@lindarmusic This was years ago, though. Back then training resources were more scarce, and he only had a grappling coach available to him once a week. Even when he got to Pride he was only training once a week.
Today he's able to train on a regular basis, but the years of improper training are still a poor base to work from.
Why is John Matua listed as "BJJ/Wrestling/Sambo"? Did he stop training in Kapu Kuialua after the Tank Abbott fight?
