George talks about driving hours all day to train with different martial arts experts and his relentless schedule of workouts that took him to the biggest MMA promotion in the world. He recounts his time on "The Ultimate Fighter" and how he kept his training volume high doing extra workouts out back and staying after practice. George also talks about his favorite MMA fights in the octagon and his recipe for success while learning when to keep some consistency. Very admirable episode as George is one of the hardest working athletes in the world and still stays close to that pace to this day.
John Will is one of Australia's most prestigious Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts, who many believe is part of the famous “Dirty Dozen” group – the first 12 non-Brazilians to receive a black belt in BJJ, having in fact coined the term in an interview. John Will was a pioneer in the Australasia region, having paved the way for many of the newer generations of grapplers in the area. Will has also awarded some of the most recognizable black belts in the Australian continent, competitors such as George Sotiropoulos, Elvis Sinosic and Anthony Perosh. John joins Coach Rene and Matt all the way from Aulstralia for a candid discussion on his journey into martial arts, his fight against bullying, giving practical advice on how to help and shares the tip of the ice-burg of some of his great stories. Pro tip - don't let John barrow your car. Please give the show a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts and leave a review.
