Episode Synopsis

After a rough go as a kid in some of the schools I went to, I vowed to learn martial arts some day. A month after I turned 30, I joined a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. I've been going strong now for a little over 5 months and I've begun to see a little bit of overlap between the mats and the classroom.

How did becoming a learner at level 0 again impact me in the classroom?
What insights did my coaches give me into teaching that I hadn't paid as much attention to?
What can educators learn from the world of martial arts?
