      There instructor who do extned, but it takes some more reasearches to find those videos. I spent years and years oin that very same topic (how bjj hobbyists can improve with less training time).
      Few years ago, I made it a point of honor to train, drill and try the bottom half. By the end of the year, most students asked me if I could use another guarding game cause my % success with the bottom half went exponantially to the roof.
      In 2016, I spent te bulk of my time looking for kimuras. But the end of one semster, I could kimura 98% of students in class.
      Today, I'm far ahead of that one year plan one technique. I have reach my dream goal and keep working at it.
      I was told that most high level grapplers, dont think about their next move. They drill systems and sub systems which help hobbysits like me to roll with anyone. One system is: when the partner posts, boom, you explode and wizzer into his back, if he blocks it, sweep him. Drill that hundred times.
      In that same rolling round, if I get caught in the close guard, 98% of partners will micro adjust their close guard, that's my trigger to boom rush open it. If they never reset it, I wait the moment they'll bring my back near their head, then I boom, front double hand choke, works wonder.
      I could go on and on. That's what 20 year hobbyist does. I can now recodnize 99% of moves and enter each one into its trap system, which means, while the student thinks I am randomly rolling with him (which I NEVERRRRRR do), he's actually trapp into many sub systems.

    Let’s hope the next generation of grapplers and coaches are even better than Danaher and Gordon Ryan. It be a waste for us NOT to improve on everything John and Gordon have provided for the jiu jitsu community, to gain a new standard of coaches and competitive grapplers, we’ve come so far and there’s so much we can do all together to create the next best, the next G.O.A.T.
    One of those methods is becoming better in a manner we’re we know where we’ve failed and how we’ve solved each individual problem and how to course correct from true failures. Second one is interacting with all sorts of mediums of grappling so we can find better methods to cater to each students style, body and learning pattern. Thirdly, is to just create stronger newer teachers with even accumulated knowledge and teachings crafted in their minds to be given to the next.
    Hope this inspires someone.

      Lmaoooooooo lex is so weird. He's this big believer in attaining a certain number of reps which is actually not the entire picture. Skill development does somewhat have to do with rep # but it's not like some specific number and it really depends on the person. There are some people I've trained with who pick stuff up right away and others who never learn lol.

    • @rsps12

    • @loverofhumanity
      @loverofhumanity Рік тому +1

      @@rsps12 you nailed it. I was a solid high school basketball player (averaged 15 pts a game my senior year) but no matter what I could never develop a consistent shot. I practiced every day for 10 yrs and no matter what I did I couldn't improve. When I turned 29 I decided to break my form down and slow everything down. I decided no matter how long it took I would work on perfecting my mechanics and focus on each step of the jump shot. This was in the middle of the season for a mens basketball league I was playing in. In those 2 months my shot improved more than it did in those 10 yrs of training. The weird part is it actually required less work in terms of physical energy and more just skill oriented work. Breaking down each component of the skill and then putting it all together and then eventually speeding it up to game speed. This might sound crazy but I genuinely changed my viewpoint on skill development and believe that anyone has the ability to learn any skill at any age buy as you said it requires perfect practice. Most people practice incorrectly and quit because they don't think they're any good. The crazy thing is now because I have the form in my muscle memory even when I don't shoot for weeks I can go to the gym and hit 70 percent of my jumpers. Whereas before when my form was wrong if I didn't go to the gym for weeks I would have been airballing most of my shots.

      In mma you're correct that wrestling is far better. Actually the 2 most important aspects of mma are takedowns and control(position). Thats why wrestling or even something like judo would be far more useful. If you look at the Dagestanis they've mastered those 2 aspects of fighting which is why they're impossible to beat.
      Honestly you could become a great MMA fighter with elite wrestling and just basic submissions you could learn on UA-cam.
