Episode notes

Not every round has to be a fight to the death, taking Jiu-jitsu less seriously can be its own psychological skill. As a hobbyist, your skills may be slipping due to age, so reframing victory and enjoying the art of it is important. Avoiding injury is crucial and not trying to impress others by going too hard. Rolling with people you trust and building relationships is key. The beauty of Jiu-jitsu is the camaraderie and sharing technical ideas.
