The traditional class structure of doing a warmup, learning a couple of new techniques, and followed by sparring is NOT an efficient way to learn jiu-jitsu. We can do much better if we use insights from research on coaching and learning. Today's guest is Cal MacDonald, a BJJ black belt and competitor who has dedicated himself to developing his teaching and coaching skills to the highest possible level. Cal is a longtime blackbelt under Rob Biernacki at Island Top Team. Rob and his team are at the cutting edge of teaching and training methodologies that make people amazingly good incredibly fast. Cal coached full time at Island Top Team for five years and is also a fierce competitor, having won Gold at NAGA, Pacific Northwest Open, and many other tournaments. He has travelled to top academies for Worlds and ADCC camps, training with top athletes like Yuri Simões, Mason Fowler, and Caio Terra, so he knows what works at the highest levels. His proudest accomplishments are the successes of his students, and he has spent thousands of hours coaching and cornering competitors as they fight their way to the podium. Cal stays abreast of advances in sports science and cognitive science, and blended that with experience and experimentation to create the BJJ Foundations program - more info about that at https://www.grapplearts.com/foundations Good luck with your training, Stephan Kesting

Video Description In this compelling video, we delve into the life of Julia, a young woman from the Curicica community in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Julia faced numerous challenges on her journey, but thanks to the incredible Jiu Jitsu for Good Social Project, her life took an extraordinary turn. Julia shares her personal journey, from the obstacles she faced to discovering Jiu Jitsu for Good. This project not only introduced her to the world of Jiu Jitsu but also provided her with a supportive community and mentors who helped her develop essential life skills. Through Jiu Jitsu, Julia not only found a passion but also gained self-confidence, discipline, and determination. These qualities not only helped her on the mats but also in everyday life. With her new set of skills and positive mindset, Julia has not only transformed her own life but also that of her family. Today, Julia is an inspiring example of how social initiatives can change lives. She now has the opportunity to support her family and is paving the way for a bright future. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the positive impact we can have when we come together to support those in need. Watch and share this inspiring tale of transformation and hope.
