On this episode of The GI Spot Podcast, Rach and Kaz welcome back a fan favourite, training partner, coach, unofficial podcast mascot—and Rach’s life—Grant Bradshaw (yes, that husband)
This marks the first episode in a special 2 parter with Grant, where they'll be unpacking the nuanced art of teaching, learning, and navigating the evolving world of Jiu Jitsu and youth sport. And if you think this episode is loaded, just wait till the next instalments.
The trio dives deep into the fascinating world of learning styles and teaching approaches—because let’s face it, not everyone thrives under “just do it harder” coaching. From visual learners to the kinaesthetic chaos gremlins (you know who you are), they break down what actually works on the mats, in the gym, and with junior athletes.
Grant shares insights from decades of teaching Jiu Jitsu, working with kids and adults alike, and why understanding how someone learns might be the ultimate cheat code in coaching. They also explore the hot topic of specialising vs. sampling in kids' sports—why having your kid do Jiu Jitsu, netball, soccer and interpretive dance might actually make them a better grappler (and human).
If you're a coach, a parent, a student—or just someone who’s ever screamed internally while trying to teach a white belt—this one’s for you
