Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It doesn't have to be super fast because your opponent's not moving super fast.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

So it's a combination of moving between you and him.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

I think judo is a bit more explosive.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

The moves are slightly faster, so it does require a bit more explosiveness in judo.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Yeah, it's not that the speed is not going to count that much.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It's the timing that you initiate that move.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It's that precise moment of movement that you get caught.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It's that one split second.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

That's it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Not really, because then it's points.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

You get like two points.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Because I think regarding the submission, it's not just one precise movement that changes everything.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

I think judo is the takedown that counts as a submission.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Like Ippon, fight over.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Jiu-Jitsu don't have that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

So you will score points.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

But I think in terms of submission, you need to get to a dominant position first.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

And then the submission will come slowly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It's a process.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

I mean, I'm not going to say that I'm fearless because everybody fears something.
