Listen "38. How Occam's Razor Wins Fights"
Episode Synopsis
If you get a flat tire, was it a nail or someone slashed your tires? If you failed a test, is it because you' weren't prepared or your teacher is out to get you?In these situations, it's a common principle to use Occam's Razor to choose between two options. That means, the answer is likely the one that requires the least number of assumptions. In this episode, we take a look at the common misuse of Occam's Razor and how it actually applies in life, in coaching, and in training. We'll talk about where adding more can make you less safe in self defense and less effective in MMA or even sports in general. 00:00 Introduction to Occam's Razor03:12 Understanding Occam's Razor05:40 Misinterpretations and Over-Simplifications08:33 Assumptions and Malice10:55 Applying Occam's Razor in Coaching13:32 Simplicity in Communication16:07 The Balance of Complexity and Simplicity18:22 Real-World Applications of Simplicity26:45 Mastering the Essentials of Jiu-Jitsu29:45 The Importance of Focused Training33:44 Self-Defense: Prioritizing Practical Techniques35:12 Understanding Realistic Scenarios in Self-Defense42:49 The Reality of Knife Defense44:55 Simplicity in Strategy and Training49:56 Cutting Through Complexity in Life and Training#simplicity #complexity #selfdefense #coaching #assumptions #training #martialarts #lifelessons #efficiency----Keep up with the plans:Be the first to get updates and news: secondplana.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SecondPlanAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/secondplana
