Greg Souders is the head coach of Standard Jiu-Jitsu in Rockville, Maryland USA.
Becoming world renowned for his approach to the teaching of Jiu-Jitsu, it was high time I talked to the man.

He's Back! The return of Josh McKinney! My brother from another mother.
The host of the wildly popular "I Suck at Jiu-Jitsu Show", badass BJJ Black Belt, and all round great guy, Josh and I have joined forces to create a new as-of-yet unnamed series across both of our channels where we tackle interesting and sometimes controversial subjects about Jiu-Jitsu.
In this first episode, Josh had asked the question across his social media platforms on which was more important, Techniques or Concepts. Obviously to myself this was just a red rag to a bull, and I couldn't wait to talk to him on the subject.
To hear us deep dive on this topic, and from everything to competition mindsets and even Rickson Gracie, check it out.

We also look at how we structure and plan classes, training in the worst case scenario and when to do it, and the question I hear the most, how do you actually attack this system?

Episode Nine - Omied Jalalian-Khakshour - The Fundamental Fundamentalist
Wednesday Mar 10, 2021
Wednesday Mar 10, 2021
Jiu-Jitsu is in the midst of a renaissance. The old days of prescribed 3 piece classes and drilling are becoming a thing of the past. With the advent of greater communication, connectivity, and more powerful orators coming to the fore, Jiu-Jitsu is stepping away from it's atypical martial arts heritage, and embracing a deeper conceptual future.
Hailing from Swansea, Wales, Omied Jalalian-Khakshour is one of these skilled orators.
The Black Belt coach of CF24 (and thus of some incredible emerging talent on the competition scene), Omied has created a highly systematic approach to the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu, creating one of the most substantial frameworks that his students can then rely on throughout their Jiu-Jitsu career.
In this podcast we cover what inspired him to create this system, despite coming from a more traditional BJJ education, and how he is using it to turn out an increasing number of world class athletes.
In this episode we do talk about Omieds essay on Pressure Passing, which is now posted in the Discord channel.
