It's a suicide mission By the time he phoned a third time after news of the crash into the Pentagon she told him about that, too Burnett seems to have been seated beside Glick and apparently related all this information to him Were they to do nothing The two men must have agreed they were sure to die anyway when the hijackers crashed the plane They resolved to fight for their lives a Group of us Burnett told his wife are getting ready to do something I'm gonna take a vote click set on his call There's three other guys as big as me, and we're thinking of attacking the guy with the bomb So began the minutes of brave resistance the clearly-defined act of courage that has lived on in the national memory Glick and others were equipped in more ways than one to confront the hijackers Glick was 6 foot 1 and a former college judo champion Burnett at six foot two had played quarterback for his high school football team Mark Bingham was a huge man six foot four and at 31 still playing rugby a Few years earlier he had fended off a mugger who had a gun His mother got the impression as he talked from flight 93 that her son was talking confidently with a fellow passenger She felt that maybe someone had organized a plan At 9:42 a GTE. Verizon supervisor based near Chicago began handling a call from yet another powerfully-built flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer a star Oracle software salesman was married with two sons and his wife was expecting again He first dialed his home number, but either failed to get through or thought better of it instead Explaining that he did not want to upset his pregnant wife he asked the phone supervisor Lee Lisa Jefferson to pass along a loving message As they talked Beamer suddenly exclaimed shit. Oh my god, we're going down Jesus help us From the passengers around Beamer came prolong shrieks of Terror Then he said no wait we're coming back up I think we're okay now Shaken Beamer asked Jefferson to say the Lord's Prayer with him our Father who art in heaven? Just before Beamer and the operator had begun talking Cleveland lost Cleveland control lost flight 93's transponder the signal that indicates an airplanes location and altitude that 9:55 the hijacker pilot set a navigational aid relating to the plane's direction He was heading it indicated for Washington DC. Jeremy Glick still on the phone to his wife Lyz said I know I could take this guy with the bomb Then joking he had mentioned that the hijackers had knives.
I still have my butter knife from breakfast Todd Beamer continuing his conversation with the GTE. Supervisor Jefferson told her that he and a few others were getting together to jump the guy with the bomb Was he sure that that was what he wanted to do, yes came the response I'm going to have to go out on faith I. Don't have much of a choice The plane was flying erratically again Operator Jefferson heard the sounds of an awful commotion raised voices more screams. Then are you guys ready? And todd beamers voice saying let's roll a Phrase that in family life.
He'd like to use to get his children moving Okay Jeremy Glick called told his wife Liz I'm gonna do it His wife told him he was strong and brave and that she loved him Okay, he said again, I'm gonna put the phone down. I'm gonna leave it here, and I'm gonna come right back to it Liz handed the phone to her father ran to the bathroom and gagged Flight attendant Sandra Bradshaw was in the galley boiling water for the passengers to throw on the hijackers On the phone to her husband she signed off quickly everyone's running up to first class. I've got to go bye The cockpit voice recorder registered the moment the hijackers realized what was happening at just before 958 a hijacker asks is there something a fight? There's a knock on the door followed by the sounds of fighting then in Arabic Let's go guys. Allah is the greatest Allah is greatest.
Oh guys Allah is greatest. Oh, Allah. Oh Allah Oh the most gracious Then loudly stay back a Male voice a native english-speaking voice that Tom Burnett's wife has recognized as that of her husband Is heard saying in the cockpit in the cockpit? Followed by voice exclaiming in Arabic they want to get in here hold hold from the inside halt Then from several English speakers in uniform unison hold the door and then from a single English speaker stop him falled Repeatedly by sit down sit down then again from an English Let's get them Flight 93 now down to 5,000 feet had begun rolling left and right Jeremy Glick father-in-law listening intently on the phone his daughter had handed to him now heard screams in the background On the cockpit voice recorder there is the sound of combat continuing then in Arabic There is nothing Shall we finish it off No, not yet When they all come we finish it off Then from Tom Burnett I am injured The flight data recorder indicates that the plane pitched up and down climbed to 10,000 feet turned Glicks father-in-law phone clap to his ear heard more shrieks muffled now like those of people riding on a rollercoaster In Arabic on the voice recorder oh allah oh allah o gracious In english in the cockpit if we don't we'll die In arabic up down up down up down From a distance perhaps from Todd Beamer roll it Crashing sounds then in Arabic Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest is that it? I? Mean shall we put it down Yes put it in and pull it down Cut off the oxygen cut off the oxygen cut off the oxygen up down up down up down More violent noises for as long as a minute and then apparently from a native English speaker Shut them off. Go go move move turn it up Then an Arabic down down pull it down pull it down down Apparently from an English speaker down push push push push push In Arabic hey, hey give it to me give it to me give it to me give it to me Give it to me give it to me Intermittent loud air noise on the cockpit recorder Moments later in Arabic Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest? Allah is the greatest There sounds of further struggle and a loud shout from a native English speaker no Two seconds later in Arabic in a whisper now Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest? Jeremy Glick father-in-law still listening on the ground Heard high-pitched screams coming over the line Glick had left open when he left the join to join the rush to the cockpit Then wind Sounds followed by banging noises as though the phone aboard the plane was repeatedly being banged on a hard surface After that silence on the phone Silence on the cockpit voice recorder And that is an excerpt From a book called the eleventh day which came out in 2011 by Anthony summers and Robin Swan And we all know what that silence meant Flight 93 crashed into a field near the diamond T.
Mine in Stoney Creek Township Somerset County, Pennsylvania killing 33 innocent passengers Seven innocent crew members and four demonic hijackers That day changed My world then it changed our world the world as we knew it And it commenced years and years and Years of war that has cost so Many lives and At some point on this podcast I'm sure we'll go into more details about the horrors of September 11th new probably multiple podcasts, but for today I wanted to focus on one Aspect of one part of the life of one man on that flight the man named Jeremy Glick Who By all accounts was an amazing human being Son and a husband and a father But for those of us Who fight or who Train martial arts in general general something caught our ears when he heard about the heroics on flight 93 We heard that Jeremy Glick was a martial artist that he was a wrestler, and then he was a judoka And as a wrestler he wasn't competitive All-state wrestler for Saddle River Dei school in northern, New Jersey, and if you know anything about New Jersey wrestling It's an extremely competitive wrestling State And beyond that as a judo player Glick was an American national collegiate judo champion While he was a student at the University of Rochester and In September of 2008 Seven years after the incident September 11th there was a memorial ceremony At the crash site in Pennsylvania and the United States Judo Association placed a granite stone There as a memorial with an inscription on it And the inscription reads the United States Judo Association promote promoted Jeremy Glick to the highest rank of black belt for living the principle of Judo Mutual welfare and benefit Sacrificing his life for our country September 11th 2001 Living the principle of Judo and that's a bold statement It indicates something very powerful and very meaningful and as a Patriot and as a martial artist and specifically as a jiu-jitsu practitioner Which is where judo was derived from I wanted to explore a little deeper into the principles of Judo to see What we can learn from it? And I don't want to go into the full details of Explaining the relationships between jiu-jitsu and judo, but it is a very close relationship It was one of J Goro Pinos top students and Kay knows the creator of judo But my eda that brought jiu-jitsu to Brazil from Japan and Inter Douce jujitsu to Carlos and a Leo Gracie And that's the beginning of Brazilian jiu-jitsu as we know it today, and my eating even called it jiu-jitsu he didn't call it judo and From what I understand at that time Even Kano had not been actually calling it judo in Japan. He hadn't renamed it yet he was still calling it jiu-jitsu and some people were calling it Kano jiu-jitsu or Kodokan jujitsu, but jiu-jitsu especially Brazilian jiu-jitsu is without question rooted in judo and If you trace it back just a little bit further judo is also rooted back into jiu-jitsu That's where judo came from judo came from jiu-jitsu In mixed in with all that there's all kinds of evolution and there's changes and there's politics, and there's history, but there's that thread that ties them all together and that thread can be recognized in Many of the principles that are shared both in judo and in jiu-jitsu The same principles that played a role in Jeremy glicks attitude on that Clear sunny September day And Perhaps we can all learn something from those principles and to look at those principles I thought it would be best to go to the source and I Have a book called mind over muscle. That is It's it's a compilation of writings from jigoro kano and Cato was a very interesting person He was a he was an educator He was a pioneer in sports. He worked with the Olympic Committee.
He was a jiu-jitsu practitioner eventually founded judo, and he founded the most famous judo school the original judo school the Kodokan and The book like I said as you can tell by the title it's a compilation of different sources of his writings And there's a little bit of overlap and repeat, and I'll do a little bit of that But what I like about it is it gives a good overall view of the ideas and the vision that Kano had for judo So I know there's a lot of Judo practitioners out there and obviously a lot of jiu-jitsu practitioners out there that listen to the podcast and everyone knows that these two are closely related and sometimes there's I guess you'd say tension between the two sometimes But The fact of the matter is they're so closely related that it's it'd be more It'd be more intelligent instead of look for the tension between the two to find where the two can complement each other So here we're going to the book and once again The book is mind over muscle writings from the founder of Judo jigoro kano And here we go to start it off the purpose of jujitsu See you interesting that he starts this off. It's talking about jujitsu They're not even talking about judo yet the original purpose of jujitsu was to practice a method of combat While combat may have been at the core of jujitsu practice it Also had the related goals of physical education and mental training There is little dispute that because training to fight involves moving the body in various ways jiu-jitsu indirectly became a form of physical education But for the same reason it also became a method for training the mind all forms of combat required ingenuity and The use of various tricks and devices so all forms of combat all forms of combat this is important because When if you're if you're a a soldier you're a marine or your own airman right now We're talking about everything that you do and I'll tell you what if you're a business person we're talking about what you're doing to all forms of combat require ingenuity and the use of various tricks and devices So in the course of jujitsu training the mind is unconsciously trained in many ways Courage composure composure and other traits that are beneficial in life can also be developed now. I'll tell you what this is important because People ask me a lot like You know how did you figure all this stuff out Jocko, but people ask me that mmm and You know I always try and explain You know like it was a long course and I was in the military for a long time And I had an open mind, and I listened to paid attention to the people that were leading me And I paid attention the good ones and I paid attention to the bad ones But I'll tell you if I didn't I jiu-jitsu opened my mind up and did these things and again unconsciously like I started to perceive things the way that I was learning jiu-jitsu and That's why I've got some I got you know I've got friends, and I've gotten in jiu-jitsu over the years And you can tell and I don't know what makes some people get the bug and some people don't get the bug but if you get the bug and you start to think in a jujitsu mindset, then you'll It'll really open up your mind now that being said There's some people that are heavily into jiu-jitsu, but they don't apply jiu-jitsu to the the other aspects of the life Which is a big mistake? It's a big mistake You got to apply it both ways And I think that's one of the things that that Kano was trying to do with judo was to Ensure that you did that to ensure that his students did that hmm? All right Back to the book it was my belief that With a few improvements jiu-jitsu could become a comprehensive method of physical education intellectual training and moral education I. Therefore spent several years developing my ideas and finally established the Kodokan judo I did this by thoroughly researching the jujitsu that it existed up until the time up until that time as much as possible Keeping what I felt should be kept discarding what I felt should be discarded Thoroughly studying the techniques and theories and establishing them in a way That would be most applicable to today's society.
It's not even talking about just combat he's talking about like he not talk about fighting He's like talking about applying these things to society so there's a little bit of Yeah, I think he was young when he did this too. He established the Kodokan at a very young age I want to say he was like 22 years old. He was really young so he studied you did too Thought some things were good about it. Thought some things were bad about it and said I'm gonna make my own deal mm-hmm Now here We talk a little bit here there were there were various reasons why I chose not to use the term jiu-jitsu which described What was ordinarily practiced and instead employ the name judo? The main reason was that dough the dough part of Judo it meanswe Is the major force there's a major focus of what the Kodokan teaches whereas Jitsu skill is? Incidental I.
Also wanted to make it clear that judo was a means of embarking on the way So he saw this as like a complete a complete life system right not just fighting This is the way judo is the way for him and that's why he instead of calling it Jiu Jitsu we called it You know not not take techniques, but like the way Back to the book when we talk about jujitsu today People often think of a technique in which one does only? Dangerous things such as choking an opponent and bending his joints or even in extreme cases killing him Essentially we think of something that is harmful to the whole book to the body while offering no benefits True Jiu Jitsu does not espouse this in particular the Kodokan judo. I devised never involves doing anything dangerous I cannot stress enough that what I advocate is far from a violent or dangerous sport Now Sure I understand the principle there, but Just so everyone knows Judo doesn't play around you know if you've if you've gone with a high-level judo player You are getting thrown hard and aggressively on to your Head yeah, it's it's a brutal sport. It's it's very aggressive. Yeah.
Do you think that that's how or that's what because? When it comes down to the essence it's like and this is just me totally guessing where judo As it is now. It's like okay. The goal is basically to put the guy in his back That's it put him down on the ground Not to hit him not to knock him down put him on the ground right this kind of seems Okay That's really violent that's kind of the little friendly competition put them on the ground now with any competitive situation Oh guys you're gonna get after it, and it slowly just evolves into all these crazy things. It doesn't evolve it Escalates even just the whole way so even can Consider like basketball for example the goal put that ball in that basket.
That's it you go from here Come close laughs whatever, then you get this competitive drive these people athletic abilities all this stuff now It's turning into weird slam dunks now bright You didn't have to slam dunk that thing, but it's still the same thing put in the ball You know and the thing that's in this weird aggressive. I guess yeah, I guess yeah, I guess a layup Compared to a tomahawk slam dog right yeah, and if you compare a Let's say some sort of a basic takedown compared to like a full Upon the slide yeah, I could see your I could see your comparison seem say there's an escalation yeah And then his mind he was like hey look at this is just a takedown Yeah, you tell that to a 21 year old judo competitor. That's got you in there takedown you Yeah, exactly right just like you know a basket a basket. You know oh, yeah He made that basket no, but he slammed on you, and you know embarrass you in front of it You know like it goes into this whole different realm, but the essence is still there though is the basket? Just to take that yeah all right here We go back to the book the organization of Kodokan judo is basically the same today as it was When I established it, but at that time when explaining judo, I divided it into three parts It's use as a fighting method martial art as a training method physical education and as a method of mental training Including the development of the intellect and morals and the application of the principles of Judo to everyday life See this is again.
This is what's interesting to me is and he said it was subconscious like I subconsciously especially in the beginning with jiu-jitsu And I'll tell you was beyond just me applying Jiu-jitsu to like my life and to what I had learned about combat I also took what I had learned about Combat and applied that into jiu-jitsu right like III said oh, yeah, you know this is like when you flank someone Right yeah, but even even when I first learned one of the one of the biggest wake-up calls that you get early in jujitsu is like oh What I need to do is attack your neck and when you defend your neck I take your arm right. That's a flank, right? That's just a straight up flank. That's that's a game-changer like that's a complete game changer when you realize that That's a complete game changer well There's a seal buddy mine that had been training when I first started out he'd been training for like a year No, but he'd been training off and on kind of bits and pieces and so then I started training hardcore like everyday yeah, so after like Two weeks like literally two weeks I went trained with him, and I and I got him like a bunch of times and I was all pumped up and And I said to him I said hey, you know what you the mistake that you're making is you're trying You're going for my arm, and I know you're going for an arm, and I'd know how to defend that I think you got to go for something else and then like a week later We rolled again, and he got me did what I told him to do to me. Yeah.
I was like oh dang Oh dang, so that was a big wake-up call that's a big no-no. It's it's a revelation when you realize Oh, you've got to do you got a set that you gotta fight the person yeah, that's what you have to do Yeah, big wake-up call so crazy to see two people rolling and all they're doing is flanking each other. Oh, you're flanking the flag Yeah But what's interesting is as I started working with like leaders and teaching my leadership? How important the idea of what flanking is from a leadership and a human interaction perspective? Another such. Did you gotta flank people you want to attack that ego, yeah? All right back to the book two methods of instruction are used Kata, which is a form and randori which is free practice? It's what we call in the jujitsu rolling and When establishing the Kodokan I employed a method that emphasized randori and by which cada naturally came to be understood During randori practice.
This is rather so he focused on rolling a lot When he established kota comp a test. This is very interesting randori Rolling trains rolling its rolling. It's good to remember that yeah use it This is rather like teaching composition Without using a grammar book or teaching the basis of grammar while teaching how to write an essay So this is like hey man write this down. Are you gonna make some Corrections and like that's that's basically rolling live right now When there are only a few people undergoing the training this was not a problem But the number of beginners gradually increased And it became impossible to teach cada at the same time as randori so a few years after I established Kodokan judo I created 15 kata four throws and ten kata for combat Called kimi no kata, which meant forms of self-defense so he realized he couldn't teach the same way.
He couldn't teach the masses So what you know? That's That's a big change right. There's a big big change for anyone. That's not into martial arts There's a big big difference between rolling and learning kata and matter fact. We make fun of kata right I'm not saying That's a good thing.
Yeah, but we shouldn't say we completely make fun of it, but like I'll see Dean and Let's say he's I can tell he's tired. You know he's looking all worn out mm-hm, and I'll see you. Oh, yeah Hey, what's going on? Man you want to train some kata today meaning? Hey
Are we just gonna go through the motions? Not axe drill you know no we're gonna train right so that when I say make fun Yeah, you don't make fun of it because because what we call kata basically in jujitsu we call it drilling Yeah, right, you're gonna drill this drill drill drill which drilling is part of winning You got to drill to win right Andre Galvao drill just make killers drillers make killer there. It was all those things that Being said we all know If you do nothing, but drill you're not gonna be able to pull these moves off going live and this with the old traditional martial arts That was all cotton and all kata will get you nowhere That's when the guys when you saw that the 90s when the jutsu invasion happened You know the guy would try his 12-point strike kata Method against a blue belt in jujitsu the blue belt will do a sloppy duggle double leg take him down the ground and choke him out cuz they rolled live they did randori so You have to have balance but you got a trained live randori and at the same time you've got a drill, too so Be careful don't do too much.
I want Seems like the drilling helps you get a hold of what you do with your body and then the brandori the light the rolling yeah, gives you a You know controller or better skill in dealing with other people off rider so and that's what Jesus is both You know where you can kind of and you're gonna get You're gonna get Reactions that are different right right and this is the same thing This is the same thing like when I was training guys in the teams like You could teach them the basics of how to enter a room and then how to move down a hallway But as soon as you put Another person they're going against them yeah is like different things happen yeah Different things are gonna happen. You got to be ready for it, so you have to go a lot I-i've told I told you this story before but when when I first started playing basketball And my coach, I had the old school he had the old school Hoosiers coach right yeah You know the old school you seen the movie Hoosiers. No. Oh dad So in Hoosiers the guy's old school coach like hey know you're not even allowed to shoot were defense defense defense real internals drill drill Drill, we never scrimmaged and the first time I played in a real game.
It was the first time I played a real game I went down the court and like called the play and expected to be able to execute the play that had run the little pattern and The the other point guard just picked me off. I was in 7th or 8th grade He just picked off every pass I threw I was just because I'd never done randori on the basketball court never scrimmage never played You know you got to balance those two All right Next back to the book next I would like to briefly discuss free practice involving throwing and grappling techniques Which I will refer to by their Japanese names So the two Japanese names, and he's going to use her Khatami Wazza and Naga Ozzy now now walls it means technique, right? And
You probably knew that a lot of us we a lot of us in jiu-jitsu we talked about or we we want we know about Judah we talked about nawaz ax and any Waa-waa, za Nawaz it means ground work. That's what it means mat work basically is what I mean. I think I think The end he actually means like laying down or sleeping or something like that so it means you're down on the ground Khatami Wazza is the Khatami walls it is like the grappling part, but you're not necessarily You're not necessarily Laying down in all grappling positions, so that's why they call it, Khatami Wazza But but Nagi Wazza is the throws alright so here we go back to the book when I was training I practiced Khatami Wazza quite a bit but after coming to appreciate Naga Wazza I came to believe that Naga waz he should be Emphasized in the technical training aspects of Judo this does not mean I considered Khatami Wazza to be useless of course But I stress practicing Naga Wazza first Followed, then by khatami Wallis's so he focused on the throwing techniques This is because doing Khatami Wazza first hinders progress in Naga Wazza While it makes sense that learning Naga.
Wasa first makes it easier to remember Khatami Wazza as at a later stage when I established Kodokan I. Encouraged the practice of Naga Wazza precisely for that reason as a result at that time a great great number of experts in Naga Wazza were fostered in the early years the Kodokan as a result of emphasizing Naga Wazza, however Khatami Wazza gradually became neglected That's very interesting so anyone that knows anything about judo, and Jiu Jitsu one of the biggest differences is in jiu-jitsu We focused small town on ground work too much Well you could say too much right because there's there's there's jiu-jitsu people that don't know how to take someone down and that's very problematic so He's saying that hey. He focused on that and you can kind of hear what he's saying so if you It's real easy to ignore the stand-up when you realize how effective the ground game is and you also realize that if you if you understand how to take the person down then you're gonna get in good positions and all that so he just kind of leaned in that direction and Says that it ends up getting a little bit neglected and also if you don't know the rules of Judo Emphasize the takedowns because the rules of Judo if I take you down if I throw you with a Nippon, which means Something some other body part other than your feet touches the ground before your feet do it during the throw I win automatically Instant win it's like a submission and so because of that they practice a lot to stand up Yeah, whereas in jiu-jitsu you can get thrown ten times? And you can still catch person in a triangle you win you on the ground doesn't matter? Yeah? And you can get pinned in judo too if you get held down for thirty seconds about thirty It's thirty Seconds on on your back you get pinned you lose. Yeah, that doesn't happen in jiu-jitsu You can have someone across side on you for four or seven eight minutes.
Yeah, just you haven't even moved You know you didn't lose, and you sneak out of there and grab a little camera and get the victory sir All right back to look at the Kodokan We study and practice techniques with the purpose of using mental and physical energy most of fit most Effectively in order to achieve one's gold no matter what the endeavor which is the basic principle of Judo? And he's gonna talk about this a ton the basic principle of Judo is like efficiency so those in training Do not merely know, but this is so important those in training Do not merely imitate the actions of the master or practice without understanding the reasons behind What they are doing? But rather consider the methods and train in accordance with detailed principles For that reason what once took five or six years to achieve can now be accomplished in three years This is huge in jiu-jitsu, and I saw this transition take place when I started learning jiu-jitsu we learned moves Now everyone teaches concepts. I mean you still teach moves, but if you don't know the principles of them and it's the same thing when I was teaching guys in the teams like you teach them a Maneuver on the battlefield if you can learn the mechanics of the move on the battlefield But if you don't understand why those mechanics are important, then it doesn't make you don't even have you don't have it Don't get it same thing in the business world you can tell someone like hey Here's what you should tell your subordinates right now. Yeah, but that technique Can use it and it'll work, okay, but that's nothing compared to saying Here's why it's important that you tell your subordinates this thing and here's how you want to lead them That's what gives them the game is when they understand the principles, yeah Yeah, that's why those introductory courses are so critical yeah, and I'm talk about jujitsu, FC. Where You get a new guy first day guy And he jumps in a class and the class they're teaching the you know the mechanics of a certain move Meanwhile everyone in the class.
They're not first day people They know the concepts behind it, but they come in and it's just it's just a different language. It doesn't stick yeah Yes, yeah, it's like trying to teach someone if you if you if you had a non-native English speaker And you walk in and you're gonna teach him of You know a vocabulary word. Yeah, which is like you know audacious right? He there's no context to put that in that's not the word to teach him He doesn't even know how to say I yeah, so when you start teaching someone at home or Plata Yeah, and they don't understand when I'm walk are is they're gonna have issues. Yeah, that's like you know fundamentals Do you want ketchup with that teach someone who doesn't know any English do you want kids with teach them that and then send them? Out he doesn't know when to use that you know.
I know how to say it well You're not just gonna roll into the post-office and be like hey. Do you want ketchup with that it doesn't make sense? No, it's unusable Back to the book various records and accounts have been passed down over the ages with regard to the true meaning of jiu-jitsu Then he's talking about the actual word jiu-jitsu But few of them are accurate It can be said though that the name apparently derived from the expression jus yoko go oshizu Which can be trained Lee translated as? Softness controls hardness This expression needs closer attention Let's assume I have an opponent who possesses power vowed to the value of ten whereas I must face this opponent with power only to the value of seven When my opponent thrusts at me with all of his energy it follows that if I resist I will be overcome Even if I expend all my power If however rather than resist my more powerful opponent, I adjust and adapt to his energy and pull back He will fall forward under the strength of his own attack his power of 10 will become merely a power of three And he will stumble and lose his balance I will not be pulled off balance and can pull away maintain my stance and retain my original power of seven In short resisting a more powerful opponent will result in your defeat whilst Adjusting you to and evading your opponent's attack will cause him to lose his balance his power will be reduced and you will defeat him This can apply whenever the relative values of power thus making it possible for weak opponents to beat significantly stronger ones There you go. Yes, sir, that's the way it works Can it level 10 beat a level looking a level one beat a level 10? That's tricky There's that. There's a there's a point right yeah, there's a point where Like yeah, yeah, because there's like even that what he's talking about I like how he did it in numbers like how he did that? But The reality is like that It's again cool to have the numbers, but it's not they're not absolute numbers There's a lot of gray area in there so the idea is to take his tan and use almost like using part of his tan for on top of your seven because you're going the same way but It's like how much of that 10.
Are you gonna use if you're one you better. You'd be using nine. You know master Yeah, you gotta be using a lot of his number you know, but now this is one of those things this is one of those things that I. Subconsciously learned from jujitsu, and I applied it all the time especially in dealing with Relationships, and I've talked about it here a million times if like hey don't attack the ego Don't attack the strong point right yeah, that's just complete Just just to complete jujitsu mentality That's what it is and and it works if you attack that strong point son zou hardiwar 2500 years old if you Attack the different heavily defended position you're not gonna win if you go against a power of 10 And you've only got a power seven you're not gonna win not gonna.
Even if you use full power Even if all power in fact it's gonna be worse for you. Especially the other guy knows He's gonna use that seven he's gonna use that in addition to his 10 He's gonna beat you with a 17 to zero yeah And that actually backs up or kind of refers back to your point where Kenna when you say Kenna level one beat a level ten so a level if they both know jujitsu or judo then you know it's way because he knows the same thing as you but you know if you're Nine if you're better than the guy for an eye, and then you know your friend start to go up This doesn't washer no doubt no doubt about that, but I think that's where people they get jammed up where they're like hey What do I thought size didn't matter in jujitsu oh? Yeah, if everyone's doing jujitsu of course size matters. Just like a decent gonna matter Just like how tall you it matters how strong Lin matters when you all know the Jiu Jitsu Yeah, when you that's like a dude said the other day Jiu Jitsu is not important as important in the UFC as it was the guy that just beat for doom big tall badass guy from Russia Cal cough or something Sorry, bro he But he said hey, it's not as important anymore and the fact that but you're right You know why it's not as important because everybody knows is it so yeah It's not as important to go you roll in there without knowing any jujitsu you're gonna get ya submit it you feel employee yes Yeah, yeah exactly All right back to the book. There's a popular parable that goes thus a Jujitsu Which means a jiu-jitsu practitioner was grabbed by a sumo wrestler at that point that jujitsu? Said you're a sumo wrestler yet, you can't grab any tighter than that Angered the sumo wrestler attempted to adjust his grip as he did so he loosened it slightly at that moment that jujitsu Quickly lowered his body and escaped from the sumo refs loose grip All right now there's another we're gonna talk about this theory called Sirocco Sajin, that's you and I apologize to everyone that speaks Japanese.
I'm sorry Tim Ferriss I'm sorry I should have waited for you to come and do this with me so you could correct me, but here here We go one's mental and physical energy must be used most effectively In order to achieve a certain goal That is to say one must apply the most effective method or technique for using the mind and body if we use the term Ciriaco For one's mental and physical energy this should be expressed to Yoko Susan Casio which means best use of one's energy we can shorten this simply to Ciriaco Zegna, which means maximum efficiency Maximum efficiency this means that no matter what the goal no matter what the goal in order to achieve it you Must put your mental and physical energy to work in the most effective manner This is like common sense right, but how often are we wasting energy? How often are we wasting energy? We're wasting energy all the time Back to the book when I was a child I learned the jiu-jitsu of the past However the dad jiu-jitsu had no basic principle. I learned various methods from one teacher He taught me how to place my hips and pull to throw an opponent and how to choke someone But he did not teach me anything about what principles were involved or how to apply those principles But that's I think that's the same that as Jiu-jitsu hit America, I think everyone was learning like that like here's how you choke someone, but you weren't learning the system as I studied further I found that one one teacher taught differed from a what another taught There was no basis upon which to decide which one was correct That was the reason I began to make a thorough study of jiu-jitsu now what I would say about that is You don't need to decide which one is correct Like when you learn an armbar from one person you learn a lot armbar from someone else You're gonna learn Good things from both of them Neither one of them is correct and one of them might be correct in this Situation or with this body style and the other ones corrected in different situations the different body style I think if we look to knose Personality traits like he's a guy. That's real or girly And I think that's yeah he's every a guy like Jordan Peterson people would put him in the high conscientious and high a high and orderly That's a very orderly person and so for him like there's a right answer, and there's a wrong answer And I think you see that in judo and that's why judo is much more disciplined Highly disciplined like go to a judo competition. There are no yelling.
It's Gregorio jujitsu competition. It's mayhem Yeah, yeah right and they've tried to tighten that up like they try and make it less crazy, but they haven't succeeded Juju's crazy do competitions are crazy judo competitions are not like that. Yeah, bro. Did you see there's a clip a-doodle clip on online? Wherever I saw it But it's a clip and so this guy wins right the real Dramatic win like maybe he wasn't supposed to win her honor maybe he's an upset maybe not or maybe it was a finals I don't know, but it was a real dramatic win he wins and he's like you know how they yell And they be all happy whether he did that any kind of stood over the guy Oh, just a second like I split like pretty short DQ DQ yeah, just like that so legit like men in jiu-jitsu MMA.
You see that all day, yeah see, that's that's the that's One of the reasons I wanted to talk about this is like that is a quality thing You know it's - and I guess this is different on the east coast or west coast The East Coast like one of my buddies Jill He came and watched some wrestling with me with some high school wrestling and they Pat Africa with it They penalize people like oh, no you're not allowed to do that like they're strict when you get done when you get done Wrestling you just got pinned you get up you get to the senator mat you put your hand out to shake hands That's it yeah. They'll complain to the ref. There's no this other crap No you do what you're supposed to do And that's awesome because that you know what that teaches people teach people how to control their emotions, yeah Yeah, I remember in Pop Warner. You know my only frame of reference was watching football on TV NFL.
Spike in the ball doing the ickey shuffle back in my day, Akina Mikey woods anyway back did it um and So you know we play Pop Warner football my first year? I knew that our coach was super disciplined Like the kind where you had to everyone had to wear high white socks white shirt like a real discipline And I see how the teams and they difficult issues all this stuff. That's all I knew though so it was clear You couldn't spike the ball. You couldn't do any dance or whatever you give the ball to the ref That's that's it when you make a touchdown So we played this team That will remain nameless, and they go they did you don't want to bring up the old rivalries? Babymaker actually was a team from out of town acts huh and They he spiked the ball little kids spiked the ball and does the thing or whatever share flag. It's it's a penalty Oh, you actually even in colleges like that.
Oh, right. I don't know yeah in college Football's like that you can do you can do more for sure But yeah Pop Warner anything you do anything you you throw the ball you Put your hands up for too long if you put your hands up for too long after you make it touchdown That's a penalty all that sports been like condo. That's legit right. I think so especially as little kids I think so especially even as big kids yeah When you're a professional Um this is what he said when you're a professional football player you can and you make a touchdown Something about like that's your job or whatever so yeah, you have the right to be happy about it That's kind of but when I think about it.
Now. It's like shoot if you're professional you focus on your profession Do you think so I? Guess it's whatever your philosophy is And you could say like UFC. I mean it's really cool. It's so much cooler when Someone wins and they just are like check.
Yeah, it's like know what you're yeah We're just go out there and just destroy someone that just comes like yeah. Thanks. Good match. Yeah, that is true I know we all want to see the high band jump on top of the cage sells tickets in blah blah blah But there's nothing better than just a cold-blooded killer that just comes out and and you're it's interesting sometimes fighters do it I think I was watching cowboy Cerrone or the bait like knock some grounds walked away like it was nothing Yeah, yeah, I do this every single night.
Yeah. Yeah, like yeah, yeah, but but they don't show that clip or like Mark Hunt Yeah, yeah mark hunt just doesn't walk away. Not now just knocks dude. I just walks away I guess yeah, can I get my piece of chicken now? I'm hungry yeah But the reason that those are so cool like phaidor.
That's great example by the way where he's just no He's not getting hyped up. No the fight. He's not act up afterwards You know no emotion is this cold yeah that that Gets that seems more appealing because it's in contrast to all the hype all the high more this guy get hyped up and whatever So if everyone was like that He would be like it would still would be cool But even then I'm probably just comparing it to like how I know it can't knock a hybrid Conor McGregor gets pumped I mean yeah, exactly right so You know it. There's a there's a dichotomy yeah, there's a dichotomy.
I think the preferred method though is cold-blooded Yeah, but when you and this is really what it is and this goes for the NFL to benefit for sure Yeah, um it's it's a show you gotta remember Yeah, that's a show exactly right so in that means to for the NFL where we fit Just go sit around and watch old phaidor fight, so you know Sakuraba was kind of like Sakuraba didn't celebrate Yeah, horse. Yes. Uh Carrabba was pretty cool, too. Yeah I totally cold-blooded But just so you say man like Connor and like these guys who do put on a show that's kind of cool, too All right back to the book in the end I learned from various teachers in various schools but when one method of instruction differed from another I had difficulty determining how to resolve those differences as I studied further I.
Came up with the principles. I've described in order to achieve your goals. You must put your energy to use most effectively again I'll just say that you don't have to choose like this one's right and this one's wrong You need to absorb both those methodologies and have them both in your toolkit cause you might need them mmm You know say yeah, I don't like having the metric wrench Sockets and the you know oh, yeah, yeah, and the other one you got the other ones got a need that one the other one you come across a bolt That's metric. Yeah, you better be ready for that Here's that here's some stuff.
That's interesting Calisthenics are generally based on physiology and Anatomy So they do not result in the development of unbalanced body nor are they harmful to the internal organs But they are not without without drawbacks because each individual movement has no meaning and because calisthenics have no secondary benefits they are Uninteresting calisthenics are widely used in Japan and abroad but few students continue to do them after grades graduating from school This is because they are a meaningless form of exercise and not of any practical use no matter how much they are taught If people do not continue to practice them. There is very very little value in teaching them Cold-blooded cold-blooded dig it So what should be done? We need to adopt the strong points of calisthenics and compensate for their shortcomings of course there are various possibilities But for now I have come up with these two ideas first the first is calisthenics that incorporate training for the defensive for the defense against attack so the first one's like you come up with Calisthenics that represent movements that are from fighting right so like a classic is a sprawl sprawl. Yeah Go do some sprawls. You want to get in good shape me I go do some sprawls incorporate that in one of the workouts.
I used to do with my kids when they were little Is they'd have to do five sprawls and max pull-ups every minute on the minute for five minutes Just five minutes see how many pull-ups They could get to do five sprawls and use many pull-ups as you can to see How many this is a brutal workout go try that yeah? No, you don't need to be an eight-year-old kid you can be a 46 year old man. Go hit that for five minutes Yeah, five sprawls max pull-ups go but he's a good workout for kids Yeah, but legit, but anyway sprawls That's an exercise where it debt reflects exactly the movement that you would do on the mat now here We go back to the book my other idea could be called dance style mm-hmm And I'm not gonna get into he talks about he's basically saying like hey you come up with dance moves that are fun that work your body and what I thought of immediately when I when I thought when I read that I was like thinking about all the all the I. Guess is b-boys and breakdancing the same thing be bullies do breakdancing so it's like judo and judoka So b-boy is okay breakdance, so like a tenth planet guys a bunch of the tenth planet guys came from the breakdancing background Yeah, and they have the physical attributes the flexibility the strength from that and it turns out to be awesome for jiu-jitsu Yeah, so there's a good and you can find out with gymnastics people too like yeah like gymnastics. Here's a skill But I guess his point is in his mind That's now fun somehow see in my mind like it not fun What the breakdancing like to me doing a breakdance move compared to doing a push-up? Yeah, you'd rather do the push-up well, I mean there's not a huge difference right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, breakdown is pretty fun You said you don't want us young did you have parachute pants? Yeah? Ritchie Martinez and Gio Martinez yeah, yeah Yeah, well they're there they're badass ters Did you guys and their b-boys yeah and that that is what they attribute their feels their skills? Developing so quickly so quickly and when you when you think about it and it's absolutely true because you think of Breakdancing moves like how you can spin on your back and do it like all this stuff like to spin on your back You know these guys who go inverted do all this stuff where they're really good control over their like spatial body Yeah, you know so these breakdancing guys. They come in with level 10 love that you know and Well wrestlers obviously come in at a high level gym to anyone That's really good at gymnastics has that same kind of awareness, and they have some crazy strength yeah, so yeah, maybe that is a good thing for the for the judo players to come up with some kind of a Good dance a dance Well what about capoeira? Cuz Kappa what it was it was a fighting disguised as dancing. Yes, sir Yeah, you know it was it was the African slaves in Brazil yeah, and if you notice I know it's cuz they did it told. It's not a thesis What do you call it like anyway thing in college, but they did a thing on college in Kappa water uncommon Yeah, okay, and so I'm gonna go into a whole long thing but good if you go early capoeira was only legs No, you know why because they a lot of the time They'd be tied up hands behind their back so that yes, so they came up with this fighting system distend disguise It is dancing to use against their captors mm-hmm.
It's very interesting that is interesting Be boys people have wait a couple other guys Jeff Higgs went from jiu-jitsu to capoeira mm-hmm Fabio Fabio Santos our old teacher was like Higgs You're the only person. That's ever gone from jiu-jitsu. He kept training jiu-jitsu. Yeah incorporated capoeira yeah even Right community does the same thing I think he no no I think he Now most people would find, Kappa wedding all that seems cool, but then you get choked out.
You're like I'm gonna learn Yeah, yeah that goes man. You ever see note like a cop with like a Performance or whatever man. There's this it's gymnastics. It's whatever you wanna.
Call it like this yeah, man. It's really impressive It's always like he'll deal dude And I'm referring to this guy that you said he'd put on a couple of show every Wednesday at this club I worked at in Hawaii and So he do these like flips and somersaults and stuff like that, and it looks like oh he messed up that somersault But that was part of the move see I'm saying so he instead of sticking the landing He doesn't stick the landing he rolls into the next movie and also it's this big string of just real fluid mist it's kind of captivating I. Can see how that would benefit? Okay noted yeah All right back to the book. There's no need to reject traditional form of exercise those who enjoy them subdue them My doctrine is very simple highly recommend.
What is best without rejecting things of the past so I do not particularly oppose Japan's conventional methods of physical education But I would like to devise the best form of physical education and recommend as many people as possible take it up thus Resulting in a form of physical education that at the same time achieves worthwhile goals that is cool right Like that's one of the coolest things about jujitsu is you are getting in shape and you? Are learning how to choke people out which is a really beneficial fig and then for all the people that say well I want to start jiu-jitsu, but I need to get in shape first No, you don't you just need to start jiu-jitsu and you'll get in shape along the way Back to the book the prosperity of a nation can be hoped for only with an energized populace that Vitality and that vitality depends on the mental and physical training of the people The powerful nations of the world have explored every avenue in order to build their national strength And they are paying particular attention to physical education and endeavoring to promote vitality of their citizens through their own unique methods Well, that sounds good, and it was true at one time but in America right now. We're getting pretty weak on physical education Need to step it up Step it up you ever seen that video of the old school. They would did some experimental gym class somewhere in California And like the crazy ops courses like in the maybe the 40s or the 50s And they had crazy obstacle courses. They had this and like every kid looked like a complete beast And you're like yeah, why wouldn't you do that? Why wouldn't gym class at school? Be an hour long of hardcore physical putting out.
Mm. Why would it not be that way right? Yeah, you know why cuz people I am, but that's insulting to my child because he's not a great athlete Well your kids not gonna be a better athlete if they don't start training art right so like was it get in the game Yeah, I agree, so what what is it though? The kid the kid like okay? We're gonna Do push-ups today right and you know Johnny did a hundred push-ups meanwhile? I can only do two so I feel bad that messes up my self-esteem I don't want to put you on the spot, and you know what we're just gonna not do push-ups. Yeah in fact You know we're gonna do for PE. Weave baskets basket weaving yeah, but even isn't the isn't the whole grading system I know good a little different thing, but isn't the whole grading system in school like that anyway.
Hey Johnny over there gotta a yeah Yeah, it is right now. Yeah, but you know there's the universities for sure that have like well. There's no grades here Yeah, because we don't this is no matter grade Yeah actually the like no actually your school becoming you know what you don't know it makes my kids about my kids will be like I. Got a I had a 96 on the math test and I'm like what was the class average Who did you lose to anyone and they're like No If everyone got a 96 I don't care.
You know your average. I don't know maybe you should care Maybe you should know maybe you should be impressed with the teacher the teacher is so good That they when they test these kids these kids Score almost perfect on the tests on the material that they touch thing that's one good teacher right there. Yeah well I'd be impressed to the teacher But I wouldn't be impressed with my kid if they just got the same as everyone else. They need to step it up What if they don't mess it up? What if they all got hundreds ok they got a hundred okay like still not impressed Well, it's a good job, but I'm not impressed.
I'm impressed hundred perfect score on a test My head it my wife. My little daughter will come home She'll be like dad. I got a 94 on the math test. It'll be like which one.
Did you miss? The color she did a great job I'm not gonna lie to her. Whatever that is a good job All right, okay? We'll leave it. You know. It's funny as I know you're really not like that cuz I see You know what's funny is I I do say that to my kids.
Yeah with this joking, but it is hell it is fun Yeah, like you're like a tower put the one where at my house the pool. Everyone's jumping in the pool doing their dives Yeah, and you're like It's like joking Jocko. You can totally tell you're like good dive, but I want to see improvement in this area And this it's like over it is good. I see what you're doing this.
Yeah, we got have fun with it sure back to the book intellectual trip now he's talking about intellectual trip intellectual training involves both the acquisition of knowledge and the cultivation of mental power and Whereas one cannot discuss these entirely as entirely separate things is nevertheless true that people with a great deal of knowledge Do not necessarily Have exceptional powers of reasoning or judgment? That's important Just because you went to some Course doesn't mean that you know Doesn't mean you have good judgment so you can have people that are well read well educated, but they don't have any common sense That's that's what that sounds like this thing here the cultivation of these powers is not in itself entail becoming knowledgeable So in fact these two things can be looked at separately So there's big difference between you know having information and having I guess we'd say wisdom was he call it Reasoning and judgment mmm. I'd call reasoning and judgment combined together. I call that wisdom and Now he talks about moral education Back to the book in one respect moral education must be carried out from the aspect of knowledge that is to say it is necessary To know intellectually what is good and what evil? There's also necessary to develop the intelligence to distinguish right from wrong in various complex situations Thus it is necessary to teach the ability to determine good from bad to discriminate? What is right from what is wrong? This is something that I think we're getting away from Like hey, you know what that's actually wrong like the whole idea you've you've here people, and I think it's I think they wrap this around a political conversation or a political viewpoint of There's some people that say like no evil actually exists Mm-hm and some people just say well No
people are different and people are raised differently and all that I'm one of the people that like I believe evil exists and and I. Think you can teach, and you have to teach people how to tell the difference between right and wrong There's some things that are wrong.
Yeah. There's some things in the world that are wrong. Yeah, and you shouldn't do them Strangely, I was talking to Jay pretty in-depth about that idea mmm-hmm place to a bunch of things where Even saying okay things are right and things are wrong. That's that's like one way of you know What the okay, so these people that that say well people are different.
There's no real absolute right or wrong the thing is they're They have a point with that but here's the thing they're not talking about the same thing you're talking about like do we have a societal standard so and See it got super complex so obvious it's not the time, but think about this. Let's say a fat person mhm They're fat everyone can see that they're fat, they know they're fat kind of thing right and Some people would say it's wrong to indicator to point out that that person is fat in front of people Even though the fact is that they are okay? Is it right or wrong to point that out? It's rude. It's rude exactly alright so ant so is it right to be rude You was it right or wrong so little scenario dependent things right person situation alright So the point is yeah the point is there's a societal standard, yeah And usually it's established just like beat like beating your kids in certain societies is right in certain societies is wrong so Sure the more extreme the the behavior the easier it is to concern okay. That's all that I think there's a there's a line Yeah that I think is and it can call yeah, and it goes all the way down to like almost like a human a like understanding of Heat like basic human needs in sam harris hill so he talks about um Suffering like suffering and well-being.
That's the two things if something promotes or Advocates suffering for like no reason way, and he goes into it then that's how you can discern good and evil Okay, so but at the end of the day it goes down to a standard like a specific standard, yeah Yeah, but what I'm I guess you're saying the same thing. I'm saying. Yeah, which is like you need to teach people and And explain what the value system is to two people? Back to the book in another sense moral education must be carried out from the aspect of the emotions Even if you can distinguish right from wrong Intellectually if you are not trained emotionally to like what is good and dislike What is evil your ability to do good and reject evil will be lacking? So if morals are not cultivated both intellectually and emotionally Good results cannot be achieved This is big stuff yeah, this is heavy stuff Back to look furthermore even if you do try To do good and reject evil if your willpower is weak the opposite result will often occur there for training of the will must also Be an element of moral education a weak Willpower can result in the inability to do what you know is right or the inability to prevent? Doing what you know is wrong loom This is the very important stuff a Weak willpower will you allow bad things to happen you choosing the short-term payoff over thee Another good example Back to the book it is also Important not to look the over not to overlook the element of habit Even if you intend to do good if you have not developed the habit of doing so your best intentions will easily be corrupted and Even the best intentions of rejecting evil can fail if you have not developed the habit of doing so For that reason you must endeavor to cultivate good habits love. What is good and reject What is evil on a daily basis? You know what this supports this supports That whole you know when when I talk about the fact that like if you make good decisions like if you wake up early that Goes, that's a habit and that helps you that strengthens your ability to reject weakness whereas if you sleep in your lazy you hit the snooze button your Double-fist and donuts into your mouth guess what you're gonna be weak, then I'll tell you something else And I've been talking about this or I've been thinking about this.
I've been talking a little, but I've been thinking about this The way the way that you live every little thing that you do like those actions that you take on a daily basis That's who you are And if you don't train correctly if you don't live correctly when the moment of truth comes you won't be able to execute correctly Yeah The way you it's like no it's a classic the way you train you The wave train is that how you fight, right if you don't train hard you're not gonna fight hard Yeah, if you push yourself mentally when the time comes you'll be able to push yourself You'll be able to push yourself mentally if you're weak in training. You'll be weakened war That's the way it is yeah those very well-put sir we're Talking last night like I said And that's what we were talking about - that's what I brought up cuz he was really excited about learning all these new things about Calculus and all this stuff right cuz he's into AI are efficient machine learning and whatnot so I was like okay You know you're really excited about learning this stuff, which is good By the way, and we're just I was I wasn't necessarily talking about him, but I'm it But just used him as the example so he I was like okay So what is what is it like you're? So are you applying this to like your work now or your life or whatever, or you just fired up about learning, so it's like You can learn about Everything in the whole wide universe Right, but if you don't put it into action whenever it's like your habits like what you do that meek That's who you are you have like let's say. You're you're you I don't know well Actually, I think you're saying something different. I know what you're saying what you're saying is absolutely true, too I'm saying little I'm saying little the little things matters what I'm saying the way you live is the way you live is what I'm saying Yeah, yeah, okay.
Yeah what you're saying. It is also important like hey. You got this. What are you gonna do with it? Yeah? Yeah, that's what you're saying and that also is important like okay.
Will you work for this, but now? What are you gonna do with it? You got this gift? What are you gonna do with this gift? You've got this talent when you can do this town. You got this education What do you do with this education those are all so important, yeah? And what I'm saying is if you don't develop the habit of Putting things into place and being efficient and working hard you can take those gifts those talents in that education you can piss it away You know that's what I'm saying. Yeah, if you're used to taking the easy road you get that knowledge You don't do anything with it. Yeah, so live your life with intent That's what I'm saying every day every little decision you make matters it matters Matters what you do Expanding this out a little bit back to the book if each member of a group helps others and acts Selflessly the group can be harmonious and act as one accordingly the group can make the best use of its energy Just like an individual this principle remains true even in the case of a complex society with a population of millions You help each other out This is very this is what this is you know this is like a SEAL team, right? This is like a seal platoon you help each other you support each other.
That's what makes you good That's what makes you good Here's another one. Let's say someone draws a sword on you. This is getting back into training Let's say someone draws a sword on you any Hesitations in your actions will result in you being injured or killed You must react automatically? Instinctively just as when you blink impulsively when a fly approaches your eye You must dodge your attacker an instant in order to do this. You must pratik practice This as physical education and train on a regular basis to build up your body while also undergoing martial arts training So I like this idea of a fly getting your eye right the fly doesn't hit your eye you blink That's what happens you have the instinct and what's cool I see this with extreme ownership when people first hear about the concept like it's foreign to them a Utah you've talked about this how once you started thinking about it? You'd see like any excuse that someone makes you're like.
Oh, man this guy's not taking ownership That's just an excuse and then you see it in yourself and when that becomes your instinct because you're living that way well Then it's very easy to spot. It's also easier to maintain yeah That's why the little things matter That go yes, sir Back to the book judo began with the study of martial arts and then it gradually became clear that it could be applied to physical education intellectual training moral education social engagement management and people's everyday lives Some people believe that judo means simply practicing at the dojo This is applying the principle of Judo at the dojo when practicing defense against attack and Though it certainly is one aspect of judo is only a small part of it with judo in every endeavor you must imagine the best goal And use your mental and physical energy the most effective manner in order to accomplish that goal For that reason judo is not merely a martial art, but rather the basic principle of human behavior It is wrong to assume judo ends in the dojo so He's saying apply this everywhere. I'm saying you should do that you can do it with jiu-jitsu Now we're going back into this sere do Co Zhen you certain teachings Have a long tradition so most people accept them, but when people do not understand why they are taught a certain way Conflicts conflicts can sometimes arrive arise to give example virtually. No one doubts that diligence is a good thing right no one doubts that diligence is a good thing if Diligence is always a good thing it falls that there can be no situation in which being diligent is bad But if you are diligent in an irresponsible Manner you will spend a great deal of effort on something that is not very useful and expend the energy required to do something good wastefully You must carefully choose something for which diligence is suited Even when we do what we believe to be best over doing something can be harmful When students stay up late reading a book because their teachers parents or society has deemed it best that they should read it This is certainly diligence, but is also detrimental to their health to read for so long Conversely you cannot do things half-heartedly or randomly so You got to stay balanced Let us turn to the into an annoying yet pervasive habit o people all too often display complaining What is the point of complaining it is certainly no fun for those who have to listen to the complaints the? Energy used to make an unpleasant complaints can certainly not be considered Serio kou Zhen yo Rather all the energy used to complain or Grumble should be expended more usefully this means ridding oneself of unpleasant feelings and refraining from harboring ill-will towards others the this end In the end this will result in putting one's energy to the best use not only for oneself But also for the betterment of society this principle should be applied everyday at all times Don't waste your energy on stuff that doesn't matter Back to the book if people are always aware of their current situation And set a standard for their future based on doing what will benefit themselves in society and continually regulate their behavior They can be satisfied with their lives at all times When you try to do this you'll find that your future prospects are always bright that is because you're doing what is best How how common sense is this right and it's so common sense, but how many people do you know that follow this path? That's the question yeah, that goes back to How you say that idea of being detached when you detached, it's common sense yeah, but when you're in the game It's not common sense because of how you just like how that said how you feel? Like you know like even complaining for example like you could ask I don't say literally everyone, but you could ask everyone and be like hey Complaining is that useful is that good to do is that fine - you know just complain, right? Yes Or no Everyone's oh no no no no what does everyone complain that cuz when you're in the game complaining if you could I feel better whenever You picked up on it very well because it's as if people are always aware of their current situation meaning, they need to be detached and Then set a standard for the future based on doing things that just think it's the same thing Sleep is it smart to do things that will benefit themselves and society Continually continue regulate your behavior so that you're satisfied with your life, and although of course that makes sense sure why don't we do it? We get off the path we get on the slippery slope we start losing our awareness of our what is it current state? Well, how do I put it in the current situation for institution yet understand it? Yeah? This is interesting through judo we are teaching a principle that can work together with the highest principles of Buddhism and Christianity and the exhaustive studies of philosophers One where like other great philosophies and religious can be put into action This principle of Judo offers a basic principle that can provide a sound answer for every situation in every question the easiest way to master This basic principle is to practice the Wazza of judo and to embark on the dough the way That is because through practice that Incorporates both a martial art and physical education one can learn a method for making the most effective use of one's mental and physical energy then one naturally learns how to apply this method to every aspect of human affairs I.
Believe that this basic principle is the most appropriate method for resolving various moral issues Then he puts a lot of weight on the judo a lot of weight on the judo noodle is life Yeah with regard to our daily activities and social interaction the teaching of Ciriaco, zen, yo means Bringing about maximum results through the use of every sort of energy for this reason human faults like anger for example violate this principle Becoming angry consumes mental energy, how does anger benefit you or anyone else the? Result of anger are invariably a depletion of mental energy and being looked down on or disliked by others by following the principle of Serio guzheng yo People will not be able to get angry being Disappointed or troubled by failures or setbacks or harboring grievances are also ways in which mental energy is consumed Arguments fights all of these are violations of Serio cuisine yo Those who practice judo must take great care to follow this teaching no matter what the situation There is only one path that people must follow in every case the only course is to consider What is the right thing to do and proceed in that direction? What is the right thing to do and do that you know What is the right thing to do and do that that's what you should do regardless of how you feel yes? I. Have coined a phrase that I regularly say to people there is only one path in life conducting yourself in accordance with this principle on a daily basis is vitally important though human beings may reach the pinnacle of success there is only one path down which to proceed that is to say because complacency gives rise to the cause of failure You must always consider things carefully until you find the appropriate course of action and proceed that way even when you fail There's only one path down which to proceed Even if once you fail and lose heart if you regain your courage and find your way along the highest path The highest path circumstances will gradually improve. That's like Jordan Peterson talking right hey, you know like Get on do the right thing Pick a little thing and start proving that then clean your room Because they find their own paths those who practice judo and who follow the principle of serial cuisine you Always, have a calm spirit enjoy life And are enterprising the most advanced mental life can only be achieved when people thoroughly absorb this principle City oku Zen u Maximum efficiency what are you doing that is taking away your energy? What are you wasting your energy on? Back to the book a true a person's true value is determined by how much he or she contributes to society during his or her life And because these very contributions enable those who strive to protect themselves to achieve this The purpose of Judo is to perfect yourself so that you can contribute to society This applies to ordinary people as well again This is very very similar to what Jordan Peterson talks about Like you you need to if you if you fix your world. Well.
Do you impact me everyone's world around you mm-hmm? This applies to ordinary people as well But in particular those who specialized in judo must be expected to act in a way consistent with the purposes of Judo When you practice judo you must try to perfect yourself and contribute to society through this practice And you must emphasize the importance of this during your teachings to others Something that seems good because it is near at hand May be useless in the future whereas in some cases a bit of patience is highly effective in furthering your law in the future right delayed gratification The basis of happiness in life is found not in the pursuit of material gains or temporary pleasure and True kindness towards one's friends means giving them serious advice when needed selflessly without fear of offending them Now that one's interesting because I deal with this one a lot right I deal this with a lot because You got your your subordinate. That's not doing what they're supposed to do, and I just was having this conversation with a Group I was working with and they were real big on the word transparency of life and I talked about it on the podcast and and If Here's the question like I'm gonna be transparent with you like like hey echo Your videos you you know they're not good right now Like your videos aren't good You need to tighten up your videos like does that make does that improve our relationship? Does that make you want to do a good job for me does that make you want to like get out there and Really, crush it mmm. No not at all so you know I'm being transparent doesn't help our situation doesn't help what we're trying to do no, it doesn't so I need to figure out a way to tell you something and Normally the best way to do that and here's a big hint for everyone. That's out there if you want to give someone critique That they know that you know they need One of the best ways to give them critique is to take ownership of it take ownership of the problem so I say echo hey I.
Feel like I'm not really giving you good guidance on on the videos and the way they're coming out Mm-hmm I want to sit down and talk to you and actually go through like what what the impact that we're trying to have I want to have and I mean I know you're working hard, but I feel like I'm not giving you good enough guidance I want to sit down with you and try and see if I can be more clear mm-hmm, right Does that offend you no? Well, I know you're doing now, but yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, so you take if you take ownership of the problem And then you talk about the problem with the person it puts it doesn't it makes it makes them not have a defensive posture, which is what you Which is what you want you want don't want them to have a defensive posture Mmm. I actually want to have them have an open mind and be able to listen what I say They won't listen if you're pointing the finger at him. Yeah. They won't listen as well They might listen for a little while yeah, but it won't be a lasting they may be years later Maybe or something like yeah won't help the relationship.
We know that I'm not sure You must remember that the purpose of expending a great deal of effort to build a strong body is to enable you to Undertake jobs that you might otherwise be unable to endure so what he's talking about there. He's dog mouth He basically goes on this whole thing about like being big and buff sure He's not pro in that down for that's not down for the calls like echo Charles He would look at you and think you're wasting too much time on your on your bicep curls. Yeah Might be right Yeah, so that's what he's saying is that he's but he's all about the functional strength you want to be strong so you can do Jobs that you might not be able to endure if you didn't work hard didn't work out hard. Hey That's a balancing act too.
I know you're gonna defend the biceps. I mean of the curls, but But you know how like they say it's even like like kind of like because about example, but he said You wanna save your energy essentially for jobs that are like important rights? No No, he says the reason that you're trying to get strong isn't so you can look big and buff It's so that you can do jobs You can endure jobs that you wouldn't bail - okay gotcha so that that should be the focus of your training Functional strength functions, what these are he's down with the functional strength This guy need to super funny, bro science. I think I told this deep bro. It's life for someone So funny, and he's talking about functional strength.
He said so you know it's jokes or whatever anything? Yeah, so good luck. You can compare your functional strength with my actual strength But in his mind actual strength so it's like how much you can bitch, and yeah, you know how it is Well yeah, that's so not every time I hear like when a guy's starts like heavily advocating functional strength over like uh some some Weightlifter guy or whatever. I think about that that's even though. I'm sure this book came out a lot a lot You know earlier than bro science life Jack Alright back to the book some who practiced judo become overconfident of their health and inevitably fail to look after themselves We must not be careless about where we live our clothing or our hygiene We should pay great attention to what we eat and drink there was a time when people did not deem it a problem to eat And drink to excess, but rather we're proud of a prolific a proud of being a prolific eater or a heavy drinker That way of thinking still persists And is obviously detrimental to health if you do not take care in regard to matters of health there is no benefit in practicing judo Those who practice judo must not only keep this in mind, but must also consider it their duty to remind others That's bolded their their duty to remind that was a star next to that This guy did again.
This guy is like super orderly yeah, and he's You know just gonna tighten people up. You know he's out there going don't eat that doughnut. Yeah But to the nth degree Yeah, that's your duty come on, bro. Yeah, you know it's my duty.
I'm gonna. Go you know I'm gonna go to the mall and buy the food court. You know what's funny is. This is the only thing in the whole book That he says like Judah won't help like if you if you're not healthy do does not even train stop train He has a thing yeah.
He doesn't like that Yeah he's what's that called a pic I hang up yeah, that's Yeah, that's the thing yeah Because judo derives from the martial arts of the past it must perpetuate the spirit of other martial arts loyalty faith honour and various other virtues were emphasized in the martial arts of the past but I keenly feel their importance even today the deterioration of Society's morals today is primarily the result of a failure to emphasize these virtues So I believe that those who practice judo in particular must apply themselves to these matters and restore today's neglected public morals He's got another little hang-up, I wasn't ready to hang up He's but I mean obviously I'm pointing this out because we could clearly look at society today and be like err Well guess what we were on a slippery slope. Yeah. Yeah, you can tell you feel strongly about that all right there Who me or heal him oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah, what about me? Yeah, just yeah, the look on your face indicated that for sure Yeah, you know that's a whole nother thing. It's It's weird cuz you go around different pockets of the world in different pockets of the country and you see various various positions on the slippery slope some people hanging on yeah, but some people are not and they're just slipping and We gotta be careful.
Yeah, and you get and obviously that's a whole nother topic but the You know and you have so many huge major major forces kind of working against it You know pushing us to down the slippery slope like marketing right you know like marketing most Marketing is to appeal to your most like immediate wants Double whatever you know it's the girl that's showing the delicious burgers like yeah, and guess what doesn't even cost that much mmm You know so gratification for cheap yeah, man, so you can get it in the sex throne on top of that Yeah, make you feel good You know what you know and that's everything so you know again If you're not what is it conscious of your situation or whatever you might know sleep? Like is Like I think people lose concentration, that's because most people In my opinion most people are like they kind of know you know we like we go back to the theory of right and wrong What's right? I think most people are pretty good with it like most people feel pretty like that. They know what's behave like it Oh, that's wrong right and they know that hey, you know what that's a good thing to do right. I think most people kind of Like broadly kind of kind of a would agree with those things Yes The problem is and so that's why I think we don't emphasize as much because we think you know what? Most people pretty much agree with me like it's like the center People of the country right now like and the extreme right now the extreme left. No, okay.
Where are you at? It's like okay. Well those people that are in the middle. It's like yeah We we kind of figure like okay pretty much, and so what happens is once We don't talk about it as much well, then the people that are on the fringes mentally They end up without a compass right they just don't even know what's right And what's wrong anymore because people aren't talking about as much because it doesn't seem like we need to mmm I think we might need to Yeah Yeah, and why it's right, then it comes down to your approach and like all this stuff Cuz you know when you have opposing views. It's like if you don't do it with the right approach you Just it becomes more about the fight more so than for sure you know the kind so yeah I think you're right about that.
I think our and are you talking about? People most people know right and wrong because there's a difference between like just like how You were saying where? People know right and wrong, but they don't always do what's right kind of thing probably so is that what you're talking about like Well no no I'm saying I'm saying If you don't teach a kid like hey when you see someone that needs help you go help them Yeah, right? Like little old lady crossing the street, right? Right that seems obvious a little old lady cross the street. She's got a grocery bag You you go okay? Hey can I help you with that grocery bag? And you know help you put it in your car Maybe for you you get a little pump while you're at it with that groceries. Yeah, hope she has a bunch Yeah, so like that's that seems like a real common-sense thing to do and that's like the most Basic example I can think of off the top of my head like okay, so that that would be a good thing to Train A kid to do hey if you see someone that needs some help you give them some help Yeah, especially an elderly person that's having some trouble. That's what you do Yeah, seems real obvious, but what I'm saying it, and and I think even I think most people Most kids would be like oh yeah.
They'd see that and they would tend to go ok. I'll help out But because most people would tend to do that we think we don't need to teach him good And that's where we're losing it like because the people on the fringes. They're not helping that person. There's someone on the fringe That's gonna like oh they drop their bag move steal it from them yeah, right so that's where we end up with a problem.
Yeah Yeah, sure, and that's why these things probably need to come up as part of a conversation a tional or Universal conversations to be had like okay. What is right and wrong Who's given those guidance is now yeah? Where are they coming from evil are people three people aren't reading the Bible anymore to look for their guidance They're not following Buddhism to get their guidance from right. They're just they're just kind of going around Yeah, so where's that coming from yeah, that's true. They're going like going around.
They're seen like what okay? They're looking around me like okay. What are we doing? How are we doing? This is right is this wrong now, and you do it And what are they looking at to get to measure to to establish that from you know what they're looking at Instagram? Yeah, uh whatever's are on the mat. Whatever's around but instagrams around me you to man around them Yeah, that's what's around them, and they're looking at it going okay. Well this is You know that seems so weird all right cool.
That's what we're doing. Yeah. Yeah, okay to sucker-punch this You know this this old, dude Yeah, yeah, you know I you know and I feel a little uncomfortable on it, but you know what it seems normal Yeah, people are doing it fun. Yeah guys are laughing I got a lot of views got a lot of yes, maybe that's what's cool.
Yeah that's what we need to watch out for yeah, and obviously I know that's an extreme case but Really that that that's true We're especially okay in these extreme cases will happen by the way if you don't have any other presence of influencer. You know how like Kind of saying this it thought it made sense where Kid your kids or whatever they're gonna learn how to behave whether they learn it from you or Your neighbor or TV or the guy at the club or the guy at the park? Whatever that part is up to you like if you don't want to be there They're gonna learn it from somebody else kind of thing so That idea where okay? What are we you know? This is a society like okay? What are we doing now? How are we doing this? What's right? What's wrong? Is this wrong now? Whatever then we're gonna get that does it guy you said like we're looking around We're trying to see what up you know And if there's no specific thing saying or court not quote necessarily a course yeah, even though of course would be cool if there's nothing Present there to demonstrate it then they're gonna be like all right. Well. What is here to demonstrate it and what I'm saying is We've gotten away from things that in the past would have guided us at least someone And you'd had this sort of Sort of fundamental Universal understanding of like thou shalt not kill right sure well Okay, that that.
That's a biblical thing and well you know maybe when a kid is 15 years old and he's feeling angry about something and He's thinking you know what I play a video game all day where I shoot like people in this video game and that makes me Feel better well, maybe make me feel better to go out and do that in a school Yeah, right, that's that's that's what happens Yeah, so if we don't have if we don't lay out these things for people even though most people don't need them There's some people that need them That's my point Is that we've gotten to a point where we think you know what pretty much everyone kind of gets it And if everyone kind of gets it, I don't need to emphasize that much yeah, and so I'm not gonna emphasize it Yeah, well there's some people that need it Yeah, and even if you don't quote-unquote need it. It's kind of like exercising. You know a great shape I don't got exercise wool yet. You kind of do.
You know yeah, it's interesting times Yeah This is interesting speaking of interesting instructive talks on morals Presented in the classroom often become abstract or involve stories of people from the distant past So they're not likely to inspire the listener But moral lessons that can be acquired through judo's randori are based on facts and are much more likely to make an impression and it can be said that the habit of observation the ability to Make decisions quickly and the ability to remain calm and resolute that are cultivated through fighting are also valuable outcomes of the practice of Judo these abilities However will not be developed merely by doing kata and randori training without any thought These abilities will naturally develop when one takes care and fought in practicing them on a daily basis So this is this is something very interesting think about so I thought that was great like hey you learned about something You know you read the Bible. You know it's like ah that doesn't really make sense to me It's some guy that lived thousands of years ago and well I don't really get that I. Don't really get why I should be humble because it says you should be humble well get on the mat Now you get humbled and you feel you get humbled right so there's that's that's like the perfect Example of how hey what you learn on the mat? Is is truly understood, but if you're don't get no and if no if you don't think about the fact that hey that reflects life - by the way that Reflects life by the way if no one makes that connection for you. That's problematic and I mean clearly Jiu-jitsu This is a big difference between jiu-jitsu and judo if we talked about what the competitions are like you talk about how you get disqualified Jiu-jitsu you have people and jiu-jitsu that have bad attitudes, right? But they don't they don't apply what they learn in jiu-jitsu so one of the things that You know you know my attitude always is with jiu-jitsu is like if I get if I beat someone in jiu-jitsu If you're if you Understand jiu-jitsu if you beat someone in jiu-jitsu you realize that doesn't make you a better person than the person that you beat what it means is you've trained more than them that's what it means or It means you caught him that time means you got lucky with a move it means they made a mistake and you had trained enough To be able to capitalize on it It doesn't mean you're a better human being than they are and There there are people in jiu-jitsu that think oh I am a better Human being than that person is because I him out it's like actually no not true at all Yeah, so if you're not connecting these bigger broader lessons and connecting jiu-jitsu Life Then what you have is just just this isolated sport, which diverges which is a it's not even a sport It's an it's an isolated Might makes right attitude on the mat, which is not a good thing yeah It's not a good thing at all jiu-jitsu should be making you humble because you should recognize like oh, yeah well I've been training longer than this guy and that's why I can beat them and One day if they keep training more than me They'll be able to beat me so hopefully I'll keep training and we'll have a relationship And we'll be able to support each other and that's the attitude yeah, so I think that's one of the things where You know you've got in my mind.
You've got judo on one side, which is you know really strict and controlled and and less Evolutionary because it doesn't evolve as much and you have jiu-jitsu on the other hand which is wildly Evolutionary it's incredibly creative like there's a there's less creativity in judo. There's way more creativity in jiu-jitsu and I. Think in the middle especially on the attitude part is where Jiu-jitsu now is like you need like you go to jiu-jitsu competition like little kids that are they have their bad sports right their bad Sports teams they did not learn sportsmanship hmm And that's an important thing because what a sportsmanship mean sportsmanship doesn't just mean like you're a good sport on the mat No, it means that in life. You can handle getting beaten and you're gonna get back up and you're gonna.
Have a good attitude that's what sportsmanship is that's why you're trying to teach that to your kids Yeah, right and There's a million little things like that in jiu-jitsu that you learned like just the hard training. Well you you know what in jiu-jitsu Sometimes you work hard and you still get beat yeah, that's the way life is yes sir That's the way life is you work hard you give it everything you got you still gonna get beat well guess what do you learn from that you learn about life from that yeah, the creativity part if You're stuck in a box on something and and he talked about that earlier like oh, yeah when he's talking about there's only one path Again, I talked about him as being a very I won't see not creative, but he's got an orderly brain, right I never look at something that there's one path yeah like and by the way if I fail in business He's like hey. There's only one path. No if I fail in business.
I'm actually gonna look and see like well Okay, what other path could I take now? He's talking about the path like like I'm not saying hell No the hell with discipline And I'm gonna do whatever I want so he's saying stay on that path and that makes sense But there is a certain lack of creativity there like okay. Well if I make a mistake I'm to assess, and I'm gonna see what I can do differently again I'm not arguing that that's that he was saying. No don't ever try anything else but That is an important piece that you learned from jiu-jitsu like oh if I can't pass the guard This person's guard this particular way I need to take a different approach you learned that from jiu-jitsu and you can apply it to life so all these lessons That if you don't pay attention to what you're learning in jiu-jitsu And you don't reflect on it and put it back on your life Well, then all you're learning is how to fight people and beat them up Well, then jiu-jitsu is not doing what it should it's not doing what it could be doing for you Yeah, look you need to be careful that yeah I think his thing his one path is is it's this really broad in general kind of Dura. It's more of a direction Yeah, it is.
It is. That's a bad example for me to use But at the same time I want to make sure people aren't like well. You know I'm gonna stay on the path I'm gonna stay the course. I'm gonna stay the course.
You know what we failed that time, but it's okay I'm gonna stay the course. I'm gonna keep going no no no assess see what you can do differently All right Effective use of mental and physical energy again. He's he's talking about this Sukira Zen yo an integral which is integral to the teachings of Judo competition can be applied to many aspects of life those who practice Judo must measure their behavior by this principle on a daily basis and make corrections when appropriate if you actually apply this standard to every Aspect of your life from food clothing and shelter to your work and relationships You'll find that you often have to correct your own mistakes those Who do this will make progress day-by-day in advance in life those who fail to? Do so will never progress and in many cases will regress So keep an eye on those little things With regard to memory in the early stages of practices of Judo You must do what you have been taught in order to do this. You must remember things as well as practice progresses You must you must remember not only what you have been taught But also what you have observed so there are many situations in which memory is vital you will develop that ability Naturally to come up with ways to remember things He's talking about some of the benefits of learning judo So one of those you learn to remember things next we come to the area of imagination This is not particularly necessary during the early stages of the practice of Judo But becomes quite necessary later you may experience experiment with various outcomes carefully anticipating How your opponent will react but if there is a limit to the ideas? You can come up with and if the range is narrow.
No good ideas will come to you no matter how much time passes on The other hand if you come up with a variety of ideas one after another and if your thoughts Extend to things quite different from your original idea you can come up with a perfect solution among those ideas so he talks about creativity and This is interesting next come loose language This is very important to the practice of Judo the reason is it is The reason is that in randori as well as in kata if you try and explain a particular Method in words unless you explain it exceptionally logically and clearly your listener will not understand what you mean There are some things that can be demonstrated in detail using kata while others Do not lend themselves to this method in some cases you must explain things in writing or verbally when teaching whether you Demonstrate things through kata only or by giving a verbal explanation while demonstrating the kata makes a big difference to the listener This is a truism when you ask something when you ask someone about something you do not understand or Discuss something in depth it is highly beneficial if you can talk about it clearly Thus it is so in the practice of Judo take care take care to discuss things? Logically and clearly so even he talks about the importance of being able to express yourself and Having good command of the language hmm it applies to judo is that reaching maybe a little bit But we'll give it to him. I'm gonna give it to him Do you know yeah the way I see it is like you know that what is the laws of combat simple? Oh, yeah, that's that's what Sighs yeah for sure yeah, you're right good. Call I. Like it Next I would like to discuss the need for broad-mindedness broad-mindedness means open to new ideas as well as the ability to organize various kinds of ideas at the same time without mixing them up The reason this is important to the practice of Judo is that when there is no broad-mindedness People often become overly confident in their own beliefs such that if there are new ideas that are superior Not only do they not accept these new ideas But in doing so they failed to determine their value and whether they are good or bad This is something you see all the time with people with ego a closed mind they don't listen anybody else they don't come up with any new ideas, it's Horrible so keep an open mind My way or the highway yeah, or is that a different thing? You don't want none of that my name is aiwei.
Yeah This is speaking of simple the theory of Judo fighting includes some quite complicated Ideas when we consider the relationship between the body and the four limbs their positions how to use them how to handle the mental Aspects one theory gets mixed up with many others, so it becomes difficult to reach an overall conclusion even if we link these complicated theories to look at them separately the ability to unify them in the end must be the second requirement for broad-mindedness You can't be able to connect things you gotta be able to simplify things This is interesting there is a teaching in judo competition that says one must look at the relationship between oneself and others and one's surroundings So you have to orient is is the zoo de Loup yeah? This is a loop so you have to you have to orient yourself to What's happening? You have to look around and see what's going on? Another one in judo fighting there is a teaching Sake ohtori which means anticipate simply put this means using your Wazza on your opponent before He can use his walls on you boom be aggressive default aggressive Don't wait for the enemy to do something mm-hmm you do it first There is another teaching in judo fighting do Kiril donk oh and this translates to decisive action after careful consideration Dookie arrow means carefully considering the situation before attempting to use a wasa Donk Oh means acting without delay once you have made a decision When this teaching is applied to the path people take in life it can indeed be relevant in many situations. This is a good one What youyou consider what you're gonna do but then once you make a decision you go you go full speed You go full speed you always reassess you always keep your mind open even when I'm like I made a decision like hey Or you know what we've debated this enough. Let's go even when I say that and I mean it I'm still just making sure I always make sure yeah, yeah And then I run to my death it seems like he's more talking about like don't don't don't don't make a decision Go and then hesitate the whole time. That's definitely true and also don't sit there and wait to make a decision You know make a decision, but this is what's interesting? Here's here's a conch back to the book a further teaching which seems to be somewhat Contradictory to donk o is known as toe tomaru Kokoro o Scheider and that translates know when to stop This means that when you venture to use a Wazza up to a certain point, but when you reach that point You must stop again this rule has Universal applicability to many aspects of life as well, so there you go You got those two opposing forces one is like go and the other ones like know when to stop So those are let's just say very important One of the most important concepts and judo fighting says if you win do not boast of your victory if you lose Do not be discouraged when it is safe.
Do not be careless when it is dangerous Do not fear simply continue down the path ahead Right those are normal face. Yeah normal face yes affirmative When encountering social pressures such as those such as those we experienced today even an incredibly strong willed person can lose spirit and experience great adversity This is when we must this is when he must show true character at times like these the ability to overcome Difficulties endure and be patient preserved ones honor and maintain a spirit of integrity are truly valuable above all else In order to do this first you must develop good daily habits these good habits include simplicity and Moderation and while thinking of yourself always keep other people and society as a whole in mind as well You must not trouble others for your own convenience, and if you can you must try to benefit others while benefiting yourself In other words you must perfect yourself and contribute to society, which is the ultimate purpose of the study of Judo? Then judo is a lot bigger than you thought it was it is. Yes, sir. He's trying to take it to the distance No way those who want to do something to benefit society must first make sure they can easily take care of their own business Yeah clean your room.
Yeah as Jordan he says Take care of your own business You know then you can worry about the rest of society look two oxygen masks you put it on yourself first Then you put it on your coz if you're suffocating how you gonna help your kid you're not you can't here We get a little controversy professional wrestlers and boxers are generally people of low character I don't know if they can sit on oh definitely don't sign on with that and no matter how superior their skills they're mostly looked down on by society I guess we'd have to do some research as to what the boxers and wrestlers were like back in his time in Japan some Kodokan members have gained popularity popularity performing on tour with them But I don't believe this behavior is - is in accord with the aim of Judo true judo practitioners must not be performers Hmm, so that's there you go right that explains a lot. Yeah sure he won't like McGregor No, no, no, I'm like down the pond for sure McGregor don't care. No All right And this is this is again I I had to call these things out because obviously I don't agree with ball wrestlers and boxers being people of low character in fact I believe the opposite of that But here's a good one in the future When asked to compete against wrestlers or boxers the competitors must decide whether the judo? Practitioners will compete under the rules of boxing arrest wrestling or whether the opponent will compete under the rules of Judo however those contests must never be commercialized They must be merely trials between volunteers for the purpose of research if for some reason showman Should get involved people get charged admission And it becomes a spectator sport you must recognize that this is in complete violation of the spirit of Kodokan judo Hmm, so what about Olympic judo, then that's that's a violation Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things you'd call, but actually you know judo gene LeBell Yeah, he fought he fought against the boxer Milo Savage in 1963 and I think it was Denver I forget what it was, but yeah That was like that's kind of noted as sort of the beginning of like whatever popular MMA. Right boxer versus judoka and judo gene LeBell is a American Icon he's an icon of grappling if you don't know judo gene LeBell is look him up.
He's awesome And he actually so he did this back in the day back in 1963 What do you think the outcome was boxer versus judo yeah in a fight fight? No, they fought they fought they fought like in an MMA fight I mean it was it was an it was you fight each other go Let's gene the bill then yeah, that's Ching the bell all day right yeah takedown rear naked choke. That's what he got yeah That's what he got. That's how it went so Yeah that's You know it's just interesting how completely commercialized Yeah, this is and it's also interesting that again closed mindedness, or I don't know if you call it closed mindedness But he has a very orderly brain yeah, and he was like look. It's either gonna be Those rules or these rules.
He didn't think to himself like hey, you know what what if you just mix it up And you do it all together. Yeah, all rules. Yeah, all rules. Why wouldn't we do that? Which is interesting because in judo they do cover striking, and you don't hear about it much But they have those are part of it hmm, so it's interesting that in his mind is like knowing It's either those rules.
Yeah, these rules. Yeah, very rigid yeah, very rigid thinker yeah, that's a good point Back to the book in everyday randori practice fighting against another person is not the real purpose of the practice of Judo Because fighting to see who will win is interesting it is done on a daily basis. Yes it is It goes without saying that becoming able to beat someone is one of the ultimate goals of the practice of randori however There's clearly a difference between becoming able to beat someone at a future time and becoming obsessed at beating someone now In order to beat someone now It is best for those who are strong to use that strength to overcome the other person's strength however with that method if you encode? Encounter opponent who is much stronger than you, are you will naturally lose So even if you lose for a while the correct practice of randori is to slip dexterously away from your opponent Adapt to his strength caused him to lose his balance while stepping back and then take advantage the opportunity to perform a Wazza if you do this kind of training you will For a while often be twisted by the arm and held down or push down by your opponent But if you do not frequently engage in this kind of training you will never learn how to beat a stronger opponent So this is what we talk about all the time when we talk about relaxing and trying to relax and Putting yourself in bad positions, and not using your strengths. That's what we're talking about and again That applies to life as well that applies to Not stayin in your comfort zone Not in continuing to concentrate on what you're good at mmm focus on your weaknesses That's what that talks about It's interesting his how he said don't don't Be focused on beating the other guy You know it's almost like holier talked about that real briefly right when I first met him where Hughes I got Like it's not like you're not looking how big the guy is how tough? He is what belty has and all this stuff It's like you're focusing on on your jiu-jitsu what's lacking what I know and don't know You know if I'm focusing on the other guy in ya.
I'm gonna beat him and all this stuff That's not what what the jujitsu is yeah, and I'll go ahead and say this like this is This sounds good It's but we all I mean at least every single person I trained with like We're trying to we're trying to wait yeah That being said now actually I'm gonna go ahead and correct myself like we train we want to win But like you take way more risks training with our with our training team Then you would take if you were training with someone else Yeah, right you take you know you take rescue try new things you put yourself in a bad position So I'm gonna try this I'm gonna try this arm lock. I'm gonna try this choke even though I might end up on the bottom, but that's okay. Well. You know what I mean, so I guess that's true I don't focus completely on just trying to beat the other person Yeah, so that's that's actually very accurate and I think as you are as you start this game That's the best attitude to have is like hey you Got to relax.
I was talking to a buddy mind That's just starting jiu-jitsu out and he's like my age, and yeah, he's like man. I'm trying to relax Parker Tried to relax harder and actually what I do I send him a text I was like it's like rock climb have you ever done a rock climbing before yes So there's technique in rock climbing like there's legit technique obviously Well, it's not obvious if you've never Rock climbed before there's a massive amount of technique in rock climbing It's the way you position your fingers the way position your hands the way you use your legs you don't hang the weight on your Muscles you hang it on your your bones and your ligaments So you're not getting tired your muscles aren't getting tired out because you're using the technique If you don't know rock climbing guess what you do you hang on to the freakin rock with all your muscle and just as long As you can that's exactly what happens in jiu-jitsu when your technique is good. You're just gonna hang on yeah you know That he the whole thing about you Justin winning, and he and he used the word obsessed Yeah in reason when you really look at it, I mean as in the moment yeah, you want to beat the guy like that That's when you train or someone in jiu-jitsu or especially when you compete in jiu-jitsu. That's actually where the shift kind of curs he mentioned competition as Not a spectator sport.
This is just for experimental purposes research research search purposes Which is essentially just training really for sure it's kind of like kind of how when they started the first UFC that That was what they were kind of pushing to they're like we're gonna See how what martial arts style exactly right and but really you know the people the thing that people Came to see was that for sure, but it was a show who's gonna win, and oh yeah, yeah And when you really look at it, so you see one two all these things it was I. Don't want to say rare, but it was almost rare when aside from points Gracie of course And you know Ken Shamrock and stuff like this. It was really rare to see the style get maintained It was like these karate guys had their stance and the fight was started as a street fight Yeah, exactly right so and that was part of the research kind of kind of thing But you know people were there to see who's gonna kick whose ass but It in jiu-jitsu when you're really when you really think about it you we are kind of maintaining that like we want to see like we're Researching all the time yeah and useful work And you're you can you can fall back and forth like sometimes you can get sucked into being obsessed with beating that guy and maybe If you kind of use it, you know it's like using anger to help you I don't know get more strength or something just for a moment or whatever I kind of think that's okay And I think we all kind of do it in one way or another not the anger thing necessarily But that I'm gonna like me in you for example. I might incorporate a little bit up today, so I'm gonna get Junko today That's what I'm kind of focused on it for a second.
Yeah, yeah for a second to help me get better Maybe even get me past a mental barrier or something like that and you know you can do it But the big picture is just what he's talking about I just want to get better it might do kind of thing and I will say this too. I. Eagerly Positive to be like yeah I don't want to lose and and the only way you're not gonna lose is to train all the time Yeah, so the days that you the days you're like well. You know I don't like yesterday I I was on a different time zone came back.
It was I got back in the day I had a work to do as soon as I hit the ground I got done with that I hit a quick workout, and now it's like. Oh, it's guess. What time it is jujitsu time, and I'm like well You know oh, well you know maybe it's been a long day look at my shoulder kind of hurts right now So maybe I'll just you know dress Then I was like no Go go to train because because what I know is not training No, it's it's this is not training one day might not make a difference But that one day does make a difference you might not you might tell yourself It doesn't make a difference, but there's that there's something in there is every day of training You can get matters every day counts you can't get it back, and if you miss it You miss it especially like right now alright. Well.
I've been traveling a lot lately way more than normal So I know like if I gotta get there. I get my rounds in Got to get my rounds it. That's the way it's got to be and part of that is my ego brothers my ego saying look I. Gotta just you know I gotta fight.
I got a straw gonna be stay on top We gotta stay on top of the mountain as high as I can like hungry minds and the young bucks are out there They're coming after me. Yes. I appreciate that mmm, but that keeps me in check My ego the positive party he goes that I do I do want to win mhm and I don't want to get beat Now that being said guess who I trained with my train with all the guys that most likely to beat me That's what I want I want to have that happen so there's a balance there's a good balance there and at the end of the day there's really no escaping, and I think it's real prevalent like for you and Dean and the It's really prevalent. We're sure you have all that you have all those thoughts You know in your head or whatever? But it all comes in the whole reason you have that thought is to get better at Julie for sure It's yeah, because I when you start jiu-jitsu you like some people say even me like well You know I'll just I just want to get good enough to like you know be able to defend myself Well after six months, man, you're good So what am I doing here 25 years later still didn't save dad Because like there's a couple guys that I will I you know I want to keep ahead of or even with or catch You know like that's what's driving.
So there's there's a definite ego thing involved but I Think the other where that goes too far the ego goes too far This is an obvious answer is like oh, I don't really you know I'm not gonna train with that guy because he might catch me right then now you're not now you're not progressing now You're in this thing that he's talking about like you're not gonna progress because you're not gonna train with that first or you're not gonna Take any risks whatsoever so you're just gonna defend defend, and you're like oh, I survived around and I'm out of here Yeah, so you got a you you got to keep that attitude of like hey, I'm gonna get beat. Yeah And you know that's the thing jujitsu works, man Yeah, jujitsu works. If somebody catches you yeah doesn't matter who they are right they catch You jujitsu works you tap out you go again. That's the beautiful thing about jujitsu yes.
That's the beautiful thing about life Cuz in life. You're not gonna win every time you're gonna. Call it You're gonna make mistakes someone's gonna capitalize on them, so what are you gonna? Do you give up and even more important than that? You can lose You can lose is whatever thing you're trying to do you can lose you're trying to start a new business you can lose you're trying To get a new job, you can lose You can lose in life So are you gonna? Prevent that from even getting you let that prevent you from even getting on the mat in the first place on even trying to start a new business even trying to Try to do something that's outside your comfort zone That's what this that's what this is saying get outside of your comfort zone. Yeah, don't sit there.
It's not gonna Help you yeah And you can see it with with the guys who you can tell or just focus on like being the guy who be? The other guy kind of thing then I'll do those kinds of things They'll roll and then when they after you know two three rounds when they're they feel their steam kind of going down the leave Where they'll sit on the side and talk you mean like I'm not rolling anymore We're the only real small guys did that - Andy yesterday what we did like six rounds And I was like Brian ease our backup because you know he's training for events you know I'm like I'm I'm gonna give I was like hey. I called dr. Luke. I'm like dr.
Luke Give me some help over here, and he's a backup. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know cuz gotta got to get him to step it up but What's interesting or what the reality is when I have the time or when I'm not when I have the time, but like I? Always get my rounds in - like We're doing if we got two guys that are competing and we're doing you know two and one out Like I put them through and then I go through it - because I want to get my training because I'm trying to get better - right to your point yeah, you're not in there I'm trying to get better yeah, and that's exactly what I mean, and it's obvious you know But you know you know it's a big symptom of someone who's who's focusing on the wrong thing is like If they don't do well or whatever and they say stuff like oh you're lucky This is in MMA or something like that or they're like they're unhappy about the fact that they got pressured by you specific Like a cetera this guy will remain nameless um And that's what he'd always say like oh.
Yeah, if there were strikes. I would have won kind of thing You'd say that kind of stuff all the time. I was like brah Focusing on the wrong thing right now the fact that you quote-unquote got beat, or I beat you And this is how you would've beat me. You know you focused on the wrong thing why do you think I do cuz I do this I do the opposite when I roll with someone and I'll be like hey you know like I'll catch him or whatever I'll back.
Yeah, you know hey if this was MMA like let's say I'm gonna remember fighter catching. I'll be like hey You know if this is MMA. You know you're on top for a while you didn't you'd have been pounding me in the face I would've been good you would want more if I'm going against jiu-jitsu guy and I catch him or something I'll be like yeah, you know though if that was points though You were up like eight points you probably beat me that was a that took me 15 minutes to get so you wouldn't want yeah And it CIA obviously, I don't know exactly what's been on your head, but it seems like That would be something you'd say to someone to make them kind of feel better because you know It's a little mini competition in there for real I mean
That's essentially what makes it so good because he's giving you an accurate look how in a motivated opponent attack or whatever would look like He's going full-speed against you so there is that element of like we're competing against each other and when you lose this kind of light Loss to this guy especially if you're not that used to training or or so I'm just being nice you're being nice I think yes, and at the same time if you've seen stuff like hey if he this was MMA. You'd be pounding me or something like that that there could be a little element of your own training kind of like you just went To lots like yeah, I kept that in mind Where you know? I would have got hit there And you're just kind of voicing it may be for the benefit of yourself as well as the day I don't know that that's what it seems like what happened.
It's almost thinking those things Chuck well You know that's we could go on this book for a long time. I think that's a good place to Reflect and say look there's a lot of principles that you can apply judo, and Jiu Jitsu. There's things that Jiu Jitsu Should you should take from Jiu Jitsu and things that you should take from judo principles? And if you mix those two together you still get something that's really powerful not just on the mat But something that's really powerful to apply to your life Again is everything in this Theory's perfect. No Somebody asked me that the other day.
I was with a group of young leaders and Someone because I was talking about how it's beneficial to read about history and understand warfare and understand it gives you an insight into human Nature because you insight into people the way people think and all this stuff, and this guy says hey, do you ever think that? Maybe what you read was wrong And if you apply what what was you read you'll actually end up making a mistake Or do you just follow what you know history, and I'm like no that's the whole reason I. Go because the more you read the more you understand the more different angles you see and I'm questioning every decision I make I'm questioning all these things all the time, and I'm using all these different information that I have in my head as sounding boards to check off of Like what well at least let me shed some light on it gather some intelligence. That's what that's what I'm trying to do So yeah question yourself and question these theories. That's what I think that's one of the best things about It's one of the best things about MMA and jujitsu and fighting right now is that it's evolving so fast And and and it's open for it, and if you're not down for that right now You're gonna be left in the dust you're gonna be left in the dust does this mean that every fancy new move that comes out Should be applied to your game.
No it doesn't mean that at all does it mean that every fancy GG Jitsu move that you saw in Worlds would be super effective in a fist fight No, it doesn't mean that at all But should you have an open mind to understand that some of those things could be absolutely beneficial um yes? You definitely should so keep an open mind with everything that you're doing You know that idea of broad-mindedness sometimes. I wish Kano would have had a little bit more broad-mindedness Yeah Cuz that would you know it would have been beneficial you know that's one of the sad things about judo as they they outlawed The double leg takedown in judo you can't do it. You can do it after you've done another Takedown attempt so it can be like a follow-on gotcha, but that's not cool. No That's not cool And it's the same thing with with jiu-jitsu right when they outlaw certain submissions like the the heel hook with G Jiu Jitsu Yeah Right like the heel hook is still there the heel hook itself Is still there in the in the? The motion of yeah that area you shouldn't a lot It should be part of it because then you have people ending up in positions where they're not effective fighting positions They're not because you can get heel hook in your gear never torn apart.
Yeah, so why would you outlaw something? That's very effective. It's it's I. Understand there is some danger in the heel hook for those of you that don't know the danger of the heel hook is that it? Doesn't create pain before it creates industry it injury well It doesn't create a lot of pain before it creates industry in injury so you can feel you can have a heel hook on you and you can be like oh I can get out of this and The person starts applying pressuring you like oh that doesn't really hurt and then pop your get your you have to go get surgery now Yeah, that's the problem with heel hooks But if you and your training partners understand that and if competitors understood like hey if I get caught here I'm gonna end up in surgery if I don't tap yeah So that's the if you understand that then you won't go in these positions that where you're exposed to heel so That's what you should do not only with jiu-jitsu, but you should do with life to like understand. What really works Don't outlaw things don't avoid things just because you're not good at yeah, open yourself up to him Do you know why they don't come? They really don't allow heel hooks in ghee competition.
Do you know? Why are you asking? Yeah, but you know the reality that they say I think it's because the the possibility of injury. Yeah the nogi They let it lie because you can slide more And I don't know and I think that's I think that might be just tradition But hopefully you know they should allow double leg takedown Xin judo. They should allow heel hooks and jiu-jitsu In engage it's ooh. Now this doesn't mean if you roll with me, and we're rolling G you just slap a heel hook on me because I.
Won't be expecting that and I'll be pissed or that should be part of training yeah And so congratulate is oh yeah, I guess you're right. I can't tighten it up Yeah, let's see that is one of those thing here's what it is with the helix Wiggy like if someone Busta cuz it's so widely known as as a Mouthful yeah, it's a so if you get a guys especially. Let's say extreme scenario a new guy comes in he's a purple belt Hungry blue belt he comes in he rolls with you know one of the instructors black belt or whatever ye You know they're rolling and he's going super hard and he goes for a heel hook pause right there Technically the what what as far as what we're talking about that should be okay. We're all here training.
We're all getting better He's going hard. Thank thanks for the good training kind of thing he did a but we're essentially trained to see heel hooks with the Gil as Disrespect yeah, it's against the rules you have to go It's so embedded in it so it's embedded in the culture really, but really but as far as what we're talking about Like it's it's really. Okay. You know yeah look I'll Say no, that's not okay.
No Contradictory for me because but this is the similar thing right if you if you came into the gym and like You went for heel hook on me. We were training key, and I started punching in the face Right that like like you weren't expecting that, but you should be prepared for it So there is a virus if you understand that that's what your training like Oh? Are we Street rules punches legal allowed what I'm saying. There's there's certain things that are Universally as far as I I have not been anywhere And I talk to a lot of people I roll a lot of different to places where it's like you're wearing a geek You're it's you're you're cleared hot to do heel hooks. Yeah.
I have not seen that anywhere me neither It should be that way well. I mean Chris Technica thing is I'm with you and you know there's exceptions of course and just because I happened is it Craig Craig Baker Will allow even say yeah, yeah You can he look it doesn't come up because just like never saying it's so widely known and understood from the beginning Yeah, you don't do heel hooks with Iggy. It's just but why is that we don't really think about Why is that and doesn't want because those are the? Recognized Sanctioned rules right just like the recognized sanction rules say that if we're grappling. I'm not gonna start punching you in the face No, but I know because that's punching in the face in that grappling like if he it punching in the face does deviate from when? You when you start learning to do - unless? It's understood that that's the kind of training you're gonna get so here's the thing okay when I put on the eat these root these Moves are not allowed, right? There's no Yeah, I don't know there's no rules I mean sure IBJJF.
But you know muscle is a Probably bigger percentage of people that do jiu-jitsu have never competed in IBJJF tournament probably the majority people yet We're following IBJJF rules in training sometimes Even though actually the key competitions, I've never heard of Aggie competition that allows he looks yeah, you know But who that's not the point the point isn't that they're not allowed so don't do them That's not the point the point is why are they not allowed given what we're just talking about there in my opinion, they're not allowed because of the propensity or a possibility of an injury or People think that there's a high possibility you could get injured they're in here They're somewhat accurate because it is a different kind of pain It was a lack of pain, and so there's a little bit accuracy. Yeah, I dig it and I see if you know Specially if that is true as far as why they want it because some people might sit. They don't want it because jiu-jitsu was always looked at as this linear thing like Donna Donna mentioned kind of mentioned part of this where You know you get past the legs and you work your way up his body to tap them out and you can start tapping them out when you get up to the upper body and The legs were just something you had to get past because they're gonna try to kick you and you know they have leverage on their Own body and all this stuff, and that's it. That's traditionally.
How we look at jiu-jitsu and that's the effectiveness this is the best and all this stuff now you get you know a new person or Someone from samba or whatever will come in and be like oh, that's jiu-jitsu or let me go ahead and kind of Flip it upside down a little bit invasions what this jiu-jitsu and they're like we don't like that kind of thing yeah That could be why I'm just saying that's what every why yeah Could be why could I ask you this I have I have heard like that People's initial reaction I think I've heard Dean's here. That's like if your reaction is like. Oh, that's not good for my game We'll just outlawed yeah, but that's what it resulted here cuz all jiu-jitsu guys are training this way You don't did hey do you double leg takedown SAR not good for judo? Against a wrestler you get someone that's been wrestling for 27 years and they come and do judo competition, they hit a double leg, it's not good for the judo player yeah They're so guess. What kind of thing yeah, and so guess what out long Yeah, which is a bummer right and so yeah? I'm not.
I'm not pro out long. That was the ultimate point there That's what I heard of so let me ask you this do you think in training Hugh hooks with the gay just you personally? You think they should be allowed he looks we think he I think they should be allowed every time all the time everywhere but They are not right now and therefore in my mentality is like okay Because I'm not gonna put myself into a position that a heel Hook is available to you unless I know that they're not available exactly yeah, I did and I dig in and actually I agree That's the same thing like like if we were gonna roll, and I just did it no good but if I said hey Before we rolled like one we're walking there even right before we kind of you know shook hands, whatever I said hey Hugh, hooks are a go That would change the game. Yeah, we change the game for sure so same thing like if you're doing noogie And you know guys like they just don't know or whatever. They'll grab your shorts.
They'll grab your shirt rash guard or whatever They'll grab it You know because they just don't know even if you it's the same deal less dangerous of course But same deal where it's like when you start doing that they'll stop be like hey you can't do that kind of thing But if you say before you roll hate yeah, you can grab shorts or whatever up to you Just don't pull them off or something like that. It's kind of one of those deals Yeah, you could I guess make some ad hoc rules before you start rolling, but yeah Or just go with what's universally accepted at this time Slaps in the face or legal sometimes. It's cool. Whatever check all right? Well like I said a lot of stuff to learn from Judo and Jiu Jitsu to make yourself better in those sports and in life so good yeah, but the I.
I was actually pretty. I don't think impress, but pretty yeah impress, but the whole book yeah Yeah, except for the part about telling people how to eat telling people how to eat the calisthenics are no good Yeah, being buff is a waste of time. There's definitely some and is some truth to that or this It's weird cuz as I'm preparing the podcast. I'm like okay.
Do I just Say the things in here that I agree with oh, yeah, yeah, that's one way I could do it Do I because one thing that's I I was thinking about when I read a quote from a book people? Do they kind of think like well I agree with that like I support this unless I? Outwardly just reject it yeah, and I kind of did half the book where I was like well You know I don't want to talk about that because I see where he's coming from but that's not really my gig And then I got to other parts I was like I have to talk about the fact that he thinks that this stuff is you know this is a completely different than What I think you know yeah, so yeah, I guess I try and explain myself as I talk about it, but yeah There's there's definitely some things that that I don't agree with there's some things that I don't agree with about about judo like You know there's things that I don't agree with about jujitsu I think that's why I think There's a good mixture of the two that would be very powerful Bring we need to bring Dave camera on yeah You know some of these other guys that have grown up in judo and are savage at jujitsu yeah Okay Anyways, cool well speaking of you know getting better in jiu-jitsu and getting better in life sure any suggestions on How people could get better yes, so when you get when you start doing jiu-jitsu Okay, you're gonna get that's probably one of the one two three maybe four Questions you're gonna have the first four what kind of gear get you get that's gonna be one of them. That's my guess That's my prediction Um sure you can be in jiu-jitsu and still say hey gee should I get you know whatever anyway? Here's the answer Origen you get an Origin Heat. That's what you do Because they are factually Factually see a rigid and being right. There's actually the best keys they're all made in America by the way Different types of G's there they got some new stuff by the way Pete.
Just sent me some new stuff It's not that new they're just different like styles. It's not geese it's what I get some sweats. Oh, okay, which happened to me Happened to be the most comfortable sweats In mics you said you knew you said to me. Sorry, bro.
You know something must be joggers But nonetheless back to the geese yeah get them at origin man calm. That's a good one support yourself Support the Jews it's support life support of America America yes they're made in America you know From the dirt to this shirt from the dirty t-shirt the cotton that has grown in America gets It turns into Iggy somehow Pete does that part isn't it kind of cool to think that when you put on a geek like there's? That Becky came from a factory in Maine came from from a factory in Maine that was built specifically to make jiu-jitsu jeez and that there's People up there the workers up there craftsmen up there that are sewing that ghee for you And then it gets put from Maine into a bag and sent to you isn't that kind of right it is yeah? Not like Kennedy Kennedy have soul I'm gonna ask you that question Kenickie have soul We don't know the answer that Yes, yeah But we can make it an assessment from the outside and if Agee has soul then you'd want that soul become from Maine Right and if certain Keys had souls and some G's didn't have souls you would for sure want the gear with the soul yes Understanding, and if keys do indeed have souls which I tend to believe they do they could then you'd want the good souls The American soul for me Yep Well if Pete starts making shoes you'll know that they'll have souls Wow Echo made of funny MLS or domain.Com, that's where you get them also in jiu-jitsu, okay? We gotta be honest here in jiu-jitsu its physical you twist your arms your neck your body not twist like injure it But you know it gets some work Yeah, and with work needs recovery with recovery comes supplementation good supplementation krill oil I feel like I said the word krill oil probably more than I've said any other food Item or dietary supplement in my whole life good. I'm tired, too Happy about it because of how the benefices got it got more krill oil, too By the way from Pete with the joggers which are nice by the way Also another one called joint where for these are all Jaco supplements by the way if you didn't know super krill That's just regular super chocolate super girl joint warfare, which is another formula for joint maintenance Reconstruction someone said hey, I got knee surgery is this gonna help me Yes, yes, it will help your knee recover. Especially the meniscus situation Julie Yeah, oh, yeah, okay, anything we're okay, so money.
I'm not gonna. Go too. Deep into it, but Anything involving cartilage like these squid that don't get a bunch of blood flow oh yes, they tend to degenerate over well everything degenerates, but Over time ik not for everyone Ya know complacency right no back. You know nonetheless joint warfare That's a good one maintain the joints and this goes for any kind of physical activity Your joints will thank you, or you'll thank your joints.
You'll think Jocko for jock will krill oil and joint warfare also Discipline not just regular discipline is a supplement discipline. It's a pre mission Cognitive enhancing because people were making stuff that helped you physically like a pre-workout and then they were making nootropics That would help you mentally like your cognition sure and well in my job Especially my old job guess what I needed both. Yeah. I needed to be mentally sharp, and I needed to be physically sharp Yeah, so I wanted everything in the same like mix sure blend That's why we made the discipline yeah, and you didn't want to do the pre-workout and then boom and then okay Let me go in the other one right here Okay, the home, and then you know you want to get them both get them both one time one hit One win and you feel it, and it feels good Yeah, that's what like yesterday is talking about the rounds I did yeah Cuz I knew I was coming down as I was gonna pay the man saw sure hit the discipline Yeah tastes good too.
By the way. Yeah, yeah tastes amazingly good. What's interesting about it? Is that spunk fruit? Yeah, it's monk fruit. You know about monk fruit.
No monk fruit is the sweetener that's used in discipline It's like whatever eighty seven thousand times, sweeter than sugar, but it's just as a root but a little bit so you only need a little tiny bit in there low glycemic and next slow omelet lacing the glycemic it doesn't give you the insulin spike And we'll just say and that's good oh yeah, and just so people know there's caffeine in it But there's only 15 milligrams of caffeine so you're not gonna get jittery but you get a little a little micro dose Yeah, I've gets a little help a little little health weather But monk food. Also it like helps in eight. It's it's legit. Yeah It's called discipline tastes good because jock wants it to taste good Yeah, that kind of freaked you out he had through mail for sure he thought maybe I just want things to taste horrible So that's more discipline not black you.
I like that I was like interesting that that was part of the focus, but hey good. I say good Well, you're gonna be really happy that I have this attitude when the when the protein comes out sure in chocolate Yeah, the mint chocolate chip, you know just FYI mm-hmm, it's not normal and It's got the monk fruit in it so that's the sweetener so it tastes delish and It doesn't taste like anything else There's no way that it could taste this good, and and be what it is Scott yeah Yeah, I just made up I had to make up my own name for it. Yeah. Yeah, dig it you did the right thing? It's called Molk Mo LK with the oom lot over the oh you know why tripping to Motorhead? Mayor's good, man.
I think that's good so yeah pretty soon people gonna be on the mold when is that a couple weeks? We've got it we went through the final testing. It's so uh it's so it tastes good It's easy to digest easy all the good things. Yeah, cuz and they so remember back in especially it smoke Yeah, the kind of something you need this is like I don't even know what to say this isn't it's not like a chocolate milkshake. It's not like a protein shake It's like but it's like Mega mass, I think was five thousand or three Thousand was it five thousand probably no.
I was one thousand two thousand five hundred it might have been okay I think that was at South Park those five thousand right double super colostrum seven Nonetheless it was super delicious. It was like a big like dog food bag full of mega mass What five hundred or whatever it was? Chocolate you drink it and it tastes straight up like a chocolate milkshake and guess what it probably was just a G. I was gonna say that's the thing that's yeah. These are all kind of like quote health foods nowadays I call this approach you look at the look at the thing on a protein bar Yeah, and compare the protein bar to a Snickers bar.
Yeah, it's like the same content inside of it Uh, yeah, whatever yes, be careful. I saw a hell. It's cool. That's what was cool about discovering the monk fruit Is being able to make stuff tastes really good without having the crap? Artificial sweeteners in it yeah in a way, that's kind of going back to your roots, right? That's where where it's like.
Okay. We got sweetness sweetness is a thing it's a natural thing. We'd like it You know for a reason all this stuff cool man. Don't do away with the sweetness Yeah, but you know when you start engineering foods to like to do kind of like the advertising I was talking about the wait.
Maybe I should come up with something that just tastes horrible You just have to gut check to taste it just to test yourself mentally. Yeah. Yeah, see how good that? Oh, yeah Gotcha, nonetheless, that's gonna be available the Molk Is gonna be available in a few weeks apparently yeah? From the joint where fur and super krill and this is a good idea by the way do the subscription their recurring We're eight kids So you don't got to remember get down to your last three pills cuz you don't know if you have like six pills That's two days in my case I don't know how many you take but I mean? I know how many you take but I don't know how many other people do you get six pills in there? You don't know how many pills in there you go one pill, okay? I know there's only one at that time too late even six pills technically it's almost too late pretty much you go subscription Don't worry about that stuff boom get the subscription Also, like we said geese rash guards compression gear joggers Most comfortable ones in the world in my experience. I don't know maybe there's a more comfortable one Maybe not if there is I have never seen it do the job just have a soul Probably felt like it They touched your soul Be comforted it for over a hundred percent hundred percent or gin main calm good way to support also in Maine the Jiu Jitsu Immersion camp you immerse yourself in jiu-jitsu for half a week great half a week and a half a week There's like two sessions.
Can you do both sessions? Yes, you can I mean is that like a thing of course? Oh? Yeah, okay, so there's an option for that boom one week immersion into jujitsu just learning. You know it's not like Boot camp were like you know you're gonna be forced to do a bunch of calisthenics, which we don't advocate apparently anymore Kono still we still advocate counseling I had the key Kells especially like a burpee situation which I think is I advocate all kinds of cows all calisthenics Actually, you can't show me a calisthenic that I don't advocate even though people like are like suit ups are no good They work, your psoas mostly. Don't even know I advocate them, too. I like strong sauce muscles.
Yeah, yeah good Yeah, just tell me they were like oh that doesn't even work your abs. It works your still has muscles like cool I've strong psoas muscles next question for Soph yes. They do work your abs trading trade. Don't do sit-ups for one year Yeah, well your other stuff and then do Five sets of burnout sit-ups, and then see if your abs are so in the next day.
Don't see that Mean to failure hug, that's a burnout. Can you even do sit-out sit-ups to failure oh? Yeah, it's hard and it's gonna burn how much time you gotta have you have the whole day Here's the throw the point isn't how many sit-ups you can do or don't can't do the point is that people saying? Sit-ups don't do your ab muscles you know They do that too, but they do you have muscles nonetheless I agree with you Do you do jumping jacks? Yeah? I do jumping jacks to actually do jumping jacks last week You're part of a metcon, but still there was an old old team guy workout Jumping jacks pull-ups, I'm sorry jumping jacks push-ups You just do jumping jacks and push-ups, and you think it's no big deal And then like you're 45 minutes into it like I hate jumping jacks and push-ups Yeah, I don't know if I'd ever do something continuously for 45 minutes. Yeah, well that leave it at your first half of that workout Yeah, I don't get especially have to do anything to get any exercise and you can make it suck after 45 minutes Yeah, like there's I came to think of an exercise. It doesn't suck after 45, but you know he's doing buds neck rotations Just do that in the teams - yeah, you're laying down.
I was like you're like okay I'm just gonna lay down and move my head around Oh laying down. Yeah. I never you lay down neck rotations one two Yeah, ya do that for 45 hours You're like this is the dumbest thing I've ever done life, but glad we're doing it. Yeah yeah, I think you're right about that sure the Met.
Well I figured that key would be if you don't like the whole 45 minutes thing is you do something That's hard enough of a movement that you don't have to do 45 minutes Yeah, that's that's good. If you don't want to just do something like socks before five minutes. I did a metcon like just kind of Representative of what you were talking about earlier where it was It was like how many of this these two movements you can do within a certain amount of time Yeah, so I said which was different usually I set my rest time to a certain time And I do them in full and yeah, that's a good good little changeup Yeah, do that Or you can do the jumping jacks and pull-ups push-ups swoosh, I mean you wouldn't even have pull-up bars, so we're like Amish Straightening the ship or something yeah, okay jumping jacks push-ups, yeah Nonetheless back to origin jujitsu camp. You won't be doing jumping jacks push-ups 100% unless you want to you then you can you know, but it's more learning Jiu Jitsu practicing Jiu Jitsu No pressure unless you put some pressure on yourself, which I recommend Yeah, do that by the way and roll with everybody you know do some what's the word? What's the rolling randori randori will be doing some randori? Yeah, good let it good in straw be there.

It is August 26 through September 2nd of this year also speaking of boring workouts jakka, workouts doing 45 minutes the jumping jacks and push-ups I don't think so But if you want to interesting where actually I shouldn't I shouldn't give you Give you crap about it because I did look on your Instagram, and you had like some Bulgarian bag Yeah on there, so you got a you vary your workout your workout gets interesting Okay, I think it credit so if you want to make your work out interesting get some new movements new equipment And they're gonna audit dot-com Jaco junco Go in there get you some good kettle bells even though kettle bells.
I guess ultimately could be viewed as boring You can make them boring yeah, yeah, that's kind of your boring. Yeah, you know what ultimately that's really what it is Because even me doing the same metcon that I do all the time all I did was switch up like one teeny tiny thing So it's more about me than the workout, or it was work up about the equipment less about the equipment more about me Nonetheless if you want to make it about the equipment Anna has the equipment maces Steel bells see I haven't even done that that's like some advanced creativity stuff.
