Ian has more than 40 years of martial arts experience and has been working with MMA fighters for more than 20 years.
Today we discuss the changes that need to be made in jiu-jitsu training for it to be effective in a real fight, how to create a fight gameplan (and how to get a fighter to follow it), cutting weight intelligently, the best conditioning for a gas tank that never runs dry, and why fighters are so prone to pseudoscience and supplement scams.
