The ADCC Vancouver Open has finished and I am here to tell my biggest stories, reflections, and takeaways from the tournament. I discuss my youth team’s performance, stories about horrible refereeing, and new donkey guard scoring criteria that I learned at the rules meeting. Although I couldn’t participate in the competition myself, I learned a lot just from coaching from the side.

When we begin a new skill, we never really know where to focus our learning. In a systems-based activity like Jiu Jitsu, as beginners, we need to know where to first focus our attention. What systems are most valuable, and what makes these systems so important early on in our journey? I discuss my top 5 systems for every beginner (you may be surprised). Also, I discuss my experience competing last weekend at The Revolution in Puyallup, Washington… spoiler alert; I hurt myself. I talk about my injury, what we gain from injuries, and the aftermath of the setback.

In a sport as limitless as Jiu Jitsu, every coach must ask themselves the same question… How the hell am I going to teach this stuff to people? With so many ways to structure your practices, how do we know if we are doing it right? In this episode, I discuss training to become a better athlete for Jiu Jistu, separating the weight room from the tatami, making drilling productive, and the ecological approach. Whether or not we can ever make practice perfect, we can always try.
