Our very own Sarah Draht and Canadas first female black belt and world champion sit down and discuss jiu jitsu! Enjoy!
Emily Kwok was the first female in Canada to receive her black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the first to win a world championship.
These are only a few things Sarah and Emily talk about:
Concepts behind being an effective instructor – importance of teaching foundations and how more is not always better.
How earning your black belt is really a Licence to Learn
How to put into perspective the story we tell ourselves verses the reality of what is actually going on
Concepts to prolong longevity of BJJ – How to train BJJ for many years (avoiding the scenario of being a broken black belt)
The concept of how we evolve into different versions of ourselves – and how to address that
The importance of not only the physical work, but also the mental work for competing (and training)
So much more
