“How many times does one need to be submitted to reach black belt?” I find power in that question.
Experience from the past studying various disciplines, skills and systems taught me the problem of asking a more common question:
“How does one get to black belt without being submitted too many times?” That’s the meaning behind ‘investing in loss’ (Cheng Man-ching) vs ‘success oriented mindset’ or a ‘craftsman mentality’ vs a ‘competitor mentality’, small change in the order and choice of words but large change in the way you digest your day to day.
Grappling/BJJ is an immense movement platform. Thankful for great guidance and care from my teachers in Berlin and in Tel Aviv.

I always study the same subject....movement even when I’m taught something else, that’s the only way I can see, think and do so I’m truly grateful for such an opportunity to examine my ideas and concepts inside such a scenario.

I’ve been saying it for years now: hanging is potent medicine for the modern human physique.

With tens of thousands of participants in our hanging challenge issued years ago, to this day we receive thank you letters of people who had shoulder surgery scheduled but ended up avoiding it with a good dose of hanging work.

Yet hanging is not just therapeutic but also very important for performance and power production as the tissues from hand to feet are elongated, released and internally aligned by gravity - nature’s chiropractor.
I’ve been using hanging with athletes and top performers to help them ‘unclog’ the kinetic chain alongside other drills in a systematic way cause I believe lack of power is more often than not the result of THE PERSON HAVING ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE OTHER ON THE BREAK....it’s not always a question of getting stronger but at times - releasing tension from the right areas, in the right timing.
