This week, handle your business on the mats with your “B” game. Leave your “A” game at home. Try new moves and practice things you aren’t good at already. You are going to get defeated by people who you usually dominate. That’s ok. It is in these valleys that we learn how to climb higher. New skills take time to acquire so don’t be afraid of failure and go practice something you aren’t great at.

What motivated you to start learning Jiu Jitsu or self-defense?

New folder added to the "Premium Member Courses" classroom. Private Lesson Clips. The clips add some additional context to some recent Q&A discussion. I enjoyed watching how Professor James used a constraint for the top person (don't grab the head) to help the bottom person practice the escape. Special thanks to @Clay Cox for sharing his family time with all of us. 🙏 Standing headlock and guillotine defenses have also been added to the "Standing Self Defense" folder.

Which guard skills make guard passing challenging —and why? For me, guard players that aim to get underneath (single x, full x, K guard etc) through constant angle changing and off balancing, I find most challenging.
