ANECDOTE

Inefficient Training

  • Greg Souders followed a high-repetition drilling approach for years, influenced by Lloyd Irvin's 10,000-hour rule.
  • He found minimal improvement relative to his effort, prompting him to seek alternative learning methods.

Judo Book Inspiration

  • Greg's exploration began with a Judo book where technique names directly described the physical action.
  • This sparked a realization about the inefficiency of his previous Jiu-Jitsu training approach.
INSIGHT

Focus on Principles, Not Techniques

  • Techniques are snapshots of successful outcomes, not the complete process of achieving them.
  • The true task is the underlying principle, like passing the legs, rather than replicating specific movements.
