighter can grow not only personally by training with a broad range of people (ex. 50 yr old female student) but also in their technique.

He’s active on Facebook and twitter @aliveness_ape and can be reached via email at [email protected]. ***note: there were some audio issues I mention in the podcast that makes it sound like I was talking over Coach Thornton at times. Trust that I was not, I will update this show if the podcast service can fix the off-timing, but the info that was shared was so valuable and eloquently stated that I humbly ask the listener’s and Coach Thornton’s forgiveness for the technical glitch.
