Stop Thinking About Techniques As A BJJ White Belt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Recently one of my White Belts asked for tips on remembering techniques when he rolled. He said that there is so much stuff going on, and he can't remember techniques when he rolls. He just brain farts.
In this video I share an analogy about how BJJ is like music in a way and I explain how it's a little different than what you might expect. And you should not try SO HARD to remember techniques.
Many people who are new to BJJ start by trying to develop the ability to consciously memorize techniques during rolling. When in fact, it doesn't happen like that. We call it muscle memory for a reason.
More often than not. Your body will figure out how to put it all together well before you can consciously think about what exactly you're doing. This is why someone can execute a technique without being able to appropriately break it down and teach it to someone else.
If you do end up being able to consciously think about the techniques when you roll, it's usually an afterthought. The move has already started and it's just a fleeting thought in your brain.
In most cases, if you have to think about the technique you plan to use too much. It's too late and your opportunity will be lost..
Saulo Riberio has a great quote, "If you think, you are late. If you are late, you use strength. If you use strength, you tire. If you tire, you die."
I think what he is touching on is the importance of your body executing techniques in BJJ intuitively. Without having to remember techniques.
In my opinion this intuitive ability is developed through mat time and drilling.
You'll know you are starting to develop this ability when you begin going off of "feel" opposed to thought.
Also, if you're new to BJJ. Be ready for the occasional "Aha" moments that will occur from time to time. Where things seem to fall into place.
I share in the video that doing BJJ is like playing an instrument.
As a musician feels the music and knows exactly which chords to pluck just off instinct. The more your abilities in BJJ develop. You'll find yourself doing things, not because you thought about them, but because they felt right.
So stop stop trying remember techniques as a BJJ White Belt. Remember what you can and be sure to drill your techniques a lot, and let your body do the rest. Don't let the mind get in the way.
Hope the video is helpful!

I doubt you’ll ever read this but thank you so much for putting out such incredible content for free!!!! You are a great man
JD Young thank you and you’re welcome.

Set little goals, like, 'ok, last time I got tapped out 20 times. This time, I'm gonna focus on keeping my elbows in tight and only get tapped 18 times'. Pretty soon, you aren't getting tapped out so much, and then start turning the table.
oh god sounds like me right now too bad im stubborn and will continue showing up for bjj if theres one thing i hate more then tapping out is giving up
mike harvey fucking loser I was tapping red belts after doing Jew jitsu for a month
Yeah MK4, you really sound tough in a youtube comment section.
mike harvey wait what 😩
mike harvey i get tapped like 5 times. but ima try this. because i kno if i keep my chin tuck or elbows tight i dont get submitted
So like any other skill, no matter if learning to code or training Jiu-Jitsu, it's about practice, repetition and patience
Coding kind of hits home for me now that you said this. In the beginning I had no clue what I was doing, but now I kinda 'feel' what is the right way to go.
@@petery5905 good 👍
This method of education is called "Rote" I'd encourage you to read up on it. It's used for most things in life, especially school, first responders, and military. The art of making something a perfect habit.
Don’t forget focus
I boxed for 5 years and I was used to getting smashed for once in a while. Now I am doing twice a week MMA and twice a week bjj. For me it is not about losing or winning. First of all I am fighting against my ego. Imo you must be ready to learn from everybody.. Doesn't matter if black belt or white belt. Just learn
GSP said even as a black belt you gotta think like a white belt...
I never lost as many rounds in boxing, even against veterans, than I did in BJJ
J Guy I just started last year at age 45. I total get it. I still go 2 x a week and love it even though I’m getting tapped a lot. I just hate giving up.
Great comment!
Valid. I've been rolling 4 months, still feel like i dont know much more than i did in my first week but im getting props for doing things i dont even realize im doing.
Omg me too!!!! My professors will be like "Good job" and I'm just like .."What did I do?😳...How do I do it again?"
Same . Just a month and half for me but somehow I pull things out of my ass I didn't know were there lol if I'm actively trying to thinking about it I get stuck in the motions but if I just flow with it I usually do pretty decent. I still roll the wrong way or grab the wrong grip all the time but I can tell it's getting better. Just goes with being a white belt lol
What belt are you now Lol
@luanaisoares8912 Blue with a few stripes. Still get whupped like its my first day.
I've been training for two months and I feel the same way.
Had my first bjj class last night... Been watching videos on techniques for months and been watching MMA my whole life... Thought I'd be able to use some of that knowledge to my advantage... Didn't think I'd be good, just thought I'd be able to recognize positions and be able to get lucky a few times... Haha... In reality I couldn't remember any of that stuff in the heat of the moment and it felt like I was being manhandled by six armed gorilla or wrestling with a giant octopus... Totally disorienting and I was just trying g to hang on and be able to keep breathing! 😂😂😂
I think I'm hooked!! I wanna know how to do all of that! 😁🙌
Biggest advice is relax and breath brother try not to panic or use all your strength. Good luck man
2 years later you still rolling or what?
@@NotWatchingTV Good question, I'd like to know as well
Did you keep going? Just took my first class yesterday and feel the same!
You still in the game?
As a musician myself, the whole “your body will tune in” concept is a phenomenal one that should be taught, or shown, much more.
i was in 2 minds to quit after only 3 months but after seeing some of your videos aimed at white belts I am now no longer in 2 minds I will be returning to the gym as planned thanks you
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for the message. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the videos.
How you doing
Did you keep at it
@@kaiserwilhelmii6440 I did I'm now 65 kg lighter and a 1 stripe purple belt
@@bobcat7871Nice bro!
What should you do if you fart when you're rolling?
apologize
Coconut Safari go for triangle choke
Use the momentary weakness that your butt fumes will create to advance position.
Carry on.
Or apologise
I almost started crying while watching this video.
The connection with the mind and the body is the beauty I live for in martial arts.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Pussy
@@hankaghostdog I mean literally
Gay
Seeing men (who are probably weaker than me) call me gay and a pussy is pretty funny.
But I am sure the rude commenters don't realize that gay and pussy have no relevance to martial arts... But I will give them a hint...
If you think being gay or having a pussy has anything to do with martal arts, then I am not sure what exactly yu ar doing, but you are doing it wrong.
So I just finished my 2nd bjj class last night and was feeling slightly lost. I am really happy I found this video. It was very reassuring and I will use this advice going forward. Relax, breath and just flow. Thank you for this.
I started watching your videos when I first started BJJ 8 months ago and this video really helped me when I was feeling like absolute shit about not retaining anything. I noticed the other day that my body has adapted quite quickly to all the moves that I find NATURAL for me, and now I can move far more instinctually. I'm flowing during rolls now, thinking to strategize and not to panic and mentally scramble. You've just got to put in the work and trust yourself. Thanks so much, Chewy, you rock, man.
Are you still doing jiu jitsu!! I’m a female and just started
I was in the same boat with other schools until I finally got to my current school. At my current school, white belts don’t roll, period. You’re in fundamentals drilling your brains out for almost two years. Fundamentals consists of techniques boiled down to bare bones where you are encouraged to get to know technique but memorize concepts. Rolling is in intermediate, and you had to EARN the invitation to go there by getting your third stripe white.
Even once you got to intermediate, you still don’t roll. You do positional sparring. You roll once you get to blue belt. That was a godsend for me because two years in, I’m finally semi-comfortable with rolling. I’m still getting tapped out left and right, but at least I can move now.
That just opened jiu jitsu up for me and made it so much fun.
When I get home from practice, I try to write down at least one thing I learned that day.
Excellent advice! As a lifelong musician myself (and beginner in jiu-jitsu), the analogy you made about playing guitar immediately resonated with me.
Ultimately, it's all about muscle memory; the time and effort that you put into something will invariably affect how your mind and body retains that information. Keeping this mind has helped me tremendously in not getting totally demoralized or humiliated, when training.
Frustrated? Of course. But I can't allow it to become anything more than simply a matter of time and effort!
This is like tailored to me. JJ whitebelt but solo guitarist in a couple of bands. Thank you man!
You're welcome! Glad it made sense.
Nice!
1. As a guitar player who's looking into starting BJJ, I really like the analogy you made.
2. Regarding the study you were referring to, I'm pretty sure you were talking about the work of Antonio Damasio and what he ultimately called the "somatic marker hypothesis." Here, subjects' electrodermal skin activity responded differently to "good" vs. "bad" decks of cards in a gambling task (Iowa Gambling Task) before the subjects were consciously aware of the optimal choosing strategy. Great to see reference to this work outside of the lab, haha.
I have to say I am the smallest guy in my classes so it’s been pretty hard at times when rolling. I always really thought I should think of what moves I make before I do it, but know that I’ve heard what you said I’ve realized that I do better when just rolling without thinking as much compared to when I overthink a simple escape or submission.
I love how you are the Elliot Hulse of BJJ, this channel is absolultely precious!
As a new practitioner of only a month, and at the age of 44, this helps me immensely, thank you. I love your channel, so many people ask the same questions I have and you answer them so well. Good job man, i'm a subscriber :)
Are you still training?
I felt like he was talking directly to me. LOL. Thanks brother 🤙
THANK YOU! I am a gracie jiujitsu white belt (3 stripes) and started training 4 years ago and because of different problems I had to go in and out of the academy. These last few months I have been feeling great, I earned my 3rd stripe and was so happy. Today I lost it, I couldn't do technique and got frustrated because I tried so many times and still couldn't manage to do it, I just got out of the mat and started crying, I felt ashamed and sad of being stuck for so long so I searched for jj videos and your video came up. I feel so much better and relaxed! It's a long journey and I have to enjoy every part of it and learn on my own pace
MAFERBENITES :)
A white belt for 4 years. Well done.
I am now a blue belt :)
MAFERBENITES congrats!
you obviously missed the part where she said she was in and out of the academy for other reasons. Most BJJ places require you to have at least 100 classes before you can even be considered for blue belt. So do the math. if you go once a week it will take 2 years at least.. imagine if you take 3 or 4 months off for an injury or personal problem.
Im a white belt. I love learning new submissions. Im obsessed with it. Feels good when you learn the execute them in class.
Been at bjj for over a month now! Love it! Its tough for sure I have good days and bad days lol. It is so much it feels like. But gonna keep at it no matter what. Channels like these are so helpful. Gonna keep updating my experiences on my channel too.
Thanks for always putting out good information to us white belts! Very much aporeciated!
This video was exactly what I needed. Felt lost the first few times I rolled. I tend to overthink and try to perfect every movement from the start. I usually fall back on my wrestling knowledge which was eons ago. I think what it probably comes down to is just showing up ready to learn, showing up consistently, and spending a lot of time on the mat. Great video. Thanks for posting. I’m sure there are many in the same position as me starting out.
Been following Chewy for almost a decade now. Probably my favorite channel.
Wow! Thanks for posting this videos, it is really overwhelming being a brand new white belt. I feel very frustrated most of the time, I thought it was just me! :)
I’m so glad I came across your page! I’m a new white belt and all of your videos especially this one has helped me so much! I’m always hard on myself and I’m an overachiever so it’s been very hard mentally for me because I can’t remember everything I’m taught and I want to become good fast but of course that will take time so thank you I needed this video! Drill drill drill got it and relax my mind
In short we need to attain ultra instinct.
Nice video.
@chewjitsu I'm a fresh white belt doing BJJ three days a week and what I love about it is that it feels like more than a martial art. After training and rolling (and sucking), I go home and I ask myself, "What did I do wrong? How can I get better?", so I take notes and have a UA-cam playlist with plenty of your sage wisdom. Your videos have been a great guide and learning tool throughout my BJJ journey, so thank you so much for helping me "embrace the suck"!
That is great advice and an awesome analogy! I'm a two stripe blue belt, and I love training with white belts to help set up situations in a controlled, flow rolling fashion.
Helps them get the feeling of putting techniques together with timing. And I get to use more of a thinking game where I might try to gain a certain position and work through a cycle of light attacks/defenses so we both learn.
Fergus, I also am a two stripe blue belt and completely agree. I feel that by having to sometimes explain a technique you first need to analyze and deconstruct it yourself. And by doing that you gain more insight and understanding. So I learn by helping/teaching others as well. (I don't want to suggest I am teaching, I mean during class while rolling and stuff)
That guitar analogy was brilliant! I play guitar as well. Ive been playing for 16 years and it comes to me naturally now. I don't have to think much about it unless im learning a new song. The same for BJJ. I will take this lesson to heart and remember that I am not meant to learn all these techniques right way.. Thank you for such a refreshing new perspective. Hopefully one day, I can roll with you at your gym. OSS
greetings from Australia,
I am a 46 yo white belt,good to know other white belts have the same probs.did my first transition without thinking last week . muscle memory does sink in after a while.great vid thank you.
You're welcome Robb. Thanks for the comment brother.
This guy's approach is much like that of Elliott Hulse.
Jordan Aaron Smith that is EXACLY what I was thinking lol
Good to see the work of Elliott is reaching multiple communities in the fitness world, I have a feeling he will be on the Joe Rogan Podcast soon... Elliott recently came into contact with Wim Hoff, a fascinating combination...
Jordan Aaron Smith just gotta breathe into BJJ balls man
Mr breathing with your balls? lol
Spirit Splice aha
So helpful as a 40 year old guy just starting BJJ. So glad I found your channel. Thanks man!
How difficult is it to start with bjj as a 40 year old? Im 41, doing some other martial art and considering starting bjj.
Just started Jiu-jitsu....This is so relevant to me. Your the man, thanks for the great content! 👍🏾👍🏾
This is what I needed to hear. I'm very new to bjj and try and pay attention as much as possible in fundamentals and soak up as much as I can. When I roll it all goes out the window and I basically go into survival mode. Thanks for the video!
I just started jiu jitsu a week ago and after my first day (with an incredible student teaching me) I realized that my mind would go blank.
Except, my body felt like a machine using muscle memory. It started feeling like instinct.
I just started, but like anything new, the more you do it, the more natural it comes.
Are you still attending?
I don’t know too much about Jujitsu, I’m a Carpender I could drive nails very fast didn’t start out that way so I understand what you’re saying
Thanks so much! I'm a white belt and I also have that same experience. I get brain fog. I tend to favor certain techniques but rolling is ever changing from position to position. Thanks for the advice.
I needed this talk
Man, thank you! I'm a white belt and it's very reassuring to hear this!
Glad to hear the white belt focused videos are helpful to you!
Exactly what I needed to hear thanks. As a guitar player I love the analogy. Can emediality relate it to my experience.
Been training for 8 months and I thought I sucked and wasn't growing because higher belts were beating me. This just made me laugh, thanks I needed it. that guitar analogy is so so good
Thanks for this video. Helps a lot. I’m only 3 wks in and it’s tough
I hear you. I’ve been to a place for a over a month and every class feels like day 1 (I mean that in a bad way).
I’m about a month into my jiu jitsu journey and about 14 into my guitar journey and I gotta say this analogy to the guitar was so helpful for me..thank you for all the knowledge brother!
As a musician and bjj practitioner this was great. Nailed it.
Im in bjj for 2 weeks, and your videos help me a lot brother. Keep the good work !
How's it coming along bud?
Had my first ever roll yesterday, it was outstanding. Come home heart pounding watched about 10 of your videos.
Have a rugby background and injuries have stopped me playing, so I need a new sport I think this is the one!
Thanks for the vids
I love the analogy of the guitar with learning to roll.
its all muscle memory
That’s a fact. Short of fundamental movements such as shrimping and forward/backward rolling, technical movement is end-stage white belt or later. Don’t bog yourself down with things you can’t understand yet.
Did my first class of Jiu Jitsu a few days ago, I was so lost and confused but it was fun.. I would have quit if i didn't watch your videos! You helped me a lot! Thank you
PERFECT analogy for guitar playing/practicing anything
Thanks chew. Grabbing grips second nature to me now. Helps me to get better control when rolling. My old buddy said u control the grips u control the roll
One thing I took away from this was muscle memory!! I play guitar an your analogy really made sense. Thanks coach
Man I'm really glad I watched this video, it gives me such a boost when I hear things that I can relate to directly. Thanks
great video and advice. I am a black belt in guitar but only a blue belt in jiu jitsu and I often compare the two, or use my success in learning and playing music as a blueprint for jiu jitsu.
I believe this applies to multiple levels (I’m 3 stripe blue) looking for that AH HA Moment……This video is amazing, excellent insight!!
Thank you,
Aaron
As a guitar player I concur tap in to your intrinsic nature in any facet of expression you explore
I love to hear advice that i heard before from my professor.. It just validates him more.. Thanks you for this great advice.. It is so overwhelming yet so rewarding, everything im learning as a white belt...
I feel the same way, all the time after class or when we are live rolling. I’m like how did the move go?! Man frustrating.
thank you man, really. ive been training for about 4 months and ive talked with my coach about this and he said something similar but hearing it again helps me a lot. especially now where im home for the holidays and cant train and being sick.
OSS
I talked with my instructor and said this - I was unconsciously bad @ bjj, now I’m conscious at how much I have to learn…I’m looking forward to getting to consciously aware of being good then…unconsciously good. It takes TIME. I am just showing up. Realized I saw a time or two where offense opportunities presented itself. I’m with it.
45yo white belt Osss
My second day i got outstanding advice.
When asking a more advanced student what to do in a situation. He simply said. “ Man i could tell you, but then all you will do is nothing but concentrate on whatever i say. Just roll and have fun”
I play guitar and this is spot on. I know JJ feels weird now but guitar felt that way one day, now I shred due to muscle memory practicing scales again and again so hopefully one day I will build experience in JJ and understand it more
Very good analogy. I find that having learned the guitar in the past has really helped me with learning to learn. It's a great skill to know how to learn because you start "feeling" the motions.
Thanks for the comment. Glad the analogy made sense.
I've begun to go by the feel of things. I also got better as I understood the different ways that the body works, as far as what things hurt the joints etc.
Instinct and hard work goes a long way.
Just had my first jiu jitsu class yesterday and loved it! I had experience with wrestling when growing up but that was over 20 years ago and this is quite a bit different. I can see how it is frustrating. I already feel after my first class that I want to know more but have to just tell myself to take it slow, enjoy the process and have a good time. Thanks Chewy for your videos. These videos gave me a push to take my first step.
I was having the same problem before i left for college i felt like i wasn't able to retain the information but this video gave me motivation to get back in the gym and just keep going.
Thx so much. I struggle so much with this. It’s literally hard to shut off my brain.
Thanks Chewy. Always a thumbs-up. I tune in every day.
Thank you so much for this. I really thought there was something wrong with me. I would freeze up because I would try an think of a technique. But listening to this really helped me understand a little more. Thanks
You're welcome brother! I'm glad the video, and the analogy inside it, was helpful.
+Chewjitsu Sister actually. but it's all good. lol
Haha sorry about that! I thought you were the guy in your profile picture. Please forgive me and my incorrect assumption.
+Chewjitsu not a problem. he actually trains as well. he's a blue belt that got me hooked on the bjj life.
Excellent! It's great having a significant other that trains. They have a better understanding of the gym addiction. How long ago did you start training?
Absolutely love this advice and it's so true. It's like when I was learning to fly a plane and going through preflight check lists. Now these lists are huge and when you're starting you're going one step at a time very slowly. After awhile it gets faster until now i don't even think about it as I'm prepping for flight. It does get easier, you just have to get over the hump.
That guitar player analogy holds true to my personal experience, I would say I'm between a purple or brown belt on guitar ( I've been playing 7-8 years on a regular basis) and a 4 stripe white belt on the verge of being promoted in jiu jitsu. Guitar playing is all about the number of hours playing and drilling until it's completely down to muscle memory and jiu jitsu is actually very much the same way.
I found the same thing when i started.Then one day at the gym i became "aware" of everything happening in a roll and it all made sense! I think the only way you can possibly become aware is getting tapped alot at first trying stuff.the colored belts light you up as they perfect their technique on you and you do the same to the next batch of white belts when you have a colored belt. Unfortunately for us guys we are white belts for life but at times that is an advantage.
ive done so many different martial arts and im also 37.....i just dont have those problems. im not some specimen ultra creature killer or anything but ive been able to have success as a white belt even though I do think about technique. and by success I mean i get tapped out and it doesnt bother me. I also mean that I smash a lot of white belts at my level and the ones with more experience than me are finding it harder to tap me out and even tapped out a blue belt in my school and it doesnt get to my head. as long as im improving and learning, thats my success. often times for me rolling properly is my success. or being able to make it to class all four times a week in my fundamentals curriculum. im two months in and i rolled with a guy today my age who is eight years in. because of my lack of ego and martial arts background i knew how to treat this guy and he treated me well. i learned some things from him and he was able to try some shit on me. We rolled at my pace and i purposely went really slow and I got completely schooled and had no problems with it at all. i also train at 10th planet and the kind of gym culture in there is ultra legit too so there is that. anyway...bjj for life yall
Have you improved since this comment?
I been watching your vids for a while and ive finally taken the leap and got my 1st bjj lesson tonight . I get exactly what you saying with regards to the guitar as ive been playing for many years. Great vids thank you 👍👍
I’m a white belt and also a singer/guitarist and learned Italian also. The first and most frustrating stage is immersion. You jump in and get a ‘feel’ for it and over time you’ll learn the new language.
I'm a new white belt and I really like your vids. I keep finding topics I'm struggling with that you address. A big problem for me is, we're shown a technique and spend like 2 minutes trying it then we move on. It's just not enough time to learn them or commit them to memory. People keep saying it will come with time. Still frustrating!
My first class was last week and a black belt paired with me and it was so awesome to learn from him
I just started Jiu Jitsu. I played guitar for a few years. Still bang on it once in awhile. I'm not as creative/intuitive as I was when I was playing all the time, but I don't have to think about chord changes etc. That did not happen over night. I used to play 1-3 hrs everyday and at the start I totally had to think about my fingering and it was frustrating and hard at times, but also rewarding. You don't get to skip the frustrating part and just play by feel outta the gate man.
THANKS A LOT for this video.
It was exactly what I needed right now, since I am feeling exactly like your student right now (also very beginner).
Thanks for the white belt tips, much appreciated. It can get frustrating when drilling and retaining all that info.
You're welcome Ken. Glad the video was useful. Are there any particular problems you find the most frustrating?
+Chewjitsu when I drill we learn new moves each session. My biggest problem is remembering what I just learned or doing it the following session. Maybe my retention is not that good but that might be because of my age lol
Ken, not everything will stick. Oftentimes it's like a good book. You've read it several times and each time you do you see something new. The text was always there. The only thing that changed was your mental state and where you were personally.
As you progress you'll revisit things and realize that you've seen them before but for some reason, this time they stick.
In the meantime, if there is a move or position you'd like to drive home. Have you ever considered seeing if you could drill a few minutes before or after class? Grab a friend and bang out an additional 20-40 reps. May not seem like a lot. But it adds up. Or you can just set a timer (my favorite) and drill back and forth till you have to leave.
Do you have open mats available to you as well? Those can be a great time to drill a little extra.
If extra reps aren't on the table. Maybe consider a journal or even recording yourself or a partner doing the moves. The you can review back later.
Sorry for the book. I just finished writing up my training plan for the next 6 weeks and I'm in a writing mood haha.
Breathe, and survive.
Embrace the tap, I just try to be a good partner.
Chewie the college professor, quoting studies. Words of wisdom to live by!
Haha. I'd make a terrible college professor.
@@Chewjitsu Could you help me with a question? What the hell is shrimping, why do it, and how to do it properly?
This info is gold!!! Great delivery and I absorbed every bit of those tips. 👌
Im a newbie white belt, 3 classes in, any time i roll with someone, the first words to mind are "No plan survives first contact, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."
Most of my online friends are military, and I've learned a lot from them in terms of mindset.
I feel this I had my first class today and OMG so much going on.. super intimidating but I'm back for more in 2 days!!
Thank you!!! Just started last week and this helped.
So I'm about 2 months into Jiu Jitsu, and I just found your channel today. I love the mindset you talk about in this video, and in general for the most part. While this is my first foray into combat sports, I have a ton of experience with competitive gaming, which I think ironically carried over a lot to my initial training. Thank you for doing what you do
how are you now
@@wtfimcrying had to quit like a year after i posted the comment cause of financial hardship
damn that sucks, hope you find the time to get back into it.@@thewarriorofboros
Thank you! I’m feeling the pressure of this waterfall of info wondering how I can possibly keep these moves straight from week to week if I can’t practice daily.
these white belt tips are great! thank you!
I just started BJJ (3 classes) and I was thinking of this same analogy
I'm a 3rd stripe white belt. In 5 mins of rolling, if I could get 3 proper techniques in, that's a good roll.
Thank you got putting your videos out there. I appreciate you man!
The same thoughts I have when rolling. Thanks for addressing 🤙🏾
We learn best relaxed more toward a subconscious state. Breath control is vital and just relaxing and letting the moves come naturally...this is after so much repetition it's habit. I'm brand new and just trying to be a sponge and learn the basics but not over thinking it when I'm actively training. When I go home I'll research and focus more on actively processing the information but not in the ring.
