So this question comes from Steven M on Facebook and it was simply about How Do We Learn BJJ?
This is a seemingly simple but complex problem. And I’m not sure I answered it perfectly in this video.
As a new Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach back in 2009 I spend a ton of time reading and digesting information on how we as humans learn.
In particular I started to study how we learn motor patterns (movement patterns), which if you break down BJJ. That’s what we do.
During the Chewy ramble I touch on a few key ideas.
– The difference between learning a BJJ technique and knowing / memorizing it.
– The process of variation to uniformity to creativity / mastery.
– The trial and error process which is absolutely essential to Brazilian Jiujitsu.
– And the addictive quality of BJJ provided by the instant feedback loop during rolling.
I hope that the video is insightful or at least entertaining.
