(Ep 40) Tapped Out? Smart Strategies to Stay on the Mat After Injury

WEBVTT

00:00:00.777 --> 00:00:04.777
Welcome back to Fire's Drinking Coffee, guys. You were training,

00:00:04.917 --> 00:00:06.837
you're having a great roll, right?

00:00:07.457 --> 00:00:13.157
Got done with class, you're rolling with your best bud, the guy that you always train with,

00:00:15.437 --> 00:00:18.357
and you're used to what he does, you know what he does.

00:00:18.957 --> 00:00:23.377
He went for an arm bar and you're like, I think I can get out of this, but you didn't.

00:00:23.417 --> 00:00:27.877
And you didn't tap in time and you get the pop, pop, pop.

00:00:28.837 --> 00:00:35.877
Now what? right? Your arm hurts. It hurts. It's bad. It's not good. It doesn't feel great.

00:00:36.317 --> 00:00:40.637
And now you're thinking to yourself, do I need to go to the hospital?

00:00:41.597 --> 00:00:46.737
Do I need to pause my membership? Do I, should I just quit jujitsu altogether?

00:00:46.917 --> 00:00:48.857
Should I just be done with this forever?

00:00:49.457 --> 00:00:55.057
The answer is no guys. Definitely no. Because we have answers for you.

00:00:55.317 --> 00:01:00.597
We know we've been there specifically with the elbow i've been there recently

00:01:00.597 --> 00:01:05.677
uh but like we've both been hurt it's part of the game it happens sometimes

00:01:05.677 --> 00:01:09.057
it's an accident sometimes you were going for gold.

00:01:10.237 --> 00:01:14.577
Sometimes it was some you know you just were a little too stubborn in the gym

00:01:14.577 --> 00:01:19.677
and you just didn't tap that time and you were wrong you should have tapped

00:01:19.677 --> 00:01:23.637
um but you know like it doesn't have to end there.

00:01:23.797 --> 00:01:26.177
There are ways you can come back.

00:01:26.357 --> 00:01:28.537
Sometimes you do need to take a little bit of time off. Like,

00:01:28.657 --> 00:01:29.477
don't get us wrong there.

00:01:29.637 --> 00:01:37.097
Like it might be that, but you know, we have some ways for you to still get

00:01:37.097 --> 00:01:41.237
better at jujitsu with an injury. There's methods for this.

00:01:41.577 --> 00:01:47.317
There's things you can still do, even though you've got a brace or a cast.

00:01:48.327 --> 00:01:52.167
Or a sling. You know, there's ways around it.

00:01:52.987 --> 00:01:56.887
Maybe. Well, it'll actually be easier if they just cut it off.

00:01:57.407 --> 00:02:03.007
You just go back to it. Yeah, break it again. How do we still continue on the

00:02:03.007 --> 00:02:08.367
path of getting better at jiu-jitsu with this new hurdle, right?

00:02:08.487 --> 00:02:09.627
It's just another hurdle.

00:02:10.327 --> 00:02:14.287
We've gone through it. We talked about being a white belt. You sucked.

00:02:14.727 --> 00:02:18.347
Now you're better. But you got hurt. We'll still get there.

00:02:18.487 --> 00:02:22.767
We're going to overcome this adversity like we told you in the White Belt episode.

00:02:23.367 --> 00:02:26.107
We got to overcome adversity. It's going to happen.

00:02:26.907 --> 00:02:28.747
So, Scott, what do you think?

00:02:29.627 --> 00:02:32.787
Okay. Let's give them a story. Sure, sure, sure. Let's give them some.

00:02:32.907 --> 00:02:35.427
Let's relate to them a little bit. Let's tell them about when we got hurt so

00:02:35.427 --> 00:02:38.067
they know we're telling, you know, we've got some.

00:02:38.227 --> 00:02:40.387
We've actually tried this out. We've tested it.

00:02:41.767 --> 00:02:45.287
Right. Okay. Let's see. Which story should I?

00:02:46.227 --> 00:02:52.547
Got more. Before I go on to the story, I do want to say, I guess I want to say a couple of things.

00:02:52.787 --> 00:02:58.347
On injury prevention training, you have a lot more autonomy on the next day.

00:03:00.807 --> 00:03:05.967
Now, the fun of Jiu-Jitsu is usually where the...

00:03:07.232 --> 00:03:13.352
Sort of what your lead-in story lead-in kind of like use case.

00:03:13.652 --> 00:03:16.032
Setting the stage. You were setting the stage.

00:03:16.832 --> 00:03:23.052
A lot of the fun of Jiu-Jitsu is like, just kind of always dancing on the floor. Musical danger.

00:03:24.132 --> 00:03:30.292
I mean, that's, yeah. Get so used to it. You're just like hanging out on the edge, constantly.

00:03:31.312 --> 00:03:36.212
And in one of the five little episodes for sure, we said we can tap out.

00:03:36.732 --> 00:03:43.112
Slow the tempo down. You do a lot to keep in an inherently dangerous sport,

00:03:43.252 --> 00:03:49.272
or in this world, to break things on the other dude or choke them out or whatever.

00:03:49.412 --> 00:03:51.952
You get a submission sport looking to get to a break.

00:03:52.812 --> 00:03:56.532
That's the name of the game. Things that if you did this on an unwilling participant

00:03:56.532 --> 00:03:59.732
on the streets, you would be arrested. For sure.

00:04:01.692 --> 00:04:03.432
So that's the fun of it.

00:04:09.577 --> 00:04:16.357
And so as it relates to the leading example like i mean most of like the a lot

00:04:16.357 --> 00:04:22.997
of your learning a lot of the best aspects what we do is finding yourself in

00:04:22.997 --> 00:04:25.377
that dangerous line getting out,

00:04:25.977 --> 00:04:33.717
it's not tapping pushing your limit yeah i got out what what i was saying was like you know,

00:04:34.677 --> 00:04:41.697
The real reality, at least for myself, is that learning that line has come from

00:04:41.697 --> 00:04:44.457
going online and being injured.

00:04:44.917 --> 00:04:48.257
And then that's really one of the best tools for me to figure out,

00:04:48.377 --> 00:04:53.057
like, all right, when do I have some finger a little bit?

00:04:54.197 --> 00:04:57.277
Train long enough with liable training partners so you can dial it in.

00:04:57.417 --> 00:05:06.217
You guys can understand that. the other person has a lot of help and away from getting two um.

00:05:07.777 --> 00:05:13.177
But like again you can't avoid the danger depending on what your ambitions are in the sport,

00:05:14.197 --> 00:05:19.837
competition um you wanna you wanna stay close to that line you wanna stay you

00:05:19.837 --> 00:05:24.477
wanna be like nerfed up in your training not if you're competitive,

00:05:25.217 --> 00:05:29.897
um you need to be comfortable with the situation you,

00:05:30.764 --> 00:05:34.444
original call-out is like injury prevention like a lot of this can be prevented by like

00:05:34.864 --> 00:05:38.344
knowing how fast or how slow you want to go how

00:05:38.344 --> 00:05:41.084
much risk you want to take someday and we're all

00:05:41.084 --> 00:05:45.444
the bulk of what we're going to talk about we're past this stuff we're going

00:05:45.444 --> 00:05:49.424
to keep training and you'll look the best way to learn how to modulate things

00:05:49.424 --> 00:05:54.124
is going to be like you learned what you tend to like after a couple bumps and

00:05:54.124 --> 00:05:56.184
bruises along the way you figure out

00:05:56.184 --> 00:06:00.344
like all right i'm the lowest common denominator in a lot of these things.

00:06:00.624 --> 00:06:06.884
I know how I can in a pace that is not close.

00:06:08.004 --> 00:06:10.104
And like, yeah, the other person you're trying to be just kind of understand

00:06:10.104 --> 00:06:14.424
that too. So I was saying, you can avoid a lot of stuff.

00:06:14.544 --> 00:06:17.464
And so obviously, like for the people listening, right, know yourself,

00:06:17.624 --> 00:06:19.164
know what you're trying to do on the mat.

00:06:19.864 --> 00:06:25.084
It's a lot. Your coach will have a ton and your coach is going to have right. Um, um.

00:06:26.362 --> 00:06:28.322
Know what you want to do. You know, you know, the training session,

00:06:28.522 --> 00:06:32.682
where you're headed, goals, one is that you can definitely prevent yourself

00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:37.582
from getting hurt in a dangerous sport to begin with.

00:06:38.362 --> 00:06:39.982
So that's tempo and tapping.

00:06:42.822 --> 00:06:46.302
Now, what was that? Now, yeah, that was the disclaimer. Well,

00:06:46.482 --> 00:06:48.562
I have one more disclaimer.

00:06:48.742 --> 00:06:52.742
My other disclaimer is for what we're going to talk about for a lot of years,

00:06:52.922 --> 00:06:55.122
guys, like, just honestly, you've got to, like, just ask yourself,

00:06:55.582 --> 00:07:00.242
how badly do I need to train how badly am I hurting if something happens,

00:07:00.722 --> 00:07:04.062
gotta like self-assess self-assess and say alright this is the kind of thing

00:07:04.062 --> 00:07:07.822
that I need to see a doctor I need to take some time like you'll know the answer,

00:07:08.562 --> 00:07:11.802
you'll know the answer I wouldn't say immediately but like as an individual

00:07:11.802 --> 00:07:16.822
you'll know you'll know or you will learn the limits you're like this is a get

00:07:16.822 --> 00:07:20.482
an MRI thing and this is a go see a doctor maybe it's a,

00:07:21.022 --> 00:07:25.622
maybe it's a say six to eight week thing or a two to four or five.

00:07:26.822 --> 00:07:32.302
You need to be able to answer that question yourself and seek help and take

00:07:32.302 --> 00:07:33.722
time off. That's what you've got to do.

00:07:34.202 --> 00:07:37.922
Without intervention, will this get worse?

00:07:38.482 --> 00:07:40.162
That leads me to the next thing.

00:07:41.902 --> 00:07:48.802
Which is something I think you'll like. Which is, the first question that relates

00:07:48.802 --> 00:07:52.262
to what we're going to talk about is really like am I tweaked?

00:07:52.802 --> 00:07:55.502
Did I tweak a thing or did I injure it?

00:07:57.222 --> 00:08:00.442
Or, you know, we're in between the two animals. The tweak is,

00:08:00.502 --> 00:08:06.022
like, basically in my, this is so mean, it's all very, relatively subjective. It is subjective.

00:08:07.082 --> 00:08:10.162
But tweak is, like, something hurts, but I'm going to train.

00:08:10.902 --> 00:08:16.642
On the other end, the continuum is, like, I'm injured, and this must be full focus on healing.

00:08:17.742 --> 00:08:20.522
This requires an outside person. Right, right, right, right.

00:08:20.622 --> 00:08:26.062
And, like, again, like, the severity of the injury will indicate that.

00:08:26.062 --> 00:08:29.882
We want to emphasize that,

00:08:30.902 --> 00:08:36.782
taking care of your body is paramount and quite frankly if I mean anything I've

00:08:36.782 --> 00:08:41.002
said on that I can give personal,

00:08:41.682 --> 00:08:46.582
experience on that giving people advice on when you're not doing something we're

00:08:46.582 --> 00:08:52.602
just going to talk about what we've done and how we approach this how have we yes,

00:08:52.802 --> 00:08:57.002
how have we approached it how have we overcome Or adapted to it.

00:08:57.222 --> 00:08:59.742
We like to talk about adaption. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all about adaptation.

00:09:05.462 --> 00:09:08.962
Because your just need to train.

00:09:09.602 --> 00:09:13.582
I will say it's commensurate with how, you know, and I say this in the best

00:09:13.582 --> 00:09:16.682
way possible, you are about wanting to be on the mat.

00:09:16.822 --> 00:09:20.402
You know, this stuff is so fun. It's addictive. Like, if you're a little oriented person,

00:09:22.284 --> 00:09:27.324
We have a guy this morning who heard his rib on me.

00:09:27.744 --> 00:09:30.404
He's like, yeah, I should rest with you. All right.

00:09:31.464 --> 00:09:33.424
I have a recommendation for how you should rest with you. I said,

00:09:33.664 --> 00:09:35.104
rib injuries are no joke. I do have stories.

00:09:36.404 --> 00:09:42.164
I got stories. We'll do as many or as few as are valuable for the duration of the show.

00:09:42.484 --> 00:09:45.404
But I'm talking about it. Just anyways, he was like, I'm just like,

00:09:45.524 --> 00:09:48.024
he's like, I'm losing my fucking money.

00:09:49.904 --> 00:09:54.884
So anyways, he and I talked about it. the right ways to approach his training

00:09:54.884 --> 00:09:56.544
sessions and he also was like i want to wrestle,

00:09:58.264 --> 00:10:02.164
difficult wrestling classes so yeah so all right homie like you know i love

00:10:02.164 --> 00:10:05.684
this let's just be smart i had to put my coach hat on i had to like kind of

00:10:05.684 --> 00:10:10.884
caution first but also like you know uh and so which which i guess leads me

00:10:10.884 --> 00:10:15.324
into like the tweet versus injury if let's say you're that's a continuum you

00:10:15.324 --> 00:10:16.864
don't feel like you're like catastrophic.

00:10:18.104 --> 00:10:24.204
The only and I guess this is like my thought process I'm capital I and that's

00:10:24.204 --> 00:10:26.504
the end of the spectrum you need to ask yourself,

00:10:27.724 --> 00:10:35.244
I think it's a big picture it's a triage to what degree of prioritization do

00:10:35.244 --> 00:10:41.724
you want to put full and immediate recovery on what just happened can I balance recovery,

00:10:42.484 --> 00:10:46.184
and that's really what we're talking about if we're closer to the tweak end

00:10:46.184 --> 00:10:51.884
of the spectrum I can balance some yeah tweak I don't like tweak I want to feel like no,

00:10:52.404 --> 00:10:56.104
100% as possible in my body whatever that means when you get to a certain age

00:10:56.104 --> 00:11:00.644
at a certain point mileage and years brewing lots of small things like 100%

00:11:00.644 --> 00:11:03.464
is an interesting color perhaps this is the right place I'm talking about,

00:11:04.613 --> 00:11:09.613
None of us. Yeah. I'm just going to say it, right? No one's ever really 100%.

00:11:10.333 --> 00:11:14.593
But 100% of what? 100% of functional? I think it's kind of like that's the thing.

00:11:14.653 --> 00:11:15.353
It's like, I'm functional.

00:11:15.853 --> 00:11:20.133
Dude, I mean, you know these guys. There are dudes in the mat who's always fucked up. Man, I'm trained.

00:11:20.833 --> 00:11:25.993
I'm functional. It's sort of like, am I functional? Am I dangerous still?

00:11:26.553 --> 00:11:32.973
Or am I like, no, this is a... Like, if you can move and be dangerous in any capacity.

00:11:34.973 --> 00:11:38.073
Personally. I'll find an injury. You'll find an injury.

00:11:39.093 --> 00:11:44.413
I'm banged up. I'm banged up right now. But you know what? You can tell the

00:11:44.413 --> 00:11:46.653
point where it's like, as long as I don't do this.

00:11:47.633 --> 00:11:49.813
That's the difference between the tweak and the injury. That's the thing.

00:11:50.073 --> 00:11:51.613
And I think that's the core, dude.

00:11:51.973 --> 00:11:54.573
That's the core. If we can just summarize, as long as I can do this,

00:11:54.653 --> 00:11:55.693
it's basically the sentence.

00:11:56.773 --> 00:12:00.993
You want to be able to say. Sometimes the answer is, I can't do this, or I can't do anything.

00:12:01.353 --> 00:12:04.313
Sometimes, I have no idea. knock on everything like thankfully

00:12:04.313 --> 00:12:07.533
like i feel like off most of the time there's something

00:12:07.533 --> 00:12:10.433
i can't do that's the sentence as

00:12:10.433 --> 00:12:13.813
long as i can do this that's the cool thing about jiu-jitsu you

00:12:13.813 --> 00:12:19.333
spoke about this in our last last episode which is like if you get enough that

00:12:19.333 --> 00:12:25.433
time um and by the way these this is a psychology i want to be on the mat in

00:12:25.433 --> 00:12:29.513
any way i can i don't know what else to do yeah yeah it usually comes a little

00:12:29.513 --> 00:12:31.633
bit of tenure right like it's just too.

00:12:34.093 --> 00:12:39.413
You also can be aware or you should be aware this is the most of the time this

00:12:39.413 --> 00:12:42.013
is the moment for a lot of people which I guess I would say we talked about

00:12:42.013 --> 00:12:47.893
this before the show started like injuries can be very useful very useful because it teaches you like,

00:12:49.193 --> 00:12:53.433
it teaches you you might get a little nervous you might get scared like there's

00:12:53.433 --> 00:12:56.453
like going to be some psychology overcoming like injury like when am I back

00:12:56.453 --> 00:13:00.093
to 100% have I fully healed from my thing like when can I start taking risks on my thing,

00:13:01.894 --> 00:13:05.174
gonna have to like figure that out for yourself there's no

00:13:05.174 --> 00:13:07.994
one i don't believe there's one that but it's

00:13:07.994 --> 00:13:13.094
an eventuality you know we want me 100% um

00:13:13.094 --> 00:13:17.834
but when you self-assess and you're like all right me and michael go you're

00:13:17.834 --> 00:13:24.154
fucking banging it out just my knee got a little bit crept over too much and

00:13:24.154 --> 00:13:30.334
like now my look at this fucking spring you but you can most of the time you

00:13:30.334 --> 00:13:31.714
start your pattern recognize.

00:13:32.994 --> 00:13:39.774
Scenarios that it's usually high velocity high action both great that's the

00:13:39.774 --> 00:13:46.254
best card you gotta do that stuff you don't wanna be completely risk free but you can because of this,

00:13:46.794 --> 00:13:50.314
and knowing that that's not the only way to train some might even say it's not

00:13:50.314 --> 00:13:53.974
even the best way to train you need that you need that stuff you need that full

00:13:53.974 --> 00:13:57.694
clip go go go go but most of your best training sessions,

00:13:58.614 --> 00:14:01.474
really won't um so sure for

00:14:01.474 --> 00:14:04.254
sure and with that said going back

00:14:04.254 --> 00:14:07.694
to like i said your statement was like i can as long as i can do this dude

00:14:07.694 --> 00:14:13.934
you'll you let's say you got your tweet say the tweet end of the spectrum you're

00:14:13.934 --> 00:14:20.634
like all right my elbow my left elbow and i know my training partners i know

00:14:20.634 --> 00:14:24.214
mike really well mike's not gonna like fucking try and hurt me if i tell him

00:14:24.214 --> 00:14:25.254
please don't hurt my left.

00:14:26.390 --> 00:14:29.350
We're gonna we're gonna and this is a cool thing there's so many

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:35.250
ways we're trying slow act drilling skill development perhaps flow rolling or

00:14:35.250 --> 00:14:40.170
regular rolling I just I can't use my left arm to follow things so sometimes

00:14:40.170 --> 00:14:43.890
it's gonna be like as long as I can do this which has so many effects and infinite

00:14:43.890 --> 00:14:47.630
which is really awesome there's I went through this statement,

00:14:48.150 --> 00:14:53.530
so Steve Sturman himself so if you can do something you can do anything it might

00:14:53.530 --> 00:14:56.190
be better sometimes to load on and say as long as I don't do X,

00:14:56.910 --> 00:15:01.970
sometimes it's really that this is the thing that makes it hurt oh it hurts

00:15:01.970 --> 00:15:04.850
when I go up, down, left, right alright, you can't do up, down,

00:15:04.850 --> 00:15:07.470
left, right just don't do that you won't do that, you're going to hide that arm,

00:15:08.310 --> 00:15:10.310
and you've got the trust in your dreams.

00:15:13.084 --> 00:15:15.064
Here's what I can do. Here's what I can't do. Touch this. Just,

00:15:15.244 --> 00:15:17.624
you can touch it, but like, just don't do anything with it. Catch a release,

00:15:17.784 --> 00:15:20.744
please. And like, if you grab this thing, I will tap immediately.

00:15:21.084 --> 00:15:24.884
I probably won't come back. Yeah. Three, six months. I will never roll with you again.

00:15:25.404 --> 00:15:29.144
Yeah. I will delete your number from my phone. The good news is that you get

00:15:29.144 --> 00:15:31.324
enough people in the room with training long enough. Like that's easy.

00:15:31.424 --> 00:15:33.624
That's an easy conversation. They get it like, done, registered.

00:15:34.204 --> 00:15:37.764
And then you do all the other stuff. Like I will say some of my,

00:15:37.904 --> 00:15:41.704
some of my, I don't want to say favorite, like most valuable notes.

00:15:42.744 --> 00:15:45.724
I can't do maybe a game stuff

00:15:45.724 --> 00:15:48.724
i'm doing all the time um probably maybe

00:15:48.724 --> 00:15:51.844
maybe i shouldn't be doing all the time anyways because i'm exploring different

00:15:51.844 --> 00:15:55.524
stuff i'm basically forced to do things that i'm not as good at something's

00:15:55.524 --> 00:16:01.744
in awkward wrist and elbow a knee whatever um but i can still play some jiu-jitsu

00:16:01.744 --> 00:16:05.464
rounds so get in there and play the game a little bit and like i must do other

00:16:05.464 --> 00:16:12.204
things and so then point of all this is yeah you can't do other things know your body can and can,

00:16:12.744 --> 00:16:15.804
stay in those hands as long as that can do that as long as that they will be

00:16:15.804 --> 00:16:21.604
you set those set those parameters get that dialed in and there's actually quite

00:16:21.604 --> 00:16:24.284
a bit and this stuff generally has been done at this,

00:16:25.104 --> 00:16:29.344
moderate enough pace that you're like this is another like find the line when

00:16:29.344 --> 00:16:33.444
you're hurt like find your line it's your line now your line might be like 50% max,

00:16:34.284 --> 00:16:38.584
okay you're like know that line I think because of how which is something pretty

00:16:38.584 --> 00:16:39.864
much like by the way you get your circle.

00:16:42.344 --> 00:16:46.944
I don't think I can go 100% sprint ball. Even when you're not injured.

00:16:47.684 --> 00:16:49.924
I'm overtrained, I'm this and that. I've had a shit ton of cardio.

00:16:50.844 --> 00:16:53.244
But I can do low training. Yeah.

00:16:54.304 --> 00:16:56.224
That then means you can be on the mat.

00:16:57.331 --> 00:17:01.711
And like some of the greatest like

00:17:01.711 --> 00:17:05.351
skill jumps I feel like I've had is

00:17:05.351 --> 00:17:08.611
in those like periods of time where

00:17:08.611 --> 00:17:11.731
I was having like training through

00:17:11.731 --> 00:17:14.431
or training around might be the better

00:17:14.431 --> 00:17:18.171
way to put it training around an injury um because

00:17:18.171 --> 00:17:21.031
you're able one you probably got

00:17:21.031 --> 00:17:24.211
hurt because you're doing something you normally do

00:17:24.211 --> 00:17:27.191
right like in a scenario or whatever that you

00:17:27.191 --> 00:17:30.591
normally go through or you might

00:17:30.591 --> 00:17:33.331
have wrenched out you because that's what you're probably doing the

00:17:33.331 --> 00:17:36.331
stuff you always do that's not why you got hurt but that's probably a

00:17:36.331 --> 00:17:39.011
scenario you got hurt in and now you're like well

00:17:39.011 --> 00:17:42.531
i can't do those things to that side or

00:17:42.531 --> 00:17:45.771
like so like for example i uh blew

00:17:45.771 --> 00:17:49.531
up my elbow in march don't say which one it's fine

00:17:49.531 --> 00:17:52.451
now it doesn't hurt now

00:17:52.451 --> 00:17:55.951
weirdly enough the other one hurts uh don't

00:17:55.951 --> 00:17:59.191
know why enemies will never know which one's never know it's all everything

00:17:59.191 --> 00:18:05.611
hurts guys doesn't matter um i'm just used to it so but you know like i just

00:18:05.611 --> 00:18:10.551
started training mostly to the other side and luckily it like happened to be

00:18:10.551 --> 00:18:13.791
the side i don't normally do stuff too i guess i don't So, um,

00:18:14.231 --> 00:18:18.111
but like, I just, I was like, all right, well, like I can't do X, Y, and Z.

00:18:19.831 --> 00:18:26.511
So I'm going to only do, I'm only going to do these passes or these specific

00:18:26.511 --> 00:18:28.871
attacks and holds. Um, yeah.

00:18:30.027 --> 00:18:35.327
Because it's that puts the other side, it doesn't put my bad side at risk,

00:18:35.327 --> 00:18:40.007
or I'm not exposing that side, so they don't even have to worry about grabbing

00:18:40.007 --> 00:18:43.367
the wrong thing, because the only thing that's exposed is the other side.

00:18:43.727 --> 00:18:48.407
So not only did I get better at moves that direction, but I also got better

00:18:48.407 --> 00:18:54.647
at defending the other side, because then I'm not as worried about doing moves to that side.

00:18:54.887 --> 00:19:04.027
There's a, I think, really impressive, valuable skill to learning how to navigate issues.

00:19:04.667 --> 00:19:08.527
Like, you know, in like a training environment, this is like credit to some

00:19:08.527 --> 00:19:11.187
of the eco-training, I suppose, these situations.

00:19:11.547 --> 00:19:15.507
The only stuff you can do right now is don't do it. I know the other stuff is

00:19:15.507 --> 00:19:18.747
there, but don't do that stuff. No, no, no. It goes back to the common line.

00:19:20.147 --> 00:19:24.587
It's for you. I'm purposefully to work on the scale. Well, we actually talked

00:19:24.587 --> 00:19:28.007
about this at length with RJ.

00:19:28.327 --> 00:19:33.207
Which I was like, dude, like, he has such a great skill because of his,

00:19:33.347 --> 00:19:39.827
because of his disability that he's just by default good at assessing situations,

00:19:40.167 --> 00:19:41.747
saying, how am I going to solve this?

00:19:43.347 --> 00:19:52.287
Which, like, the ironic thing is everyone has to, because your A-game competition

00:19:52.287 --> 00:19:55.907
button hit, your A-game in competition will work against a ton of people.

00:19:55.907 --> 00:19:58.867
What are you doing in the competition is like testing yourself you're going

00:19:58.867 --> 00:20:01.647
to run into someone who's going to have a solution you're going to have that

00:20:01.647 --> 00:20:07.847
you're going to be running the walls when like your UCLA works stops working

00:20:07.847 --> 00:20:09.387
so if you don't have the mental,

00:20:10.487 --> 00:20:12.787
ability to give it adjust.

00:20:14.489 --> 00:20:17.669
That get them sick something working and not working we're talking about you

00:20:17.669 --> 00:20:21.869
know physical injury stopping you from doing something that always works I think

00:20:21.869 --> 00:20:23.389
this is an example it's exercise,

00:20:24.629 --> 00:20:27.929
like basically my stories are relevant to your story it's just forced me to

00:20:27.929 --> 00:20:33.049
do stuff that I'm kind of shitty at I'm talking about the last time some of

00:20:33.049 --> 00:20:36.369
them and I'm going to look at these five things and then it's okay,

00:20:37.709 --> 00:20:39.369
sometimes you can't do your five things,

00:20:40.929 --> 00:20:44.429
and you're kind of like trash and other stuff um

00:20:44.429 --> 00:20:48.989
which is probably good practice that stuff a little while you're not always

00:20:48.989 --> 00:20:54.269
doing your best shit you do and you don't but anyways back to the rj thing he's

00:20:54.269 --> 00:21:00.149
he's by default he's minus set to like i have a problem last year i've solved

00:21:00.149 --> 00:21:03.389
um i can't use my this is the right side but i'm,

00:21:03.909 --> 00:21:08.409
your side he's always able to look at it but he wants to be he wants to win

00:21:08.409 --> 00:21:12.309
so he has that problem solving I feel like,

00:21:13.089 --> 00:21:14.269
he's more disability.

00:21:16.906 --> 00:21:20.206
Aren't you know that is all until you're in a situation like this where

00:21:20.206 --> 00:21:22.866
like hey man fuck i leave my right leg when

00:21:22.866 --> 00:21:26.886
i go knee cut blah blah my right leg i i don't

00:21:26.886 --> 00:21:31.946
want a knee cut i can't knee cut for a month and fingers crossed i do everything

00:21:31.946 --> 00:21:35.746
right maybe in a month i'll get my knee cut back still want to train but you're

00:21:35.746 --> 00:21:39.906
in pretty hard like what's the next thing and then that allows you to practice

00:21:39.906 --> 00:21:43.986
your other shit then neglecting even good by the way that might be the new discovery

00:21:43.986 --> 00:21:44.866
process you've actually.

00:21:46.766 --> 00:21:51.966
Got always worse is there I don't need any other passes this is the only one

00:21:51.966 --> 00:21:57.666
I need you don't need any other passes until you need them yeah that's the plan you need these things.

00:21:59.026 --> 00:22:01.866
Always well it doesn't,

00:22:02.946 --> 00:22:07.526
maybe two things alright the rest of me can still do something what are we going

00:22:07.526 --> 00:22:11.286
to do now and those are some of the best trainings and again the right training

00:22:11.286 --> 00:22:13.166
partners they'll like they'll,

00:22:14.246 --> 00:22:17.326
cooperatively give you like still a difficult training session

00:22:17.326 --> 00:22:21.086
that allows you to push your body challenge

00:22:21.086 --> 00:22:23.826
your mind but also allow like the thing that's

00:22:23.826 --> 00:22:28.246
hurt to not get worse to like improve yeah

00:22:28.246 --> 00:22:30.966
um absolutely i i've been

00:22:30.966 --> 00:22:33.766
i'm not going to call out all my injuries right now

00:22:33.766 --> 00:22:36.586
because this will come out don't do it but i've been

00:22:36.586 --> 00:22:40.486
training through like through i literally through injuries

00:22:40.486 --> 00:22:44.226
i haven't been training around them right now not the smartest don't necessarily

00:22:44.226 --> 00:22:48.926
don't do that if you don't have to um i've chosen this life yeah yeah right

00:22:48.926 --> 00:22:52.706
a lot of a lot sometimes in the do i say this all the time a lot of this shit

00:22:52.706 --> 00:22:57.286
is definitely do as i say not as i yeah so many of these things these are individual

00:22:57.286 --> 00:22:58.966
choices yeah the amount of like,

00:22:59.606 --> 00:23:04.706
physical pain and or risk tolerance for injuring your body it's up to you you know,

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.020
have to do it. I've committed to this. You are going to do it.

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:11.100
My wife has already known.

00:23:11.300 --> 00:23:14.180
Support Steve. She's a nurse. She has signed up for the fact that I will be

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:15.840
in a wheelchair way too soon.

00:23:16.340 --> 00:23:19.560
She's going to take care of you. The vows were said. She's locked in.

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.540
She has no option but to stay with me at this point because, well.

00:23:24.770 --> 00:23:27.430
You're like Robocop. We made promises to each other.

00:23:27.850 --> 00:23:32.430
You're like Darth Vader or something. In front of my great uncle and a bunch

00:23:32.430 --> 00:23:36.610
of other people, including Scott. I was there. He was there. He saw her promise.

00:23:37.490 --> 00:23:40.190
Gosh, she did. She can't, there's no going back. Yeah, she said,

00:23:40.310 --> 00:23:44.030
even when you're in a wheelchair and can no longer walk. I think it's sickness

00:23:44.030 --> 00:23:45.070
and health is what they say.

00:23:46.330 --> 00:23:49.390
But yeah, I stopped putting her on blast on that.

00:23:49.870 --> 00:23:53.150
Credit to her. Good for her. Yeah, credit to her for signing up for that.

00:23:53.150 --> 00:23:56.490
But like yeah we've we have made this

00:23:56.490 --> 00:23:59.370
decision that this is what we're going to do we know that

00:23:59.370 --> 00:24:02.510
at some point danger we will be too injured

00:24:02.510 --> 00:24:05.390
to do this to whatever extent we're doing it at this moment

00:24:05.390 --> 00:24:08.430
this is the moment we're playing for uh but

00:24:08.430 --> 00:24:11.590
you know like we we know that this is something that

00:24:11.590 --> 00:24:14.610
we're gonna be doing like we know like especially like

00:24:14.610 --> 00:24:18.090
i don't i'm not worried about it fine stuff's gonna

00:24:18.090 --> 00:24:20.810
hurt it's hurt forever my whole life everything's injured

00:24:20.810 --> 00:24:24.010
all the time um but i've been training through injuries

00:24:24.010 --> 00:24:27.070
right and so we have to figure out how to redirect the

00:24:27.070 --> 00:24:30.510
entire game plan around whatever got

00:24:30.510 --> 00:24:33.870
hurt in fact i have an injury i've been playing

00:24:33.870 --> 00:24:36.650
through since july uh working you know

00:24:36.650 --> 00:24:39.770
that all right we've had to pivot this game

00:24:39.770 --> 00:24:42.710
plan for don't worry about

00:24:42.710 --> 00:24:46.410
don't worry about alexa uh but so like we've we've

00:24:46.410 --> 00:24:50.130
had to readjust game plans based on injuries

00:24:50.130 --> 00:24:55.410
that pop up and like that's part of it but even if you aren't competing you

00:24:55.410 --> 00:25:01.190
can still do that with training right but so like all right i can't do i can't

00:25:01.190 --> 00:25:08.530
go to whatever side so we're going to we're going to take that move out we're

00:25:08.530 --> 00:25:09.730
not doing that move anymore.

00:25:10.898 --> 00:25:14.998
Because we can't do it without it hurting. That's going to limit our ability

00:25:14.998 --> 00:25:17.718
for the output that we want. So we're going to take that out.

00:25:18.098 --> 00:25:21.118
All right. This submission is off limits.

00:25:21.418 --> 00:25:26.838
That submission, I'm tapping too soon. Well, let's work around how are we not

00:25:26.838 --> 00:25:28.238
going to end up there, right?

00:25:28.698 --> 00:25:32.638
And that might mean you might have to, this one takes a very good training partner.

00:25:33.338 --> 00:25:37.318
That person's allowed to get there, but that person needs to have their restraint

00:25:37.318 --> 00:25:42.138
to not make it hurt, right? Like, arm bar, for example, right?

00:25:42.478 --> 00:25:44.898
Let's go back to our example from the beginning.

00:25:45.598 --> 00:25:51.198
You know, your arm, if it gets extended, it might, you don't know,

00:25:51.398 --> 00:25:54.478
because you're going to make something worse. It's going to make it worse.

00:25:54.678 --> 00:25:58.298
We're going to make it worse. You were, you decided it was a treat. We won't recover.

00:25:58.618 --> 00:26:03.398
So, all right, well, they can still get to that arm bar, because obviously them

00:26:03.398 --> 00:26:04.978
getting to that arm bar is why it got hurt.

00:26:05.518 --> 00:26:11.198
But they're not allowed to extend the arm, right? They can drop into the position

00:26:11.198 --> 00:26:17.078
and you will also be not take advantage of it and be a dickhead and use the

00:26:17.078 --> 00:26:20.158
fact that they're not going to armbar you to escape, right?

00:26:20.378 --> 00:26:24.018
Because the goal is to not allow them to get to the armbar.

00:26:24.198 --> 00:26:29.478
So we start funneling our training to A –.

00:26:30.541 --> 00:26:33.301
Us better at not ending up in those situations that got us

00:26:33.301 --> 00:26:37.981
hurt if that is the case right like if you got injured doing jujitsu sometimes

00:26:37.981 --> 00:26:41.961
it's a freak thing it wasn't actually jujitsu that got injured it caused the

00:26:41.961 --> 00:26:47.061
injury or like you know um submission didn't cause the injury sometimes stuff

00:26:47.061 --> 00:26:53.081
just pops um or all right well i can't i can't knee cut to the left now so i'm gonna,

00:26:53.701 --> 00:26:57.521
i'm gonna practice everything to the right or i'm gonna do a new pass like you're

00:26:57.521 --> 00:27:03.921
saying And so we start directing and funneling and, uh, we start creating our

00:27:03.921 --> 00:27:05.641
own limitations without,

00:27:06.061 --> 00:27:10.361
and sometimes you're not limiting your partner because that will also make you better.

00:27:10.361 --> 00:27:16.001
If you can do this new game plan that you're limiting yourself on without your

00:27:16.001 --> 00:27:19.221
partner being limited around what they can do better.

00:27:19.701 --> 00:27:24.661
Right? So now we're just redirecting. We're learning, we're learning new skills.

00:27:24.661 --> 00:27:27.021
Were getting better at new things.

00:27:27.701 --> 00:27:33.721
And honestly, that's from March to July made a huge difference.

00:27:33.881 --> 00:27:35.721
March, May, April, whatever.

00:27:36.061 --> 00:27:38.521
I think it was March. Whatever, a few months.

00:27:39.949 --> 00:27:42.749
Competition to the next one there was a recovery period in

00:27:42.749 --> 00:27:46.389
the middle doing that made me way better

00:27:46.389 --> 00:27:49.549
i also think the fact that i didn't compete in there it

00:27:49.549 --> 00:27:52.729
was solely focused on getting better

00:27:52.729 --> 00:27:55.549
probably helped as well um but like we made

00:27:55.549 --> 00:28:02.069
a we i made a point of redirecting the game plan to avoid what caused the injury

00:28:02.069 --> 00:28:09.509
right like um so it's like all right well this is playing this specific passing

00:28:09.509 --> 00:28:15.169
game is what got me in the situation that led to the arm lock that popped my elbow.

00:28:16.309 --> 00:28:20.349
So we're going to do a different passing game. And I worked lately,

00:28:20.349 --> 00:28:24.369
different passing game, got looser, did less than, so like playing a little

00:28:24.369 --> 00:28:27.429
bit of a looser game, getting more to camp passes, all of that type of stuff.

00:28:27.569 --> 00:28:32.509
So changed up how it was passing. And now I have two different game plans available

00:28:32.509 --> 00:28:34.829
to me because now that thing's not an issue, right?

00:28:35.009 --> 00:28:39.089
That injury isn't there anymore so now it's like all right well now now i have

00:28:39.089 --> 00:28:43.569
an ab i have two options if this isn't working i can i can i can change and

00:28:43.569 --> 00:28:47.469
go to the other plan both of them lead to the same end goal this is just one

00:28:47.469 --> 00:28:53.409
part of the game and so ultimately get better at jiu-jitsu right um,

00:28:53.969 --> 00:28:58.209
so that that's my most recent one well that's the most recent one i'm willing

00:28:58.209 --> 00:29:02.909
to talk about at the moment we'll go into deeper we will talk deeper afterwards

00:29:02.909 --> 00:29:08.129
about all of the injuries we'll do a recap on Mike's injuries at the end of the season.

00:29:08.649 --> 00:29:15.129
Um, but, but yeah, I mean, so like that, that made a huge difference in terms

00:29:15.129 --> 00:29:20.029
of just skill acquisition was the limitations, right?

00:29:20.169 --> 00:29:24.329
You start creating, you start self-limiting, you find a way to still train,

00:29:24.329 --> 00:29:26.849
but you also don't push yourself.

00:29:27.009 --> 00:29:30.469
And like you're saying, pace makes a difference, right? Training partners makes a.

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:37.000
If it's worse than that right like what

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.760
if it's something that you can't just make

00:29:40.760 --> 00:29:44.480
a new game plan for right like it's something that ah like

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.880
i really can't roll yeah

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.480
right like at all like you can still train but

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:54.700
like all speed's not an option what what

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:58.000
what do you what do you recommend for that well okay so that's

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:02.880
another like i can as long as i can do this that's

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.700
another goes back the same like decision matrix or questions you have to answer

00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:10.980
you have to dial it and text me back even like so you might find yourself in

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:16.300
a situation so determined to equally escape yeah seriously or you can do like

00:30:16.300 --> 00:30:20.260
i mean again like this is why there's there's so many ways to train,

00:30:21.140 --> 00:30:28.900
like you're rolling in any capacity about a situation we can move a little maybe like resistance,

00:30:30.080 --> 00:30:32.640
limited resistance. You can simulate some kind of thing.

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.340
If that isn't an option either, then it might just be like, you can potentially do something.

00:30:38.900 --> 00:30:43.260
So if this scenario is worse than that, you've got to ask yourself.

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:47.420
At a certain point, we all know the option of just say, hey, just pause and let it be.

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.340
Always on the table. Sometimes that's the best answer.

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:56.240
But if there's something you can do at a minor capacity, then that's it.

00:30:57.060 --> 00:30:59.700
When was the last time you just hit a escape?

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.740
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, for real. By the way, I say just hit a escape

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:09.000
because I was in the morning when I drank. You know, live scenario.

00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:15.560
So, maybe I get one good hit a escape for practice and I'm fully up. You know? Yeah.

00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:18.880
Or bridge. Or whatever. You name the constituent movement.

00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:23.660
And there's definitely nothing bad about saying like, you know,

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:29.000
man, I'm pretty much inoperable with a partner, let's just go to the Muslim

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.980
troops, on my own, and I can hear it with my doctor.

00:31:34.332 --> 00:31:39.232
Can bridge and I can hip escape. I can trip on my own for a few minutes a day.

00:31:40.232 --> 00:31:44.652
Whatever is keeping me from training for the instruction.

00:31:47.332 --> 00:31:51.452
Dude, that's what's bad about that. It's not as satisfying, perhaps,

00:31:51.552 --> 00:31:58.132
where we've tasted the sweet treat in school and sparring which is down to the

00:31:58.132 --> 00:32:02.012
best, but it goes back to like, just a second.

00:32:02.752 --> 00:32:07.312
If you're restless and you're like I want to do something man I want to I just

00:32:07.312 --> 00:32:14.212
want to keep my big picture goal of mat time next number of days for hours whatever just touch the mat,

00:32:14.892 --> 00:32:18.812
dude like Gordon Ryan's guys talk about like get injured when they show up and

00:32:18.812 --> 00:32:22.712
they watch training show up and watch training man watch tutorials like when

00:32:22.712 --> 00:32:24.092
one of our guys got his leg injured,

00:32:24.832 --> 00:32:28.212
beginning of the year he and I sat and chilled in this house and watched tutorials

00:32:28.212 --> 00:32:32.452
he was literally legs up on a fucking bed watch,

00:32:33.312 --> 00:32:39.592
leg locks but like we like there's so many things you can do and that's even

00:32:39.592 --> 00:32:44.372
like a digital funny let's talk about there's stuff off the mat you can do,

00:32:45.012 --> 00:32:50.032
let's talk about that I think people get what we're saying you want to get in you want to move.

00:32:51.412 --> 00:32:56.352
Yeah I was just before we moved to off the mat I was gonna say like if you're

00:32:56.352 --> 00:33:01.132
too injured to actually train and roll I mean like if you can trust yourself

00:33:01.132 --> 00:33:04.852
to do it still show up to class, bring a notebook, dude.

00:33:05.232 --> 00:33:10.272
I've seen plenty of dudes, they heard their back, but like, you still want to bring a notebook.

00:33:11.313 --> 00:33:15.373
Take notes because you might not be doing that when you're not training but

00:33:15.373 --> 00:33:18.893
at least it's some way to like create a physical connection with whatever you're

00:33:18.893 --> 00:33:24.673
learning right or yeah do your do your drills come in do warm-ups and then just

00:33:24.673 --> 00:33:26.973
watch right like that's fine you can do it,

00:33:27.513 --> 00:33:30.533
a lot of guys if it's a big injury like

00:33:30.533 --> 00:33:33.433
after a certain period of time that gets a little like

00:33:33.433 --> 00:33:36.233
yeah i really yeah it's definitely be in front of it i

00:33:36.233 --> 00:33:40.573
don't really want to just sit here and watch for six months right yeah you

00:33:40.573 --> 00:33:43.233
know like i get that too i get

00:33:43.233 --> 00:33:46.373
that i understand but um you know

00:33:46.373 --> 00:33:50.073
like i we both had injuries like that where you

00:33:50.073 --> 00:33:53.033
know like i'm i'm just gonna show up maybe i'll

00:33:53.033 --> 00:33:57.033
come in like once a week right um i

00:33:57.033 --> 00:34:00.093
busted up my ribs can't can't really do it i can't

00:34:00.093 --> 00:34:03.813
i can't do anything i can't have a person on me um can't

00:34:03.813 --> 00:34:06.993
really turn can't do any of the movements maybe i'll i'll pop

00:34:06.993 --> 00:34:10.073
in i'll go to whatever class is convenient

00:34:10.073 --> 00:34:12.993
a week just to see something put

00:34:12.993 --> 00:34:15.633
my feet on a mat right take just take my socks off just stand on

00:34:15.633 --> 00:34:20.433
the mat for a minute um even if this you know at least see the people right

00:34:20.433 --> 00:34:25.453
like it might keep you at least connected because if you disconnect it becomes

00:34:25.453 --> 00:34:29.533
very easy to stay off the mats momentum right yeah yeah so uh before we get

00:34:29.533 --> 00:34:33.353
to the off the mat stuff i just wanted to like no i think that little tidbit. It makes a lot of sense.

00:34:34.613 --> 00:34:38.853
For sure. I mean, so much of this game is mental, understanding.

00:34:39.613 --> 00:34:43.833
So being like present around the trading room, like, I know it's like,

00:34:43.953 --> 00:34:48.853
it's not the ideal thing for most people, but that definitely has value.

00:34:49.533 --> 00:34:53.993
You can observe, you can like, you can, I mean, participating in it is great, duh.

00:34:55.271 --> 00:35:00.431
It's so fun. Yes, it is. But then you take away the, yeah, it's hard to do the

00:35:00.431 --> 00:35:03.511
not fun part of just the learning, right? Which is still fun,

00:35:03.591 --> 00:35:06.131
but you know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. The less fun part. Yeah, yeah.

00:35:06.391 --> 00:35:10.211
You can watch it. You get a whole new frame of how I really work.

00:35:10.311 --> 00:35:11.371
So you sit there and reserve it.

00:35:11.871 --> 00:35:17.011
You really can. So there's tons of ways to continue to develop your understanding

00:35:17.011 --> 00:35:19.711
and your skills. You kind of have to be methodical.

00:35:23.031 --> 00:35:28.551
You can challenge yourself to do that. and doesn't become mentally deleterious

00:35:28.551 --> 00:35:34.071
to sit there and watch the value.

00:35:34.411 --> 00:35:35.071
That's the case.

00:35:36.051 --> 00:35:40.691
You can stomach that. Show up. Watch the other guys. Maybe give some advice. Maybe coach them.

00:35:41.051 --> 00:35:44.331
That's what Dan does. He's now training.

00:35:45.491 --> 00:35:47.391
He comes in. He helps. He watches.

00:35:48.571 --> 00:35:49.871
He's doing all the right things, man.

00:35:51.691 --> 00:35:56.111
And it's also, by the way, it's a cool teammate. it's nice to see some of that

00:35:56.111 --> 00:36:00.011
I think it says a lot about the person about the discipline and how much they love,

00:36:01.591 --> 00:36:04.931
supporting Basiak which is why they don't have her guys because these guys are,

00:36:06.211 --> 00:36:10.891
healthy, I would say healthy, obsessed but they love what they do they're very

00:36:10.891 --> 00:36:16.371
keen people you know man we're all in this show of humor it's going to be tough

00:36:16.371 --> 00:36:18.311
it's going to require a different type of discipline.

00:36:19.613 --> 00:36:22.853
But like being there this

00:36:22.853 --> 00:36:25.453
is so valuable to be in being

00:36:25.453 --> 00:36:30.093
present show up man yeah yeah oh

00:36:30.093 --> 00:36:37.253
for sure oh oh for sure yeah definitely um do you watch tutorials i i do um

00:36:37.253 --> 00:36:44.953
i i don't i usually have like a specific like directed thing sometimes i look

00:36:44.953 --> 00:36:47.033
at them like i'll be like how well what.

00:36:48.193 --> 00:36:51.753
What pathway do you want to show today or like or

00:36:51.753 --> 00:36:55.393
i get like super interested in a specific like

00:36:55.393 --> 00:36:58.153
sequence or position they're like

00:36:58.153 --> 00:37:01.493
hey we're not getting to that for a while and then i'll i'll seek

00:37:01.493 --> 00:37:05.273
it out right i'll go find it or um if

00:37:05.273 --> 00:37:08.453
i was in a competition and something like i get hit with something i

00:37:08.453 --> 00:37:11.373
might want to find out how that happened right like oh like what

00:37:11.373 --> 00:37:14.873
did that person do go watch the video i'm like i'm okay

00:37:14.873 --> 00:37:17.873
so roughly this thing let's go find out what the

00:37:17.873 --> 00:37:21.093
how that happens um i don't

00:37:21.093 --> 00:37:23.873
do a lot of them right but i

00:37:23.873 --> 00:37:26.873
don't watch a lot of them but i do watch some like it

00:37:26.873 --> 00:37:29.733
i think there's definitely useful man yeah

00:37:29.733 --> 00:37:32.613
like you can i try not to like do too well because

00:37:32.613 --> 00:37:35.493
you can very easily get into that like rabbit hole like this is

00:37:35.493 --> 00:37:38.533
no longer i'm not i'm just watching stuff right like no

00:37:38.533 --> 00:37:41.373
i i get what you're saying and i'm actually in the same way man or

00:37:41.373 --> 00:37:44.213
like i would say like for me my way of speaking what you're

00:37:44.213 --> 00:37:49.033
describing is i think it was um example when

00:37:49.033 --> 00:37:54.153
i was watching tutorials with dan like i would see like watching an hour or

00:37:54.153 --> 00:38:00.753
so or also reminds me of that stuff craig jones and gary tonan i remember like

00:38:00.753 --> 00:38:06.193
watching these things and i'll do this with you you said like let me see like

00:38:06.193 --> 00:38:08.753
two and like a little bit goes along and we're like,

00:38:08.793 --> 00:38:11.593
I'll watch someone and I'll be like, all right, cool, I've got enough. This is good already.

00:38:12.273 --> 00:38:14.253
A little bit goes along with it. They'll show a thing and I'm like,

00:38:14.453 --> 00:38:17.873
because some of these tutorials there's a lot of that. Maybe too much.

00:38:19.218 --> 00:38:22.378
This is too valuable. Well, it packs a good punch where I'm like,

00:38:22.458 --> 00:38:24.818
all right, hold on. I get these two things.

00:38:26.338 --> 00:38:31.478
I can extract a lot of learning value. Taking two things. Because if I start taking too much.

00:38:34.498 --> 00:38:37.098
I take the two things. I start doing

00:38:37.098 --> 00:38:41.138
it. That's me getting, I need a few minutes. One of these two things.

00:38:42.598 --> 00:38:46.678
So I need to practice. And then I go out and practice it. Practice it.

00:38:46.818 --> 00:38:49.078
I'm not understanding if I can experience.

00:38:49.938 --> 00:38:56.558
They practice it on the subject and we can,

00:38:57.118 --> 00:39:02.858
take just a few minutes a snippet of a dance tutorial and get something new

00:39:02.858 --> 00:39:06.458
out of it which I want to do the whole tutorial too much,

00:39:07.398 --> 00:39:11.678
maybe this method of learning perhaps is my,

00:39:12.778 --> 00:39:18.538
way of maximizing it for myself but we get that new thing, that new leg lock,

00:39:18.618 --> 00:39:20.018
that new venture and then your defense or whatever.

00:39:21.078 --> 00:39:26.338
Let's just take this little like little snippet of data and make it make sense

00:39:26.338 --> 00:39:28.278
in our training. Like go a long way.

00:39:29.558 --> 00:39:32.718
I would say that plus like the only thing I like off the mat.

00:39:33.058 --> 00:39:34.678
I love watching. I like watching.

00:39:36.286 --> 00:39:39.246
Or it doesn't have to be like watching some footage

00:39:39.246 --> 00:39:42.066
maybe the home footage to self-assess and

00:39:42.066 --> 00:39:44.726
be a bonus footage dude i love you know i really like

00:39:44.726 --> 00:39:47.726
watching love watching this yeah bro i

00:39:47.726 --> 00:39:51.386
love it literally than when i watch these guys and like and for me it's like

00:39:51.386 --> 00:39:54.806
it's entertainment but it's also like cool see how these top tier things how

00:39:54.806 --> 00:40:00.506
they move operate what are the pace look like what are the what are the setups

00:40:00.506 --> 00:40:06.326
just like there's stuff i can look at and this is it's inspiring it's cool to watch,

00:40:07.846 --> 00:40:09.506
masters of an art.

00:40:11.366 --> 00:40:17.046
I'm definitely a white belt in or whatever not a black belt in and how can I

00:40:17.046 --> 00:40:22.866
observe something I'll just give an example for me,

00:40:23.626 --> 00:40:27.806
relatively in the last year or so from watching,

00:40:28.906 --> 00:40:32.366
little things that,

00:40:33.366 --> 00:40:37.006
um either it doesn't give you tutorial on your fucking heddle but

00:40:37.006 --> 00:40:40.606
like i'm like i'm looking at that and my guys are very active they're

00:40:40.606 --> 00:40:44.826
in to me i see this i see misdirection i see confusing the opponent like just

00:40:44.826 --> 00:40:48.246
faint setups like the other person not knowing when the double legs i can do

00:40:48.246 --> 00:40:52.646
a double definitely not the best at it i don't approve it but like i can do

00:40:52.646 --> 00:40:55.706
a double and like maybe i can add in some of these feints and setups that i

00:40:55.706 --> 00:40:57.006
can just see really high eyes,

00:40:57.646 --> 00:41:01.026
it's like how do they do this and then he's punching for under there's so much

00:41:01.026 --> 00:41:03.426
stuff happening more than I can even comprehend.

00:41:03.606 --> 00:41:06.466
Like, I can see this one thing, and I see the one thing that I'm going to practice

00:41:06.466 --> 00:41:08.486
and I'm going to play around with and see if it has value for me.

00:41:09.991 --> 00:41:18.131
Well, you also get to see a really cool thing with any high-level grappling competition.

00:41:18.171 --> 00:41:21.411
I actually really like watching footage more than tutorials,

00:41:21.431 --> 00:41:22.611
like you're talking about.

00:41:23.991 --> 00:41:27.551
Because you get to see the adaption.

00:41:27.671 --> 00:41:33.491
You get to see them take other fundamental movements and apply them because

00:41:33.491 --> 00:41:35.511
they just know how, right?

00:41:35.651 --> 00:41:39.291
Like, maybe don't know, but they just move, right?

00:41:39.291 --> 00:41:42.111
Like they just move in a certain they know the fundamentals are so

00:41:42.111 --> 00:41:48.131
ingrained you can see them apply them without like it being a move like an actual

00:41:48.131 --> 00:41:52.831
move because like that's where you know people talk about like the jujitsu between

00:41:52.831 --> 00:41:57.231
the jujitsu or whatever right like sometimes you just have to like do a movement

00:41:57.231 --> 00:42:00.331
and not worry about well the move is this.

00:42:01.646 --> 00:42:04.626
There's no move the move isn't the answer the

00:42:04.626 --> 00:42:07.446
answer is like just just just to move your hips away right like

00:42:07.446 --> 00:42:10.226
i just need to get my hips over my hips are over here i need them over

00:42:10.226 --> 00:42:13.446
there so sometimes when you're just like the and honestly like

00:42:13.446 --> 00:42:16.086
probably one of the that might be one.

00:42:16.086 --> 00:42:18.826
Of the better things you can do if you're if you're you know

00:42:18.826 --> 00:42:21.646
off late laid up off the mat is just like

00:42:21.646 --> 00:42:24.746
just watch people do the sport.

00:42:24.746 --> 00:42:27.386
Right um i mean.

00:42:27.386 --> 00:42:30.746
Heck we've talked about it before in competition episodes but.

00:42:30.746 --> 00:42:33.806
Even if it's not competition related but you know competition you

00:42:33.806 --> 00:42:37.906
know like watching film is

00:42:37.906 --> 00:42:42.126
something that every other sport does and

00:42:42.126 --> 00:42:45.006
it doesn't necessarily have to be to like learn what

00:42:45.006 --> 00:42:48.086
someone else does if that's not your goal whatever but

00:42:48.086 --> 00:42:50.846
if you watch like to like learn what an alert you know study

00:42:50.846 --> 00:42:53.706
an opponent but if you like

00:42:53.706 --> 00:42:56.706
just watch them you don't have to be necessarily worried

00:42:56.706 --> 00:42:59.606
about emulating a game or anything like that

00:42:59.606 --> 00:43:02.926
or picking up moves but if you just watch like especially

00:43:02.926 --> 00:43:05.626
wrestling dude you see guys they like go for a move and the

00:43:05.626 --> 00:43:08.566
move doesn't work but they like figure out

00:43:08.566 --> 00:43:11.326
how to remove their body to like just turn it

00:43:11.326 --> 00:43:14.186
into something like to make what they make the

00:43:14.186 --> 00:43:18.006
goal they had in mind happen um especially like

00:43:18.006 --> 00:43:20.846
freestyle freestyle wrestling happens

00:43:20.846 --> 00:43:24.386
all it's because there's just the rules set allows for more um

00:43:24.386 --> 00:43:28.246
but like you see them turn moves into you

00:43:28.246 --> 00:43:31.406
see them like troubleshoot in real time and you can see it

00:43:31.406 --> 00:43:34.906
just gives you that idea of how like fundamentals

00:43:34.906 --> 00:43:37.786
works right and then you can kind of watch and

00:43:37.786 --> 00:43:42.426
you can see you can find things that are consistent between

00:43:42.426 --> 00:43:47.386
different high-level competitors and you find those consistencies and then you

00:43:47.386 --> 00:43:52.526
can kind of like start kind of road mapping and then as you get healthier you

00:43:52.526 --> 00:43:58.186
can start to direct your training towards like all right well like i noticed that.

00:43:59.422 --> 00:44:02.942
Everybody you know is doing

00:44:02.942 --> 00:44:05.762
these hip movements seem to be

00:44:05.762 --> 00:44:08.842
pretty consistent i should start working those hip movements like

00:44:08.842 --> 00:44:12.002
before you can you know actually roll with someone okay well

00:44:12.002 --> 00:44:15.522
maybe i need to like work my my twisting

00:44:15.522 --> 00:44:19.282
my ability to like rotate my hips or pinch

00:44:19.282 --> 00:44:23.142
or whatever so that i can i can without

00:44:23.142 --> 00:44:26.042
having to worry about getting my hooks and i can still control the back

00:44:26.042 --> 00:44:29.002
or i can still do whatever right so like i think

00:44:29.002 --> 00:44:32.042
there's a great value watching that

00:44:32.042 --> 00:44:35.062
high level stuff because for the most part one they

00:44:35.062 --> 00:44:37.762
probably they all do like they have

00:44:37.762 --> 00:44:40.442
one or two things they're really good at you probably find if you

00:44:40.442 --> 00:44:43.202
want to just learn to move you can find that whichever guy does the

00:44:43.202 --> 00:44:46.522
thing you want to learn because they're doing that one thing but also

00:44:46.522 --> 00:44:50.162
you can just kind of see like the importance of fundamentals

00:44:50.162 --> 00:44:52.762
and so you can figure out all right if i

00:44:52.762 --> 00:44:55.842
just stripped everything away i can only do three things

00:44:55.842 --> 00:45:01.782
what can i do right so you can kind of create that roadmap for your recovery

00:45:01.782 --> 00:45:10.702
since we're talking about injury um but yeah i mean it's it's so helpful to

00:45:10.702 --> 00:45:14.802
be able to study i guess studying is a big deal you're here buddy.

00:45:16.284 --> 00:45:24.644
