On Sunday the 25th of August myself and Jean Luca Maltese hosted a training day for higher belts and those competing in the NoGi Europeans. We had a great turn out and a great days training.

On this episode, I go over some of the elements we thought were most important and our reasons for wanting to host these type of training sessions, as well as the benefit and experience I've had from training this way.

I also look at the one glaring example that's been staring us in the face since 1997, about the benefit of a good rivalry towards your own development.
