What up, guys? Welcome to Jiu-Jitsu podcast number. It doesn't really matter at this point.

It's a lot of numbers, a three-digit number. Somewhere in the threes, 8-7.

Appreciate you guys for being here today. We're going to talk about a basic idea. So a lot of times, you know, we talk about different ideas, have different interviews on here.

Today is going to be one for probably a lot of the newer grapplers, you know,

and jiu-jitsu is going to be useful to you, but also what we're going to talk about is not,

I'll be honest with you.

I didn't really embrace these ideas completely until I was probably like purple brown belt.

And so if you can do that before, then you're ahead of the curve.

But even then as I'll talk about in the podcast, a lot of these ideas that we're going to talk about are things that you really have to keep coming back to over and over again, even as you become a good black belt or, you know, advanced belt.

Because again, I think a lot of times when you get into the fundamentals of jih Tjitsu, which defense and escapes are fundamentals. They're required. They're

building blocks. You have to have them. I don't think you can have a good jih Tzu game without

decent escapes and defensive abilities. And with that, when you become more advanced, it's like a good book. You have to kind of go back and reread because every time you go back through something in Jiu-Jitsu, as you improve, you see things you missed. It's like if you read a good book, there's certain books that I have, for instance, that I will reread periodically or I'll reread through the highlighted parts and the notes that I took from it. And I notice things that I, I see things differently as I change because I'm in a different place, right?

As you change the way that you perceive things changes.

And so a lot of times, Jiu Jitsu takes on this thing where, as an example, I remember years ago recording a seminar that we did at our gym.

And it was a two-day seminar and there were a ton of drills that we were doing during the

seminar.

And I remember looking over that seminar and rewatching it tons of times because I would

sort of pick it apart.

And as I improved with the

movements and as I used them over and over again, and I would come back and watch them like a

month later or whatever it was, I would see details I missed. Now, the details were always there. I just

missed them. And so the same thing happens here is like when you go through jihitsu, you're going to
