Rupture is the moment when our worldview stops being useful. You might have felt this at some point during the pandemic, or after 9/11, or if you're old enough, after Pearl Harbor. The way of thinking that brought you to a given moment won't get you to the next.
In a smaller way, Jiu Jitsu does this to the beginner over and over again. It happens less frequently as a grappler becomes more experienced, but the potential for rupture persists.
We can avoid it. Insulate ourselves. Protect our egos. Or we can embrace it, learn, and transcend.
How do we embrace rupture? And how do we gently guide students through it?
Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
