On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the idea of discipline and the benefits of using restraint in daily life. We discuss why people look at discipline as a punishment initially, but how it actually leads to greater rewards in the long term, why enjoying the pleasures of life on your own terms make them much better, ideas on how to more easily practice restraint, the benefits of avoiding too much of a good thing, when to back off of training, creating an environment to support your goals, the limitations of willpower, using fear as a motivator, and the importance of discipline with developing BJJ techniques.

Do you love a good Open Mat session? Ever dropped in at another club for a casual roll? Recently JT went to 2 very different Academies and got amongst it at their open mat sessions. It was by all accounts rekindling of JT's love of the game. But it also raised different questions around the social aspect of BJJ and why meeting a complete stranger and trying to strangle them is good for both parties.
