Today on the show I have 10th Planet Decatur Black Belt, Matt Skaff. Matt is a black belt under Brandon McCaghren. Matt also hosts his own fantastic podcast called The Grappling Discourse.

In this episode we discuss several interesting items such as when being an instructor is not for you, what is a Jiu Jitsu coach vs  an instructor, when to seek a coach, what it takes to be a coach, private lessons vs coaching, how to optimize private lessons, learning styles, the benefits of rolling with the opposite sex, and much more.

Ok one housekeeping note, in the episode we make reference to a “Lindsey”, we are referring to Lindsey McCaghren co-owner of 10th Planet Decatur.
