You're in the gym and sometimes if you have somebody in front of you that you feel like he's not catching up with your level, you give him an advantage.
I'm like, okay, let me start on the back.
Start on this position.
You give him an advantage so he can challenge you more.
You know what you're doing.
You know why you're doing that.
That takes a healthy control of your ego.
You see a guy that is a good wrestler, a good jujitsu, but has...
very bad striking, you know that you always start on a stand up, you always start up, and then he might not be able to take you down.
I'm like, okay, let's go.
Let's start on the ground.
Step on me.
Half guard, full guard, stuff like that.
Because you know that you want to work that position.
You're taking advantage on him.
But some people are there to prove that, oh, I'm something.
They're competing instead of training.
They're competing.
And they don't usually gain more on that.
