Learning BJJ, You Are Doing It All Wrong: What you need to do to speed up your path to Black belt.
If BJJ was a language the current approach of simple of Immersion for learning is wrong. Jumping into a room of beginners, intermediates and experts without a good process for retaining the info dooms you to very slow progress.The best learners of any subject matter have both practical and theoretical ways to help them understand their chosen body of knowledge and have a system to shorten up their learning loops for faster adaptations. This enables them to achieve a level of mastery many times faster than their peers.
JT & Joey discuss:
1.) Why Immersion doesn't work for everyone
2.) Primacy & Recency - Why you don't remember?
3.) What is your Learning Loop- Record your rolls!
4.) Software Engineering and Fixing BJJ Mistakes
5.) Your Mental High-Light Reel, ain't For Real.
If you have trained for a while but really struggle to progress and remember techniques then you need to ask yourself- "Do you have a good process for remembering, analysing and reflecting on what you do when you train?" If you are not sure what to do, this is the episode for you.
