Does flow rolling help improve one’s sensitivity to ‘invisible jiu-jitsu’ or do we need resistance? or both? I’m a huge fan of flow rolling 👍🏻 Please share your insight!

This week, practice varying your pace during training. Start slow and gradually increase your pace until the end. Go from slow to fast to slow again. Put your attention on pace and vary it intentionally instead of just reacting to your partner. Don’t worry if you miss opportunities. Notice how your partner reacts when you change pace. We are just sharpening tools that may not have been used in a while.

The PREMIUM tier of Defend Yourself is now live. https://www.skool.com/defendyourself/plans This membership tier will allow you to participate in the Live Q/A Sessions, gives you access to the recordings if you are unable to attend and gives you access to future courses. For a limited time, I am offering a special founders rate of $29/month. The cost will never be lower and you stay at this rate when price increases. Some of you have asked for even more personal guidance and attention. I have a VIP tier in the works as well. DM me if you want to be included in that program. In the FREE tier, you still have access to the community discussion. In the classroom you can access free introductory courses covering topics I believe everyone should know. More courses are coming. Thank you for choosing to be a part of Defend Yourself. As always, let me know if there is anything I could do better to serve. Mind Heart Respect, James 😉

Hey everyone, Thank you so much for being a part of this community. I am honored by your engagement and support. I started this group so that I could share what I’ve learned with people who don't have the proximity to the source that I’ve been so fortunate to have. I am truly blessed to be guided by Master Rickson on a daily basis. I trust that you have gotten something out of this trial period. I want everyone to have a place where they can feel supported by their peers and find the guidance they’re looking for. Many of you have asked for clear training paths, structure, and access to me so I am building it. More details to come.

You are out with your family and a drunk guy starts acting aggressive and yelling profanity at you. You keep a safe distance with your hands in good position trying to defuse and suddenly your wife steps in between you and the aggressor to try to defuse the situation.
