Summary

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss some ideas on how to fail properly in grappling.

We chat about whether you should promote a student to the next belt rank if they demonstrate a "bad attitude," why you need to experience loss and failure, how to lose properly, how the fear of losing can keep you from trying new things, letting go of the attachment to winning, why you should avoid trying to keep up with younger grapplers as an older grappler, why failure is the currency for success, learning information ahead of time vs. in the nick of time, advice on losing for younger/newer grapplers and older/seasoned grapplers, and the importance of play for learning.

What up guys? Welcome to the podcast today. Today, Eugene and I are going to jump into some different ideas about attitude. I guess you could say some of it's going to be ego. Some of it, you know, we might even get into a bit about getting a little older on the mats, which I know a lot of you guys that follow me. You know, even if you're not older, a lot of you guys actually are in your 30s and older. But even if you're a young cat, you know, you're in there training hard.

0:23.6

You'll have this moment.

0:24.9

All of us have gotten to it.

0:26.0

I remember older guys talking to me about this kind of stuff and I didn't get it until I got it until I got older.

0:31.3

But a lot of this will be just kind of just some general ideas that you on. Hopefully some of this stuff that we get into is going to be useful to you guys. As always, thanks to our sponsors for helping make this podcast happen.

If you guys have never checked out CBD before or you've never checked out Charlotte's Web,

0:45.2

CBD before, I encourage you to try it out. Again, CBD is a product that I like using as a part of

0:50.1

my recovery and sort of, it has become my evening routine where I use the product.

0:55.8

I use a tincture or gummies depending on what I'm going through at that particular time.

1:00.5

I'll take my dose that I use.

1:02.1

I use a relatively low dose.

1:03.4

I use that dose and then, which for you guys, if you're listening to this, like I use around

1:07.6

a little under 20, right?

1:08.9

You 20 milligrams and so I use that and then it

1:12.1

becomes part of my nighttime routine, which is, you know, take a shower, hot shower, uh, take my

1:16.5

vitamins that I take before bed, take my CBD and then I go to bed. And again, it seems to help me out

1:21.7

in that sense. And so I encourage you to try it out. Again, you can try it up for whatever you want to. I know a lot of people that use it for different reasons than I do. And so I encourage you to try it out for yourself.

1:32.4

And, you know, if you've never done any research, want to look it up and see what people

1:36.5

or what people say about the effects it has on them. But I know that a lot of people say that

1:40.8

it helps kind of give them one, it helps with their rest, getting a more restful sleep cycle with their sleep, but also helping with like a sense of

1:47.6

just sort of well-being as far as like being a little bit more relaxed and deal with things like

1:51.4

stress. And so again, check it out. If you, C-H-E-W-J-I-T-S-U-20.
