Returning to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu provides a humbling experience that highlights the evolution of the sport over time. As the speaker returns to jiu-jitsu after years of participating in other martial arts, he notes significant changes in techniques, competitions, and training practices, which make him feel like a beginner again. These changes emphasize the need to adapt while still understanding the foundational customs and orthodox practices established by the Gracie family, such as bowing and respecting traditional forms. The speaker draws parallels between this evolution in martial arts and the advancements in technology, particularly in data modeling and AI, where traditional methods can be both relevant and adaptable.
