We have to put our efforts under fire and see what works and what doesn't time and time again. If we forego that opponent processing, we lose a fundamental source of information about the quality of our practice which can set us up for catastrophic failure down the line.\n\nOn today's podcast we're going to dive into aliveness and the value of opposition with our good friend Matt Thornton. We are going to talk at length about how these principles and others are being applied in his schools to create a truly effective and sustainable Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practice for his students, as well as how any practitioner of any art can identify the fundamentals of their practice and train in a more alive manner. \n\nEnjoy!\n\n\u27a1\ufe0f See full notes on the companion blog:\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/aliveness-matt-thornton-emp-podcast-44/\n\n------------------ \n\u2705 Join our Natural Parkour Online Membership! \n\U0001f4e9 Join now: https://evolvemoveplay.thrivecart.com/inp50\n------------------ \n \n\u26f0\ufe0f Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats:\n \nNothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!\n \nWe take only 20 people per retreat and there is no other experience like it in the movement world! \n \n\u2705 Check it out and Consider Applying Here:\nhttps://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/retreats?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=retreat_rtts_2020\n \n------------------ \n\n\U0001f570\ufe0f SCHEDULE\nNew Podcasts are uploaded every Monday.
