We are joined by the esteemed Michael Demko, Head Instructor of the renowned "Wrecking Crew BJJ" family martial arts school. As a Black Belt under living legends Rigan Machado and Erik Paulson, Mike Demko brings a wealth of experience to the mat. His coaching prowess has propelled fighters to amateur and professional championships, with many achieving success in major promotions such as Bellator. Notably, Mike leads one of the best kids teams in the country, consistently dominating local tournaments and making impressive showings at NAGA World's.
Our paths first crossed at the 2023 BJJ Globetrotters Arizona camp, where Mike's session on "Getting Better at Getting Better. Learning and skill acquisition for Jiu Jitsu" left an indelible mark. Today's episode is not just special; it's a master class on Deliberate Training. Mike Demko shares a wealth of critical information beneficial for both coaches and students. So, grab a notebook and take notes, as we'll provide a download link in the show notes for an outline and mind map PDF related to today's discussion. While other shows might charge for this kind of valuable information, we are thrilled to offer it to you for free. Enjoy and feel free to re-watch or re-listen as needed.
