84,2 - BJJ class slow roll:-)

Looks like my shoulder did not like the privious rolling session. Today I'll ask every partner to do BJJ chess with me. So no resistance and low intensity, but good technique. Today I'll focus on balance and breaking posture - even thou rolling is with no resistance slow roll.
Reflection on bjj class: Slow roll did not work today and chess was too slow and felt too unrealistic. I was not focused enough - too much on my mind.
But theme at the class was grip breaking and unbalancing your opponent so it was all good:-)

Yesterday I watched a very interesting video on periodization of strength training for BJJ.Interesting was that they build up first max strength and then strength endurance. In classic way it would be the otherway around. First a good base with rep 10 - 20 and after that strength with reps 6 - 8. ( if you need to peak then drop the reps to 2 -4). BUT for BJJ you need to do fast reps and simulate the actual moves and that was the last period.

Learning from Internet

A very interesting point was made about learning from internet - it can slow down your development! This is the same argument that Gracie instructor made about following other schools. With other instructors teaching is not so systematic, but Gracie teaching speeds up your learning process because they understand the order you need to learn the basics. I think this is all true. Internet can harm your learning process. May instructors can hinder your learning. Some Gracie instructors are good. BUT... this might not be the whole truth:-)
With powerful tools you need to be careful... think and observe and see for your self.

BUT... what makes learning slow your progress? It's learning wrong things. It's learning with out a context. Learning wrong techniques.

How to learn faster?
Follow basics - from any source (I follow from your clubs curriculum. Other souce could be Gracie university ).
Try to find out the concept or principle in the technique - what makes it work.
Do not try to learn many techniques - more about how to survive and manage your self during rolling.
