Getting caught isn’t always a mistake. Sometimes it’s the experiment.

Try the technique. See what happens. Get caught. Figure out why. Make an adjustment. Try it again.

Hypothesize. Experiment. Record. Adjust. Repeat.

That’s how you troubleshoot Jiu Jitsu.

If you only use the techniques you already know work, you might win more rounds in practice, but you’re limiting how much you can learn.

Practice is the lab.

Getting caught is data.

That’s how you level up. 🥋

5 weeks of personal development. Bob has a super fight coming up and we know the guy he is facing is a leg locker, so we are preparing him for the prevention, early and late escape

Caught in a leg entanglement? Before you start trying to remember 15 different escapes, understand what your opponent actually needs to make the position work.

In this situation, simply dropping to your knees changes the position and takes away the control they were looking for.

That’s the difference between memorizing moves and understanding Jiu Jitsu.

Understand the problem. Take away what they need. Move on.

Simple. Methodical. Effective.

🥋 Systems > Moves.

I can tell my kids to work hard.

I can tell them to exercise.

I can tell them to keep learning.

I can tell them not to quit when something gets difficult.

But eventually they notice whether Dad does those things too.

I’m trying to make sure the example matches the advice.
