I’ve just released the latest podcast (episode 35), featuring an interview with Mr Kurt Osiander.
Kurt is an old-school BJJ black belt under Ralph Gracie. He’s known for his no BS communication style, his informative Youtube instructional videos, and his swearing (this interview is definitely not for the ears of little children or the overly sensitive).
The topics we cover include…
- Old school Ralph Gracie training tactics
- The attributes that make a champion
- Gi vs no gi training for MMA
- The role of talent in jiu-jitsu
- Can anyone become a black belt?
- Physical preparation and conditioning for competition
- Tattoos, art, European sword fighting and other things Kurt
- Developing mental toughness in BJJ
- The effect of modern competition techniques on street self defense skills
