A brown belt coach from Art of Jiu Jitsu endorsing Starting Strength is a big deal. The old mythology surrounding the “perils” of strength training for martial arts are finally being proven wrong by people like Jeff.
From skinny, struggling with bigger guys, and a hurt back to bigger, stronger, and more able to control how the fight goes - this is great to see. Especially from a high level belt that teaches at one of the best schools.
I liked his take on the use and tactics of strength and guile on the part of the older guys to wear down, defeat, and overcome youth and enthusiasm.
