“Hey Matt, my name is Jim. I purchased all 3 of your JKD series and I have to say that I am extremely shocked. I took Jiu Jitsu for years and in a nut shell “I sucked”. For years I saw BJJ as “the art of 10,000 moves”.
I was so confused. Every move I learned had a counter. Every counter I learned had a counter to that. Variation after variation. I had so much valuable instruction under my belt but I couldn’t stop my head from spinning.
It’s amazing that the basic principles escaped me. Through years of group classes and private lessons NOT ONCE was I taught the 5 simple principles on how to hold an opponent down in cross side top (just to use one example). Let me clarify, I was taught the 5 principles (along with a ton of other information) but it was never stressed that those 5 concepts were at the core of the possition.
fI realize now that my downfall was my inability to seperate the crucial basics from the advanced fluff. I say that because it is obvious that there are many people who can seperate the two (I may have sucked but my instructors also produced many champions). So I am so grateful that your style of teaching is so articulate in explaining the nuts and bolts of BJJ. I love the fact that as you teach more and more moves you always make it a point to say “remember, no matter how many variations I teach you it is only possible for your body to do A, B or C.” You level the playing field for the students who can’t figure it out on their own (the students who are blinded by the 10,000 techniques). I wish I saw your videos years ago because I actually quit jiu jitsu out of frustration that I wasn’t intelligent enough to get it. For years I thought the answer was learn more, more, more. It’s strange that the answer is to actually boil it down to learn less! Thanks so much for clarifying BJJ for me because it has been such a mystery to me for so long.”
