Thank you for coming and sharing your knowledge and humor with us all.

Mixing it up
Which of these fight styles do you think complements jiujitsu training the most for self defense? What about for sport?

I am curious about any feedback you might have on Systema. I know that Rigan Machado shares a gym with Martin Wheeler - https://www.theacademybeverlyhills.com/. There's an old video where he comments about Martin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqa7ToilOAc. Has anyone ever trained there? If so, what did you think?

Do you know this instructor? The website indicates he trained with Rickson. https://www.theacademybeverlyhills.com/instructors/menamy-tsunami-mitanes/
Lets keep each other accountable.
Here is a short segment of some breath work that Professor James walked Premium Members through. My goal is to do the breath of 🔥 everyday. Eventually I would like to build up to 3 sets but my goal to start is only a single one minute round. I'm going to comment done every day after I finish. Please comment done after you finish your breath work.
Lets keep each other accountable.

Weapons
A lone figure in all black with a hood approaches you in a dark alley. He stops 5 feet in front of you. You are unarmed and cornered. Which of these weapons feels the least dangerous to you? Against which weapons would you rather defend yourself.

Here's a "Dog Jitsu" video, in case anyone has an interest - https://youtu.be/ZuKutb7XVZ8?si=MTpCoCI0w9bknEEH .

@James Driskill Yes - the second video that is referenced (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE8IjSRouuU) literally mentions Nate Diaz using an RNC on Connor McGregor (10:38). Some other choking techniques are demonstrated beginning at about 6:21.
