On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss the importance of long-term consistency to achieve goals and the quality of your effort.

Same old warm up? Try this random technique, now drill and let's roll. Is this the best way to learn? Probably not. Even though every Jiu-Jitsu coach has a different approach to teaching technique, the current state of BJJ classes is a tired old formula. But what is the best way to teach BJJ? - Skip Warm Ups or Athletically Primed- Live Games better than Drills?- Planned Classes or Freestyle seminars- Teacher Leader VS Team Teaching If you are struggling with remembering what is taught in class you need to find the best way for you to learn. Once you identify what works this it will accelerate your BJJ dramatically. The way the class is taught is outside your control so don't depend on it, be intentional and own what you are learning.

To say that Greg Souders is a huge believer in drilling and gamification is actually an understatement; he believes that BJJ training methods have not kept up with the science of learning, and runs [Standard Jiu-Jitsu](https://www.standardjiujitsu.com/) in Rockville, Maryland without teaching any techniques. And black belt medalist students at the Pan Ams and the World Championships suggest that he's onto something!
