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.
