 Bill is running solo today. He talks about ways to actually keep training fun and enjoyable, also how to avoid plateaus in training or how to get out of them. Also a match study, Bill goes over his last match at Master Worlds 2022 when he was a brown belt. A lot of lapel playing so if you like that stuff, it might be a fun watch.
