"A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week." -- Gen. George S. Patton Sparring in BJJ highlights the salience of Patton's point.
We can enter a round with what we think is a perfect plan and ultimately falter because we are too tightly bound to that plan.
But the inverse is also true. We can enter a round with no plan and immediately descend into chaos.
How do we strike the right balance between these two poles? And how do we refine our feedback loops -- and consequently, our Jiu Jitsu -- in the process?
Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
