Mellow Out

​Unnecessary tension will be your downfall. Strength is something you use in bursts, not the standard setting. Many moons ago, I wrote about rigidity being a source of injury and fatigue, this is the same conversation. Ideally, Jiu Jitsu is something that in your body feels loose and flowing, even if it doesn’t feel that way for the other person. I do my best to maintain an adaptability to how I move, because I know otherwise I will end up feeling or being somewhere I don’t want. Chill out in training, so that your base level fight or flight is better should you need it.
