Guard Pull vs Takedown
Twenty-two-year-old me: shoot every time. Master-athlete me: suddenly the guard pull is looking very wise and very healthy for my joints. 😂 Has this changed for you over the years, or are you loyal to one?

Even If You've Never Posted, Drop One Word Below
I know a lot of you read but don't post, and that's totally fine. But I want to hear from you too. No pressure, no paragraphs, nothing fancy. Just drop one word that describes your training right now. Sore. Motivated. Tired. Hooked. Rebuilding. Whatever it is. One word. That's it. I'll go first: Recovering.

What I've noticed about master athletes...
The athletes improving the fastest aren't always the most talented. They're the ones collecting information. A bad tournament gives them information. A great training session gives them information. A terrible night's sleep gives them information. An injury, setback, or plateau gives them information. The problem is most people only like information when it confirms what they already believe. What's one piece of feedback, data, or experience you've gotten recently that you didn't want to hear... but probably needed to hear?

Getting outclassed in under 2 min at my first tournament at brown at Pans because my opponent pulled faster and I had a terrible top game. Basically, my top game was exposed. I spent the next year + working on it. Most of it through nogi which I then adapted for my gi top game. It’s been a game changer. Top game improving and I have confidence on my feet. All from the information I received at that tournament

Doing more Nogi. It’s changed my gi game a lot, it’s improved my passing and top position as well as made able to handle a higher pace and get better at scrambles. Opened up my traditionally guard heavy game.
