Tim talks about how he creates BJJ game plans for his clients. Also, Nico and Tim discuss when someone should become a professional grappler and give advice on how to be successful in the lifestyle.

Here's a story about the first time I 'won' a streetfight when I realised that the other guy - an older, shabbily dressed, homeless man - was almost certainly mentally ill. A good streetfight is one that you walk away from or de-escalate, because even if you KO the other guy you could still lose (as I discussed in detail in this article here: https://selfdefensetutorials.com/death-after-the-knockout/) Be compassionate and be strategic my friends, Stephan P.S.
