On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the "Pareto Principle," also known as this "80-20 Rule." We discuss the idea of 20% of your BJJ techniques accounting for 80% of your success in grappling.
We discuss if the "80-20 Rule" could be a trap and make your game too limited, how to identify what needs to change and how to get out of a rut, when the best time is to reflect on your training session, changing your idea of success during training, actions vs outcomes, and why to become "outcome independent."
