This was so timely. Was listening to this episode while driving to a class where I thought I might get my purple belt. The class ended up being 5 min rounds for the full hour.
While I didn't get the belt, I had some of the best rounds of my life and ended the hour without feeling completely exhausted; conditioning was the best it's ever been. I felt like I rolled like a purple belt. To know the skill acquisition was there, I came home to my wife still on cloud nine.

👍 Good pod, as usual

interesting dilema- how to grade an athletically gifted young athlete that rolls super hard vs a consistent, technical, and knowledgeable older hobbyist.
