What are triggers for having that chemical change? And then also, how can I train so that, I have the experience of more frames than my opponent.

So if you're training jujitsu with most people, they're always finding a position and holding it.

Marcelo, one of the unique things about his training life for most of his life was that he never held positions. He was always moving, he was always in the in between. And it's true in most arts is that people think that the art is the positions that they see, but the real high level art is the space in between the positions.

So if we have this position leads to this position, that's going to be like, there's going to be no frames in between for most people. For some people that might be four frames, but if I have a hundred frames, then I can play in pockets that you don't see. And so if you're living your life in the training process in the in-between, in the transition.

If you're always, the way that manifests in the actual, like, for example, jujitsu training or submission grappling training is if you're not holding positions, you're always moving and you're spending all of your time in the in-between while people who are holding position are always static. So if you go to a jujitsu school and you sit and watch, it's interesting to look for this one thing.

Notice the amount of time static versus in motion. Marcelo was always in motion. There's a beautiful clip of him that you got, people can look up. It's in Arte Suave. It was an old documentary back in the day. like 25 years ago, I think it was, it's on YouTube. It's like an eight minute clip of him training as an, I think an 18 year old.

And you watch him just like in the early days of him learning this transitional approach. And he's just never stopping. He's always allowing the person, but you have to get past the egoic dynamics. Cause you can't, you're like, you're giving up on dominating people all the time. Cause when you're in a dominant position in jujitsu, you want to hold it cause you've won.

And there's all this bullshit passing between men who are fighting or women who are fighting each other. We want to dominate, but, If you release that and you're thinking about the learning process and you stop holding, then you're moving and you're getting nonstop exposure to the in-between. So if you spend your life training in the in-between, then you have more frames than other people do.
