What’s the most unexpected lesson/skill jiu jitsu has taught you—on or off the mats?
Mine would the ability to talk in front of people. Always hated that growing up and would do anything to avoid that situation. Slowly transitioned to teaching and now don't even think about that in front of a class.

Basically stayed them same process for me. Study what I am trying to do, get some drilling in, so I can learn the fundamental movements and why, then try to implement that into live rolling as much as possible.
Key thing at that point is you are going fail a bunch of times with resisting opponents learning something new. That failure is good and helps me learn. I go back and do loops of study/live or positional rolls/fail until you learn all these little details and reactions of a fully resisting opponent and can start hitting stuff consistently on better and better opponents.
