Roye and Miguel talk about the roles a black belt plays in the Academy. What are some of the qualities that black belts share with other influential people? While fixating on a specific goal we often fail to ask ourselves, " then what?". Professor Miguel shares his experience of his first day training as a black belt and how the journey and eventual achievement truly impacted his life.

On the episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the concept of how increased quantity of work performed will increase the quality of work produced. In Jiu-Jitsu, this is a focus on increased attempts at a position or technique to increase the quality and effectiveness of those techniques. We also discuss why long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity, why you should focus on one technique instead of many, why previous sports experience can speed up the learning process, avoiding self-judgement, how to control anger with breath, not having expectations when competing, how to move past failed attempts, the key to persistence, and the recent Chewjitsu Camp.
