There comes a point—sometimes sooner, sometimes after a few beatings

size, strength, speed, flexibility, youth or
you lack experience, understanding or direction...

You're about to discover your biggest breakthrough in your jiu jitsu journey
is about to happen OFF the mats without even breaking a sweat

If you want to know what this feels like
what it’s like to actually move forward without another trip around the injury cycle
you can book a 30-minute, private Zoom with me or a series of Zooms.
I WILL TEXT YOU AFTER YOU REGISTER

You don’t need to break yourself to break through.

 The BIG Jiu Jitsu LIE

Most of the people I know spent years convinced that
getting better at Jiu-Jitsu meant grinding harder.
More hours on the mat, more aches, a little more force each round.
And then, at some point, their bodies stopped trading pain for progress...

What they never tell you, right at the start,
is that real breakthroughs in this game
often happen when you stop fighting for them.
Maybe that’s why so many never find them.

I keep thinking about what it means to make a “quantum leap.”
And when you make that leap you realize...
Suddenly, rolling feels different.
The old pressure is gone.
You catch yourself anticipating what comes next,
not with strength, but with ease.
Real progress looks almost invisible, especially from the outside.

I wonder if that’s partly why we cling to toughness and soreness.
They feel like proof we’re advancing.
But after 30 years I can tell you they are

SUBSTITUTES FOR ADVANCING/LEARNING/PROGRESS

This isn't an "old guy" saying to never train hard.
Or you can master jiu jitsu without ever stepping on the mat.
Quite the opposite...

This "old guy" IS telling you "there is a way to train smarter" 
and this is it...

When I talk to people who stay in this game for decades,
they always describe breakthroughs that felt small, subtle,
almost embarrassing in how simple they seemed.
Winning is far less about crushing, more about noticing.

I’m not convinced mastery ever really belongs to the strong.
Maybe it chooses the ones who
slow down long enough to see what everyone else is missing.

There’s a lesson in that.
Something about leverage. About attention.
About spending less time in the echo chamber of “harder, harder, harder,”
and more slowing things down where something new can surface.

That’s why the best teachers I’ve met
the ones who can rearrange your whole game with a single question, don’t talk about grit.
They talk about seeing.
About feeling.
Connection.
About carrying what you learn ONTO the mat.

Most learning in jiu jitsu happens BETWEEN the moves, the techniques, the transitions.

I think there’s a freedom in realizing you can outgrow the story that every gain must be paid for in pain.
That maybe the next step up happens quietly,
maybe in your living room, maybe even when you’re injured, or a decade past your prime.
If you want it, you don’t have to fight for it the old way.

A friend once told me,
“Technique is patience embodied.” I didn’t understand it then. I’m starting to now.

If you’re looking for a breakthrough, maybe the question isn’t:
How do I push harder?
Maybe it’s: What happens in every single roll that I am missing every. single. time. forever?

Sometimes, mastery appears when you least expect it.
When you stop chasing "grind", and slow things down enough to see EXACTLY
what problem needs to be solved in the moment. 

I've been at this "jiu jitsu thing" for more than a minute.
and I've noticed something...

Most of what we call "learning" is just entertainment.
Class after class, another bruise. Another tweak.
Another night driving home wondering if you’re actually getting anywhere,
or if you’re just collecting stories to trade for someone else’s approval.

I used to think the only way through was to keep grinding.
Stay on the mat, take what comes, wait for the breakthrough after enough sweat and pain.

Having coached all over the world I can tell you with 100% certainty
this is 100% Boolsh*t.

Years ago I started noticing something.
The people who seemed to improve fastest the ones who learned to
escape, finish, shift the tempo of a roll without brute force
weren’t always the strongest.

It wasn’t about size, age, years on the mat.
It was about what they could see.
The hidden details.
The way their hands adjusted, the way their weight just melted into a position.
The way their opponent connected & disconnected from them

Most of those breakthroughs didn’t happen after a hundred hard rounds.
They happened in a moment of seeing something new.
A small correction, a nuance no one had ever pointed at before.

And it didn’t require getting smashed.
It rarely even required a sweat.

Imagine this:
for thirty minutes,
it’s just you and me.

Not a gym full of egos.
No timer running down.
No pressure to prove anything.

Just the space for us to talk, listen, break down whatever part of your game you want
your finishing, your escapes, your movement, your video footage.

I see the things you miss & put words to it.
Suddenly what felt impossible a week ago is just simple, unforced.

Thirty minutes is a short time,
but it can change the trajectory of an entire year.
Heck, an entire decade.

Because not every improvement has to cost you pain.
Not every gain needs to be pulled from exhaustion.

In fact I'll argue that MOST gains come from NOT being exhausted.
NOT escaping trouble, but avoiding it from ever happening.

True progress in this game comes in
doing the exact opposite of what most tell you to do.

Some things—a lot of things—can get better in the quiet.
Inattention becomes awareness. Struggle becomes clarity.
“How did I never see that before?” you’ll ask.
And you didn’t have to get the sh*t beat out of you to get there.

If you want to know what this feels like
what it’s like to actually move forward without another trip around the injury cycle
you can book a 30-minute, private Zoom with me or a series of Zooms.

Bring whatever part of your game you want to fix, no matter your age or level.
