The Goalpost Moves

​Here’s what’s interesting about grappling in my opinion, you are probably never getting beaten up as bad as you could be by the people that are better than you. It happened all the time when I was coming up that I would start thinking I was having success or I was doing better, and although that was true, my training partners had another level or six. I can almost guarantee that anybody who is better at Jiu Jitsu than you is coasting at whatever level you will let them when rolling. The whole martial art is predicated on “efficiency” which is code for how lazy can I be and win, so they’ll just keep moving that benchmark until one day hopefully that goalpost stays put or you start moving your carrot.
