Hey everyone, what concept helped your guard retention to improve the fastest?

Question of the week.  If you could only choose one style to train would it be Gi or No Gi?  

Do you consider Jiu Jitsu a Martial Art or a sport?

If you could only pick one to train.  Jiu jitsu for self defense or the sport side of Jiu jitsu which would you chioose?

Question of the week.  If you could push the reset button and go back to the very beginning of your jiu Jitsu training. What if anything would you do differently?

I would make it a point to practice the technique’s being taught each week on both sides Meaning the dominant side where we are most comfortable executing the technique and than switching to the less dominant side which for me was always a struggle. 

Here’s the question of the week.  How do you train to stay calm and composed under extreme pressure, like in bad positions?  Getting smashed  or pretty close to being submitted.  

What have you noticed since you started training Jiu jitsu that has helped you off the mats in your everyday life?
