Episode Synopsis

No plan survives contact with the enemy...yet you still plan.Today, a white belt wanted to review the D'arce and anaconda choke in our morning BJJ training. We spent time getting precise on the D'arce, how to finish it, even on larger opponents, and a few ways to enter it/set it up from top or bottom.Then I get into some sales and business advice.Takeaways— Mastering techniques like the Darce choke requires practice and adaptation.— Having a plan is essential, but flexibility is key when things change.— Continuous improvement is a journey that takes time and dedication.— In both Jiu-Jitsu and business, understanding transitions is crucial.— Building relationships and offering value can lead to success.— It's important to focus on one thing until you master it.— Everything is hard until you get thousands of reps in.— Don't be afraid to ask for help or guidance in your journey.— Learning from others' mistakes can save you time and effort.— Clarifying your thoughts through writing can enhance your understanding.Sound bites— "Small hinges swing big doors."— "Don't stay stuck on something."— "Learn from my pain."Chapters00:00 Mastering the Darce Choke02:27 The Importance of Flexibility in Training04:53 Strategic Transitions in Jiu-Jitsu07:21 The Hard Truths of Learning09:51 The Power of Consistency and Reps12:14 Offering Value and Building RelationshipsSponsors:⁠⁠ActiveCampaign⁠⁠: Get the best all-in-one CRM, email, e-commerce, funnel builder, and more for just $15/mo⁠⁠Mindstudio.ai⁠⁠: Try 100+ AI Agents and build your own, completely free.
