The Ease of Learning Jiu-Jitsu Today

The discussion emphasizes how accessible learning jiu-jitsu has become with the advent of online resources. In the past, practitioners had limited options for technical guidance, often relying on in-person instruction from a single coach. Now, a plethora of content is available at one's fingertips, including podcasts, YouTube channels, and online courses. This abundance allows enthusiasts to learn from multiple sources, making it easier to enhance both their techniques and mental approach.
