Reflections on Martial Arts Training and Youth Development

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Spina sits down with his long time Jiu-Jitsu coach Joel Gerson, owner of Revolution Mixed Martial Arts with locations in the Greater Toronto Area (Canada). Joel is one of the pioneers of MMA in Canada and an expert in hand-to-hand combat/MMA instruction with over 25 years of experience. He is a 5 time Canadian Jiu Jitsu Champion and 3 time Ontario Judo Champion. He was also the first man to defeat former champion and Japanese Shoot Fighting legend, Rumina Sato by arm bar submission in his Mixed Martial Arts debut! Topics discussed range from MMA strength and conditioning methodology, a historical view of martial arts pedagogy, training philosophy, keys to motor learning and body control, training and management of the aging athlete, injury prevention for fighters, preparation for grappling competition and many more.
