GORILLA PASS SHOT SHUFFLE SPRAWL SNOW ANGELS BUENO TRIAD The days that you don't want to train and make it in are some of the best days sometimes. I've never been upset that I trained, but I've definitely been mad that I didn't. Nor do I ever leave in a worse mood than I walked in. The mats are where I feel most comfortable and where I can put the rest of the world away for a bit. One of the black belts in my home town said that he needed at least 10 good reasons to not show up, otherwise he was coming to class. There's a lot to learned in the classes you're missing. Even if you're beat up, you can train light(that is a thing). It's good to go to class when you don't feel like it, just as much as when you do. It's building a habit, it's making progress, it's showing yourself that you're capable of more than you believe. You don't have to be like me, placing BJJ before almost everything, but when the choice is go to class or sit on the couch, try to pick class more often.

SHUFFLE SPRAWL MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS ALTERNATING V UPS SIT THROUGH/THREAD NEEDLE Oftentimes, you'll hear people say not to use strength in jiu jitsu. That's not really what they mean though, because it's not really strength that's the problem. It is the incorrect use of strength, and the rigidity that comes with that incorrect use of strength that are the underlying issue. Many times when someone starts grappling their instinct is to tense all of their muscles and try to maintain that for an entire round. Maybe if you have good cardiovascular endurance you can do that for 5 minutes, but why? I can't think of a physical activity where it is recommended that you try to be as tense as you can for as long as you can. Grappling should not be different. There are times when you can use strength in BJJ, but the key is minimizing your use of strength by maximizing efficiency. I can roll for 20 minutes straight or 12 to 15 five minute rounds, because I'm relaxed, I'm not sing force arbitrarily. It also keeps me from getting injured, rigid things are much easier and more likely to break than things that are fluid or flexible. It's a weird thing to find the balance between rolling like you're made of railroad ties, and rolling like you're made of gak, but in the beginning err on the side of fluidity and your jiu jitsu will improve and you probably won't feel as wrecked.
