Corey Guitard, one of the toughest and most experienced Black Belts in Canada.  The co owner of 10th planet and the man behind some amazing instructionals, Corey Guitard joined us to discuss the decision to start training and teaching full time as he finishes his degree.  Teach in a classroom or teach in a gym, seems like a no brainer decision to us!  Lots of great insight in this technical conversation about the sport, life and politics inside and outside.  How you can be a better instructor, coach and mentor by being available, present and involved in students growth.  One of the best conversations I have had on this journey of doing podcasts with someone I have known for many years and never had the chance to speak with.  Open up your mind, talk to new people and learn from one another.  Super excited to get this guy and some of his students on a future grappling card and continue to watch his journey at learn.jiujitsuxfactor.com  - Thanks for tuning in, enjoy!
