Do you meditate? Do you ever feel in the flow when rolling? Sitting still and meditating is a world away from the intensity of choking someone on the mats. But they can get you to a similar place mentally. BJJ is a form of enforced mindfulness because when you are being smothered under mount all you can think about is getting out of there- no bills, no job, no family, just you and what you need to do in the moment.
The post roll relief and clarity that comes from a great Jiu-Jitsu session clears your mind in a similar way to meditation. When you are deep in a full on roll have you ever felt in Flow- automatic action without conscious thought. (Not a Flow roll...)
This topic sound a little Woo Woo but JT & Joey unpack the differences and similarities with some interesting and hilarious insights that can change the way you look at meditation.
