While personal growth in BJJ, MMA and martial arts is not always addressed, it is an important aspect that if approached in the right way can transform a persons life in the most positive ways. To understand better how personal growth works in these realms - I was lucky to once more have a chance to interview Matt Thonton, a martial arts legend - BJJ black belt, founder of SBG International.
During the talk we will take a look at such questions as: what makes combat sports unique as a tool for personal growth, what values combat sports can enhance, how to make sure that your practice has a positive effect on your personal life, how to balance family life and your training, how to run a great gym and organization and how to be careful about not burning out.
