Emily Kwok
Manage episode 277199755 series 2821530
Emily Kwok was the first female in Canada to receive her black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the first to win a world championship.
These are only a few things Sarah and Emily talk about:
Concepts behind being an effective instructor - importance of teaching foundations and how more is not always better.
How earning your black belt is really a Licence to Learn
How to put into perspective the story we tell ourselves verses the reality of what is actually going on
Concepts to prolong longevity of BJJ - How to train BJJ for many years (avoiding the scenario of being a broken black belt)
The concept of how we evolve into different versions of ourselves - and how to address that
The importance of not only the physical work, but also the mental work for competing (and training)
So much more
