WE'RE BACK. After a few weeks with holidays, childcare nightmares and a very lacking amount of jiu-jitsu we're happy to get back to it. In episode 59 guest Darragh O'Conaill joins us and we discuss the balance between creating online content and staying true to coaching values, why seminars still matter despite free online material, and how to structure effective seminars and gym curricula. They cover practical coaching tips—like teaching to the least experienced in the room, interleaving topics for retention, and tailoring training to different levels—plus Darrow’s seminar tour experience, training routines, weight-class choices, guard preferences, and challenges of training with larger opponents.
The conversation also touches on building semi-pro teams, the realities of coaching commitments, the benefits of in-person instruction for long-term learning, and how to get the most out of training rounds whether you’re a beginner or advanced practitioner. The episode finishes with advice for coaches and athletes on focus, intensity, and making seminars engaging and memorable.
