Martial arts lifestyle and self defense
I started this group to share what I’ve learned from Rickson and others over decades of training. If you’re new, comment on this post and tell me what you’re interested in. Technique videos, tips for how to apply jiujitsu principles to life’s challenges, funny stories, collaborations with other teachers, avoiding and healing injuries, finding a local school to train, self defense stories, pearls of wisdom from Rickson, live stream Q&A, online lessons, workout plans, diet advice, competition prep and strategy, breath-work, or something else. I go live on Saturdays answering questions and sharing what I’ve learned. I’ll be making posts about your interests as well so comment here. Check the calendar for upcoming events.
Not tech savvy
Couldn’t figure out how to unmute during our last group discussion. It kept saying something about browser access. I was driving at the time. Maybe it’s better to use my laptop. Any tech advice from anyone on here would be appreciated. My question was gonna be. What is something you’ve learned recently from Master Rickson off the mat? I’m sure there are tons but what is something recently that has had an impact on you that you would care to share. Thank you 🙏🏽

Invisible Jiu Jitsu
Someone in the recent live asked what invisible jiujitsu is and I wanted to give a better answer. Invisible jiujitsu is not invisible because you have to believe in it. It is invisible because you have to feel it. You have to feel how moving your foot a couple inches can make keeping your base feel relaxed instead of athletic. You have to feel the way proper weight distribution affects breathing and mobility. You have to feel what a full exhale is like and what it’s like to be truly connected to something or someone. You can start to feel the way jiujitsu invisibly improves your life through the equanimity in stressful situations. These days the enemy can come from anywhere, like an email. Some bad news gets you flustered. The invisible principles of jiujitsu are here to guide you through all of life’s experiences.
