Check it out - https://rolacademy.tv/programs/back-control-escapes

I spent a lot of time grappling before I was even aware of jiujitsu. Wrestling matches are structured so differently amongst duration, scoring, and objectives, that I always wanted to push the pace and would inevitably gas out. I spent several months attending open mats with the objective of rolling every round. Eventually, I was able to control my pace and roll every round. 

What have you figured out that you struggled with for longer than you have anticipated?

Time for our weekly question.

What’s a lesson or skill you have learned or developed on the mats at Jiu Jitsu that you have then been able to transfer to other areas of your life off the mats?

For me, an important one has been being able to prioritize and focus on the things that actually matter and move me closer to my goals and to minimize the things that aren’t as important and to avoid the things that I would consider to be outside noise or distractions. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Seminar with Mike Jankun is now available on ROL TV

Do you have a favorite Jiu Jitsu practitioner to watch? Is there a Jiu Jitsu practitioner’s game that you try to emulate? Are they the same or are they different?

For me, I really enjoy watching the Ruotolo brothers compete. They are both very aggressive and exciting. They push the pace and are always looking for a submission. Like a pair of Vipers. 

But the game I try to mimic more would be Gordon Ryan. A much slower and methodical approach to submission hunting. Trying to eliminate all variability while not assuming much risk. The excitement is in the details, not necessarily in the explosive nature.
