Effective Brazilian Jiu Jitsu demands three things from us: Right technique, right dynamic energy, and right mindset. As a brown belt, I've edged closer to right technique. And when I became a purple belt, I began to integrate more dynamic energy, letting rolls evolve and transition rather than holding. But right mindset remains a work in progress.
On a recent trip to Boston, a private session with a sage-like black belt unlocked something in me -- something that I had suspected was a problem for a long time, but didn't know how to address. Maybe this black belt's advice will unlock something in you, too.
Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
