Yeah, which is, I might pivot into politics too, run against it.

Interesting character, yeah. He's the coach of the Misfits team for America. So he's putting together an American squad. So, like, I mean, I haven't gone too much into this. It's a difficult conversation to listen to, you know, people talking about different learning models in jiu-jitsu. But, yeah, I believe from my understanding he's –

thought process is that you don't need to be just doing static repetitive drilling and understand and like being taught techniques. He's sort of given the credence over to the people's ability to solve problems themselves with, through the positional sparring.

So, I mean, I don't think, I think the way, just like we do with CJR1, the way we sell is to create division and create size for people to choose on, choose to be on. And a lot of hipsters will choose to be on the unorthodox side of things. So it's like, I think basically a balance of the two is usually the best approach here.

But I believe his persistence in his argument is making people re-evaluate how they teach. So I think ultimately he's a good influence on the sport.

Yeah, I would say that most jiu-jitsu coaches aren't actually coaches. They're just instructors. They show moves. Whereas a coach would be something different. And that's something I sort of realized being involved in MMA camps is that like... A coach doesn't necessarily need to be better than the person they're training.

And jiu-jitsu has this historical thought process where the better the competitor was, they assume that he's going to be a better instructor or coach for them. And I think that's sort of like a bit of a fallacy where like some of the best guys teaching boxing, even wrestling, weren't necessarily the best competitors. But they have a great way to break things down.

John Danner would be one of the best coaches ever. no history of jujitsu competition. So I think that's a massive flaw in the sport of jujitsu. But I personally would say that like, uh, in the early stages, you need You need to understand those moves. You need to be taught those moves. And then ultimately, as we get to the higher level, I believe problem solving for yourself is much better.
