In this episode of The Coaching Couch, Rob, Gary, and Cory discuss their innovative methodology for Jiu-Jitsu training and competition camps. They emphasize a transition from intense "hard rounds" to a more sustainable and inclusive approach that prioritizes safety and skill development over sheer physical exertion. With the aim of supporting hobbyist practitioners, the team has eliminated high-risk practices like shark tanks and intense match simulations, opting instead for mental tasks during rolling sessions to enhance technical skills. This shift has led to greater participation among hobbyists in competition preparation, while cultivating a culture that prioritizes safe training partnerships.
