On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss some ideas around a quote from the author Thomas Sowell, "There are no solutions, just trade-offs," and how this thinking applies to Jiu-Jitsu and also to life. We discuss why you shouldn't push yourself too hard when you first start training, using a reward system when starting a task, the importance of keeping Jiu-Jitsu fun early on, why life is a poorly designed game, trading your health for Jiu-Jitsu, training intensity vs. training longevity, and comparing yourself to others.

Do you roll to win or just go with the Flow? Trying to win every roll may make you feel tough but this isn't necessarily the best way to learn and improve your game. The playful and creative approach can allow you to see positions and techniques that you might otherwise miss if you are only going for the Kill. Some of this depends on your training partners but setting an intention to be more relaxed and to try something new can open up your game. Joey opens up about his new BJJ mindset to become "Joe Berimbolo" and JT explains the role of drilling in skill development.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy discusses techniques that were seen as low percentage that have become high percentage effective techniques. We chat about specific techniques that were seen as low percentage and have become high percentage, why it's important to have an open mind and experiment with BJJ techniques, why we can be considered "creatures of self-esteem," how Chewy evolves his techniques, the importance of BJJ coaches learning new skills, and rules of combat.
