Be honest - what’s the deeper reason you keep showing up?

This week, don’t let anyone grab your head. No cross faces, no head locks, no guillotines. Preemptively defend these things and don’t tolerate being in them for any length of time. If you get stuck and don’t know how to get out, let’s review in class.

What kind of passer are you - pressure, speed, or a mix? I mix it up but am definitely a pressure passer.

This week, get out and spend time in whatever is as close to the wilderness as you can get. Even if that just means standing on your balcony in the sunshine. Ocean would be better. Or forest. If you can’t find time this week then plan a camping trip. Those who lose touch with nature seem sad to me. We are solar panels and should absorb sunshine on as much of the surface of our bare skin as possible. Go out and get naked in the sun. ☀️

This week try to start breathing audibly before you get tired. Make this your focus. If you get submitted because you’re focused on breathing, it’s ok. Let your attention be 75% on your breath and 25% on your partner. You will not do as well but you are practicing something that will pay off later. tchew tchew tchew tchew. Have a great week of training 👊
