This week, I speak with Greg Souders of Standard Jiu Jitsu. Greg is a big advocate for the ecological approach to learning, and has recently made waves with his “Game-based” approach to teaching Jiu Jitsu. We talk about the best ways to learn Jiu Jitsu, his thoughts on the Gi, John Danaher, and much more. Enjoy the show!
