On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss some ideas around a quote from the author Thomas Sowell, “There are no solutions, just trade-offs,” and how this thinking applies to Jiu-Jitsu and also to life.
We discuss why you shouldn’t push yourself too hard when you first start training, using a reward system when starting a task, the importance of keeping Jiu-Jitsu fun early on, why life is a poorly designed game, trading your health for Jiu-Jitsu, training intensity vs. training longevity, and comparing yourself to others.

0:03.8 | Yes. |
0:04.4 | Welcome. |
0:06.2 | The podcast today is going to be sort of based off of a quote. |
0:11.5 | I've seen it before. |
0:13.1 | So on my little, I call it my quote board over here in my office. |
0:17.4 | You can't see it, obviously, but it's there. |
0:19.7 | And basically, I have a little |
0:21.0 | collection of three by five cards. And every time I hear something, like, that's a great quote, |
0:25.5 | I throw it up there. And I just, sometimes like, it's almost like I go to the quote board for |
0:31.7 | ideas and inspiration and stuff. And I just kind of like look through them. I mean, there's like there's tons of them over there. And one of the ones that I came across to the other day was a quote by a super, |
0:44.7 | super smart guy. |
0:47.0 | And we'll share it as we get into the podcast. |
0:49.0 | And basically he was sharing it more for like it had more to do with politics and stuff like that but when you |
0:55.1 | listen to it's like oh it kind of it applies to so many other levels and it also kind of goes |
0:59.7 | along with some of the stuff that like i've talked about emerson he's talked about and said |
1:03.5 | and so we'll just kind of talk about it because it's something that i think is actually it kind of goes |
1:07.6 | back to a situation that a lot of people talk about in jih-Zitsu where like they're always looking for the like the one solution to fix the problem. |
1:16.7 | Or in a lot of cases, I've had people ask about how, you know, they maybe if they go from like, they go from focusing on one position to the other and then all of a sudden they feel that position getting weaker and how to deal with that whole thing. And so we'll kind of talk about that idea |
1:31.4 | and share some different ideas to chew on. And you can kind of take it for what you will. So |
1:36.9 | again, thank you guys for being here. And always thanks to our sponsors for helping make this |
1:41.3 | darn podcast happen. So we can actually be here with you guys |
