Thoughts about Jiu-Jitsu and the Universe

Lately, I’ve been carrying around a jiu-jitsu notebook. I’ve been using it to help me breakdown and understand the minute details of some of the techniques that I’ve been teaching. I’m mentioning it here because so far it has proven to be very valuable. Once when I was in the Boy Scouts, one of the camp instructors, who was actually a biology student, was drawing a praying mantis he had caught and put in a jar. He told me that if I ever wanted to really understand how something worked I should try and draw it. That’s what I’ve been doing, along with some written notes, and so far it has been very enlightening. I would suggest a notebook for those of you who are ready to move forward with truly understanding your technique.
