Traditional Method
- Isolated Techniques taught individually. Often too advanced for the group to follow.
- Unilateral Instructions: One partner actively practices while the other receive no instructions.
- No structured opportunities to learn how to apply the techniques. Only Resistance practice.
- Resistance training with competitive mindset transforming the partner into an opponent and every training session a fight for your life.
- Unclear technique progression. Impossible to know what to expect and how to act on it.
Results - No understanding of the foundational principles, creating wrong, unwanted behaviours and many technical gaps.
- Slow learning, stressed out, survival mindset.
- Prone to injuries environment due to high resistance, competitive practices and poor technical knowledge.
- "Natural Selection" environment unsuitable for majority of the people, creating the impression that JiuJitsu is not for them.
