When we are drilling in martial arts, we are seeking flow. Flow in the chaos of an attack.

A saying made famous by Rickson Gracie goes something like,

“you can’t go with the flow, you must flow with the go.”

That being said many people are uncertain as to what is regarded as flow. Here is an amazing article describing what a “state of flow” is and is not!

What do you think!

What is the flow state and how can you access it regularly? Explore the psychology behind this peak productivity level and 5 ways to induce it during your workweek.

“Most fights end up on the ground anyway!”

This line was created and repeated by people who never really knew how to fight.
A fight may go to the ground for a few specific reasons:

1. The person getting beaten panics, jumps in to smother the punches, and both end up tangled in a clinch or on the floor.

2. You’re facing a solid wrestler or a brown-belt-and-up BJJ fighter. If one of those guys breaks into your house, yes—you’re probably going down.

3. Neither fighter understands distance or range, so they just crash into each other.

4. You get tackled from an angle you never saw coming. (Mass attack)

That’s it. Most of the time it’s poor skill, panic, or a specialist taking the fight where he wants it—not some universal law of combat. Unless you’re on the beach or in bed, 100% of your self-protection will start on your feet.

Train smart, not just hard!
