does the inability of the average personto defend themselves make them more susceptible to fear generally in lifeand can jiu-jitsu present jiu-jitsu reduce societal fear I think is it apretty obvious answer but yeah I mean obviously if you can defend yourselfit's gonna give you more confidence in the world
and if you don't know how todissent defend yourself you're gonna have more fear in the world that's justthe way it is and I know that jiu-jitsu definitely gave me a lot of confidencein the world because when you're looking at someone you you at least know you'renot a pushover
at a minimum you know I'm not gonna go out easily so yeah I thinkif you don't know how to defend yourself at all I think you're definitely gonnabe more susceptible to fear that's kind of common sense and also the the thingwith not knowing when you don't know about
things you you are more scared ofthem human confrontations cuz you're on them on the Jitsu mat you're inconfrontations all the time and if you do in a case you know occasionally youshould put on boxing gloves and box and even strike during jujitsu you should dothat stuff so you
recognize what it's like to be in a fight and then you haveyou'll be less afraid of the unknown cuz it's known we're always afraid of theunknown well now this is known now the other thing is the better you are withjujitsu and the better you are at fighting the
less apt they're lesslikely you are to have to use it because because people will know that you by theway you're acting that you're probably not person that should be messed withand the other thing is I think when people actually know how to fight theyput up less of a
front about who they are about trying to act like a tough guybecause hey man I'm feeling pretty good you know I got aproblem saying hi to you I mean I can I can say hi to you in the street like heyhow's it going no big deal I'm not
feeling like you're gonna take advantageof me now cuz I know how to fight so a lot of jiu-jitsu guys are super niceguys you know because they're not trying to prove how tough they are cuz youactually know how tough they are so I think that's pretty obvious youknow that's
the the many benefits of jiu-jitsu from a personal level then asfar as societal fear I would also say yes it's it's helpful because if you canhandle yourself on a personal level right then you can handle yourself inother dynamic situations and you're more aware of things and you are
better atstaying calm right dude it to teach you how to stay calm oh yeah you getting abad situation if you panic you're going down so and you get input bad situationsall the time so you get used to it you realize that you need to detach and youneed to
get out of your head and can't panic and can't get claustrophobic youused to get claustrophobic and you don't really get cost Republic too muchanymore allegedly straight up and and also with jiu-jitsu and you know mixedmartial arts training boxing Muay Thai wrestling you overcome adversity youknow you overcome adversity
you have to and so when you know how to overcomeadversity on the mat or in the cage or in the ring that's gonna help you inreal life overcome adversity so I think that those are real simple reasons whythis is good if you didn't think I thought you just
as good I do think it'sgood something is good for good for everyone and really there's a lot ofmartial arts you could put in there I'm talking about jiu-jitsu but it's thesame with boxing it's the same with with Muay Thai it's the same with wrestlingit's the same with judo
sometimes I forget to mention judo I shouldn't judois also very effective martial art so I think all those things are very helpfulfor personal overcoming personal fear and giving people confidence and they'rethereby overcoming societal fears as well yeah is it this kind of a sign outwith with the G
with Jiu Jitsu force let's say and this more applies to thisconcept kind of has been coming up recently where you know your first dayin jujitsu where you I think you and me and kind of our time where we startedyou just – we didn't look at it in terms
of like playing God I didn't you knowyou started digit 2 in 1992 I'm just sayingfrom 92 all the way to about I don't know I don't know the date but I'msaying if you like old-school jujitsu where you probably started YouTubebecause of heights Gracie if you're one of these
people one of us that's why Istarted boys Gracie won UFC 104 we looked at jiu-jitsu as okay if I get ina fight with someone I want to be able to win the fight even if he's biggerthan me it wasn't because I want to be the next world champion
you knowconcerned about how to effectively hold you know the most points are points inthis yeah or when I pull guard like the coolest like flip move I can do orwhatever and I'm not saying like that's what it is and I'm not saying that butthere that is in the
game now so sometime as a result of this sometimesyou can go with no jiu-jitsu experience you don't know about choice Gracienecessarily you haven't you know that isn't what compelled you did you learnjujitsu you just hear great things like you know from chaco or whoever andyou're like hey I
want to go learn jujitsu this is the best fighting thingaccording stuck I'm gonna go see I'm gonna go see what up and then they go inthere and then let's say the first day they'll learn you know just an armlockfrom the bottom or you know something that if you
don't go in with the fullcontext of what jiu-jitsu is it won't translate you know you'll learn a moveand you'll be like wait how am I gonna go in a fight now you know it's likecool that's a cool move it's kind of like you know that hey let me
show youwhen your kid let me show you this finger lock you're like that's cool buthow are you gonna get my finger exactly you know like all this day just doesn'tapply to a fight so so just to answer I just did a little like tinyinstructional thing for some people
that hadn't trained before and it was supporta charity and so it's all good but you know these people never done judgesbefore and I taught them you know the mountain escape right and immediatelyyou know one of the guys hey you know what happens when they do this becausehe's doing
this right here okay so bring it back in everyone it and basically youknow after this happened a couple times I said here's the deal I'm teaching youa new language yeah so far I've taught you the word the right that's the onlyword I've taught you the yeah I haven't
even taught you I because that wouldthat would be a context of self awareness which you don't haveyou only know the that's it that's it that's all you know and actually Ishould have you guys should have said I just taught you the word purple yeahbecause you can't LA actually
can apply to different this when you just learnone thing it's it's not meaningless but it's only it's almost if you walk into aforeign country and the only word you knew how to say was purple in theirlanguage it's not gonna get you very far at allright it's not know
and that's the same thing so you're right in the context oflike a singular move jiu-jitsu is worthless right now when I learned fivemoves and knew the rear naked choke the arm walk the Chimaera and no one elseknew anything when you can say five different words in a world
where no onecan speak yeah you have power then that's the way it used to be now it'snot like that anymore everybody everybody watches UFC everywatches UFC and so they everyone's seen an armlock before everyone's seen a rearnaked choke thing you can watch a you rear naked choke and
see that's a simplemove you can see how you put that on somebody mm-hmm so yes you are correctbut if you got it you got to do more than just the context of like a singularmove because that's gonna be very useful to you yeah so when you all right
Iremember watching UFC and there was a guy who would commentate right kind of anerdy guy but he he kind of knew apparently he took jujitsu so he wouldkind of call it he'd be like okay so now it's Gracie he wants to get on top rightnow stops his position
he can't get the takedown so now he's pulling guard kindof thing and then or he'll be like okay he's establishing position with a mountand he's gonna he's gonna punch him until he turns over and then he's gonnachoke him and he's calling it and he does it right so
I remember thinkingokay that mount position very it's very powerful or if he's on the bottom youwant guard kind of thing he can see you know cuz he can't explain so when Ifirst started jujitsu like an actual class I knew what guard was I knew whatmount was I knew
those positions and why they're important where you know like ifyou're if someone's mounted on you where voice Gracie would always be mounted onthe person it's like it's really hard to get out he's gonna struggle and and ifyou turn over you're even worse situation you know so I kind
of knewthat so I knew the actual context and a lot of people when they go in jujitsujust because they here about how cool it is they don'thave that that that foundation going in so I think man I think that I don't knowif they'd ask for it or what
but I think when when instructors when a new persona brand new person don't know zero days ago due to if they teach that like thisis the mount this is why it's important you know just like how you did at themuster where you know yeah I can you know
I can hit you you can hit just likethat and then that'll provide content and then at the end how you taught amove you know a submission or whatever then it's like okay in mount this is oneof the many things you can do and this icon and by the
way when I say many Imean infinite yes yeah so yeah I think that if you and I guess this goes out tolike anyone who goes into their jiu-jitsu class and learned it justhappened to be on the day where you learn like some kind of arbitrary movegiven the fact
that you don't know the foundation it with the foundation anymove is gonna make a lot more sense as long as you have that foundation theimportant somehow importance of guard there worked in some you know all theseother things now of course we all want to learn the submission what
schoolsubmission what can I get this guy in who wants to fight me this guy yeahanother thing that people asked is you know well there he keeps pulling my handaway I go yeah it's a fight you're fighting another person it's not justwho's not magic I saved you dude's is
magic but it's notmagic it's not magic it's actually it's a white the person's gonna resist youhave to have moves yeah I didn't it doesn't turn into magic until you haveit all together yeah then it turns into magic and then you bestow it uponsomeone who doesn't know this little
guy George he's a purple belt I was whitebelt and man he's he's the one who taught me butterfly guard he was smalltoo and he would flying me around doing butterfly guard sweeps and like straightarm locks and stuff like from the bottom they're like bro what is this guy
domagic yeah and one time he's like someone out while we're you know howlike when you're rolling you can kind of talk to people while you're rolling youknow especially if you're rolling with a guy who's advanced as well because youdon't have to focus on what you're doing kind of
thingso this was an introduction of that concept where I'm rolling with Georgehe's carrying on a conversation this guy inappropriate like it wasn't that it wassomeone was asking him like hey like how do you how did you do that kind of thinghe like well this is what he's doing
andwhile we're rolling he's kind of commentating his rolling and he's likeso and this sets up the sweep which I'm about to get him within it yeah and hegets me with the sweep and that's a small that's why it is that's why it iskind of magic magic because like
when if I could make this coin disappearif I could actually do that that would be magic if I can take your arm againstyour will and straighten it out and there's nothing you can do to stop ityeah it's kind of magic too yeah I mean that is what magic
is the right one whenyou make make it appear it's like illusion right were you a milling aboutI'm talking about actual yeah actual magic yeah yes they don't know when theydon't know how you did that so it's similar to that making the coindisappear but it really just went behind
yeah knuckle or whatever impossible ohwait you like duty-bound Gail let me see how you did that yeah watch this do itagain do it again I still don't got it do it it to me getit to you
