Josh in the middle... Relson on the right, and Relson's son Rhalan on the left.
Josh focuses on old school, traditional, core basic techniques and the number one thing I hear from him when he corners me at tournaments is "Close your guard Georgette!" I love having him corner me because I can always hear his voice and he's always very encouraging. And-- he taught me my first sweep. (Not the first sweep I was taught... but the first sweep I truly incorporated and pulled off with regularity.)
Mike Calimbas of TXMMA.com just did a really nice interview with Josh about getting his blackbelt from Relson. You should definitely check it out.
Congrats, Josh, on being Relson's blackbelt number 29!!! :) :)

I love it when I can pick the brain of a small, advanced grappler! And I love watching them roll. It gives me hope that one day I will suck less. ;)
This is going to sound terrible, but I'll put it out there:
I thought the interview was vastly more of an infomercial for the Gracies, rather than an insightful look at Lauber's life and experiences.
It didn't resonate in my head like I thought it would, given the subject and the people involved...
Love it! I really enjoy and learn lots from Eddie Kone. He's a small black belt with a huge heart and a very very technical game. It's like watching a Saulo DVD, with added details!
