Ivica Pavlinic (aka Judo2U) joins the Partizan Podcast to talk about his journey through Judo — from starting out, to coaching young athletes, and even working as a bouncer. We cover practical coaching advice, how to build good training environments, the difference between hobbyists and competitors, and whether Judo still works for self-defense today. Ivica also shares his take on dynamic balance, the belt system, and what separates high-level athletes from the rest. If you enjoyed the episode, be sure to like and subscribe!
