Thoughts about Jiu-Jitsu and the Universe

Minutia

Filed Under Uncategorized

Last night I stayed after BJJ class to work on a move that I didn’t understand too well, and after exploring the move over and over again, one of my purple belts and I finally got a better understanding of it. Some people may think that the little details of a technique are minutia, trivial frivolities, but I think it’s the minutia that helps us truly understand how the technique really works.

The other thing I was reminded of was that watching is not enough, you have to feel the details. Mastery is in the movement.
