That's where, you know, all the pros go in.
So I tend to do more open rounds there.
And then we have a 7pm class as well, which is more hobbyist.
And that's where I'll do my positional rounds and, you know, force myself to be put in bad positions.
So honestly, I think one big thing for me, which is something I actually started doing once B Team was formed, was filming all of your rounds and then watching it every day.
Because then you can see what specific problems you're having, and then you can base your positional rounds around those problems.
I would have to say the rear naked.
It's definitely the one that's hit the most and the highest level of competition.
Who's in the basement?
I think ego is a big motivator.
I think it's very good to have in the aspect that it will drive you to want to be one of the best in the world.
But like Nicky Rod said, you need to be able to turn it off in the training room and force yourself into bad positions where you may not be winning.
Yeah, one guy I could think of in particular is Jason Rau.
He trains up in Long Island, I think, right?
Opened up his own gym out there.
Vanguard.
Yeah, Vanguard.
He used to compete, but he would never be able to compete at the same level he would train at.
So now he's just focused on mainly opening up a gym and training.
teaching his students uh but he was a guy that was you know extremely good in the training room you know world class i still think to this day he's he's legitimately one of the best in the world uh but just doesn't compete anymore who wins in a fight a lion or a bear polar bear this is for you right no not a pole well yes it's a good question you're all your polar bear is pretty impressive no grizzly bear grizzly bear i think a grizzly bear wins
