If BJJ was a language the current approach of simple of Immersion for learning is wrong. Jumping into a room of beginners, intermediates and experts without a good process for retaining the info dooms you to very slow progress.The best learners of any subject matter have both practical and theoretical ways to help them understand their chosen body of knowledge and have a system to shorten up their learning loops for faster adaptations. This enables them to achieve a level of mastery many times faster than their peers. JT & Joey discuss: 1.) Why Immersion doesn't work for everyone 2.) Primacy & Recency - Why you don't remember? 3.) What is your Learning Loop- Record your rolls! 4.) Software Engineering and Fixing BJJ Mistakes 5.) Your Mental High-Light Reel, ain't For Real. If you have trained for a while but really struggle to progress and remember techniques then you need to ask yourself- "Do you have a good process for remembering, analysing and reflecting on what you do when you train?" If you are not sure what to do, this is the episode for you.

Do you train for the love of the game? Or push yourself to win Championships? How you choose to approach your BJJ is a very individual thing. What defines a Hobbyist? Are you only a Competitor if you compete at tournaments or fight to the death in the Gym? It is important to appreciate the difference between the 2 approaches and get clear on the upside and Draw backs of each: 1.) Expectations vs Results 2.) Awkward Rolls & Misunderstandings 3.) Winning vs Learning- What's better? 4.) Being Serious or Being Strategic 5.) Martial Arts vs Sports Performance Whether you are training everyday focused on the next comp or just get your rolls in where you can, there is value in both approaches and ultimately you can benefit by borrowing from the other.
