@chris_xcom Smart

@drewlock Ha. The legit answer is that I would worry more about showing the art the best and I can less about my strategy against you specifically. I do my best when I treat BJJ like golf. Im playing myself more than Im playing my opponent.

If you were competing against me, what would your strategy be?

@Vibelawyer @NelsonRockwood Good call

@NelsonRockwood @drewlock There’s actually some pretty good competition footage of Drew which demonstrates he’s clearly capable of handling people his own size and skill level. I just wanted to say “acro yoga”

@AdramNinja I’ll keep my eye you

@drewlock Is Tonya Harding vs. Nancy Kerrigan strategy on the table?

@DreJonesOnX Ok, I can’t let you get in my head. No second guessing the scrambles, sounds like I won’t get many chances

@drewlock I would try to break up your flow. Less movement, more static positions (for a time) to take you out of your element and force a move for move, tit for tat, meticulous and possibly tedious match that's the opposite of your norm.

@Habitos5punto0 Got it, I gotta stay disciplined with the hand fighting

@drewlock Slow you down. 4 connections: a collar, a sleeve and two hooks

@chris_xcom Ok, no fish hooking

@drewlock I don't want to give it away, but....

@DhammaGuy Ok, guess I’ll be pulling guard.

@drewlock Greco Roman stance as a bait for shooting and then snap down or front headlock sumi gaeshi or Russian tie from Your grab attempt, then kata guruma or ippon seoi nage. Then execution with baseball choke or with s mount kimura or tarikoplata when defended.

@WrongRamblings 10-4 I’ll stay alert for the weird stuff

@drewlock Only weird stuff

@chipbody Ok I’ll watch out for this.

@sdwesternworld @olivercgp Congrats!

@olivercgp @drewlock Thank you. They give you one eventually if you don’t quit. Still the same bad Jiu Jitsu. They just call me Professor now after beating me up

Sweeps in the gi just hit different

@Habitos5punto0 Yea usually 4 weeks out of competition I focus on finishing submissions.

@drewlock Do you complement this kind of training with more submission attempts? It's more fun, definitely, but I feel I could be neglecting a part that is essential, putting an early end to the match.

I never have a boring roll. The best part of my method is the amount of exchanges in every roll and anyone can do it. When you start seeing the environment through these perceptions, the entire pace and texture of the roll clicks. No more forcing submissions, burning grips, or staying in the same position for half the round. Instead, more transitions, more timing, more awareness, more cardio, more sleight of hand. More presence. Every round is packed with raw data. That’s why you film the rolls. Most of what you see online is optimized for an algorithm, fast paced clips, quick dopamine hits. This is different, nearly four straight minutes of continuous exchange. No pauses. Just wielding a handful of perceptions. You’ll notice my demeanor never changes. I’m not frantic. I’m not rushing. I’m in the moment. It’s serious play. Nothing is premeditated. You shouldn’t be thinking either. It should be a surprise, but you should still be ahead of the exchanges.  Find someone below your level and let your Modes of Action take over. Get comfortable reading your opponent. Get used to chasing, fleeing, and mixing them up. Develop finesse and persuasion. Condition them with a consistent pattern, then hit them with a pattern interrupt. Stay out of range of their attacks while staying in range of your own. Don’t punish them physically, encourage them to keep fighting Give them a chance to fight back and earn their turn to attack. They’ll be moving blind, while you’re there waiting at the next position. In this state, they’ll struggle to read what you’re about to throw out, and you’ll easily feel what they expect you to do. Take what’s most obvious. While you’re cooking, they’re getting reps in their blind spots. Over time, you sense the rhythm before it fully appears. You feel the tempo of the exchange taking shape. You start to understand the shape of the sound. Learn Jiu Jitsu

@Luke__86 I feel ya, but are you saying the method doesn’t work?

@drewlock You’re styling on and toying with a blue belt my man, nothing deep about it. You’re leagues ahead of him in terms of understanding basic movement, that affords comfort and playing while rolling.

@slicktrad3r The kind that orients you toward the good

@drewlock What truth ?

Like all true art, Jiu Jitsu is about truth maxing.

@baianoestranho Just watch, this is where things are headed.

@drewlock What are you talking about?

Trend alert: it's not techniques, it’s not concepts, it's Jiu Jitsu workflows. It will make people better, but it still sits on top of something deeper. You heard it here first. Learn Jiu Jitsu

@bakanafighter Good eye

@drewlock Ok now I see why your book looks like a vorticist magazine

“The influence of unexamined assumptions derived from technology leads quite unnecessarily to maximal determinism in human life. Emancipation from that trap is the goal of all education.” Support local

@bakanafighter Because environment is process not container

@drewlock Why does your BJJ book look like a vorticist magazine??
