Documentary Thursday - Roll: Jiu-Jitsu in SoCal

This has been floating around the internetz for awhile and as usual I am late to the party. If you haven't seen it yet, enjoy:

Buddy of mine (and recently turned professional MMA fighter) trains with them out in Vegas and I've only heard good things.
 

Ryan Hall Gets the Stuart Cooper Treatment

As usual, I'm late to the party, but I've been listening to more and more Ryan Hall after he was featured on Lex Fridman's Take It Uneasy podcast. 

Ryan is big about explaining the "why" behind the "how" something works.
Learning for me (and actually with the human mind) is very much associative. A rule in your mind without meaning is easily forgotten. But a rule in my mind which is supported by a "why?" becomes much easier for me to remember, understand, and recall.
Enjoy.

Path to Success: Felipe Costa

A Jiu-Jitsu competitor I definitely look up to is Felipe Costa.
He had never won a major tournament before black belt and still managed to become a black belt adult world champion.
