For this week, I want you to pay attention to the bad habits on your feet that you are practising and get better at. For some, it's chaotic and fast hand fighting. For others, it would be panicking when you are in your opponent's collar tie or an underhook. The list goes on, so look at your habits and ask yourself, which bad habits am I getting better at? Share it here, and let's flip the script: I will tell you how to practice desired habits and moves.

Recently, I realised that EVERYTHING is a practice. No behaviour is neutral. If I press the snooze button, I just got better at hitting the snooze button. If I got angry because someone cut me off on the road, I just got better at getting angry for no reason. If I finish takedown, but don't initiate a pass, I just got better at NOT connecting my top game with my ground game. In a way, behaviour isn't an outcome; it's a practice of your character and mindset for tomorrow. I started to look at my life from this perspective and realised I practice a lot of BS behaviours that I see as a normal activity. I want to be disciplined, but I practice starting my workday at random times (I work for myself, mostly from home). My mind is damn good at explaining it away, but the truth is, I just practised disregarding plans I made last night. I am getting damn good at it! The same happens on the mats. Let me share with you a short story from yesterday's comp class. Our coach made a warm up, it's first few minutes, we knew it was going to be a juicy one. I love it! Anyway, he asked everyone to do a simple task that 100% of the room was capable of doing: Run backwards, heels to the bum. That's it! I looked around, and I saw half of the room lifting their feet no higher than knee height! I could look at it and think "it's just a warm up"; they might be thinking "I start slow, it's just the warm up" but I applied my new filter: They're all practising cutting corners when things are easy! What it looked like to me was that they had plenty of practice already in cutting corners when things are easy. I am not judging here. They may not have done it intentionally, but that doesn't matter. Practice makes permanent. Next time you catch yourself doing BS behaviours that do not serve you in the moment, ask yourself: "Is this what I want to practice?" Stay Busy Getting Better👊

Folks, I want to share it with you first here. I have done a very short quiz that gives you tailored plan to your current BJJ game and challenges: https://forms.fillout.com/t/7GBoeVYcQnus It takes less than a minute to complete it, and you will get a 2 part training plan. Looking forward to hear your thoughts on it.
