Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

That's where, you know, all the pros go in.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

So I tend to do more open rounds there.

#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

And then we have a 7pm class as well, which is more hobbyist.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

And that's where I'll do my positional rounds and, you know, force myself to be put in bad positions.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

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.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

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.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

It's definitely the one that's hit the most and the highest level of competition.

#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Who's in the basement?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

I think ego is a big motivator.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

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.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

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.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Yeah, one guy I could think of in particular is Jason Rau.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

He trains up in Long Island, I think, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Opened up his own gym out there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Vanguard.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Yeah, Vanguard.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

He used to compete, but he would never be able to compete at the same level he would train at.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

So now he's just focused on mainly opening up a gym and training.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan
