Great video. this guy definitely studies hard, and is a great tactician. He exemplifies grace under pressure. To him, stepping onto the mats is just another day at the office. Now, the second topic, I believe anyone can be taught to fight and fight well, well enough to bring home trucks full of trophies. But, and there is always a but...... This guy possesses not only skill but a survival instinct that can't be taught, only learned. We have many preteens at our school who come from rough inner city neighborhoods in Ct. Their ability to adapt to a threating situation is instinctive. They have no concept of flight or fight, fleeing isn't an option where the live. We teach them proper form and mat etiquette and after that, they just naturally excel.
