I trained in a little bit of kickboxing as well. I've never been really good, but I've trained in that.
I trained in taekwondo
Assimilate and incorporate other stuff in my jiu jitsu point of view. Many times, we jiu jitsu fighters, we tend to be very hard headed with some stuff. I worked for a long time with wrestlers, so I was able to easily adjust for what they like to do, what their style is - a lot more pressure, a lot more power - a lot less resting. You start to adjust and see wrestling technique and try to understand that for jiu jitsu opticus.
Then when I explain something for the wrestlers - do this in a way that makes sense for them. Try to use analogies for wrestling movements and then - look this technique is just like what you do for wrestling. This helps me to adjust my coaching for other martial arts.''
