So is it safe to say no on on here has counted a single tech 10,000 times?

I don't think anyone has counted it yet.

I think that's safe to say. I think I'm going to do this. One transition 10,000 hours.

If it takes you an average of 2 minutes to drill that technique and you drill it for a solid hour with no breaks. Did this over a certain time span, that's 30 reps an hour, you would actually have 300,000 reps of one technique after 10,000 hours. Which would probably make you pretty fucking unstoppable with that technique.

And I mindlessly rep till the tech ceases to fail me and reveals its hidden secrets somewhere along the way.

I don't really care how accurate it is, but I love this golden number. The real question is 'would 10,000 licks get to the center of a tootsie pop?'( no sucking!)

100 reps per hour 5 days a week, 20 days per month, close to 5 months for 10000?

Easy

just cos no one has said it yet. great thread.

i agree that it would be awesome to do one technique 10,000 times, i think you shouuld get a certificate or something. but i agree with what was said earlier that it shouldnt just be on technique it should be an idea, or a group of the same techniques or a path of techniques.

im saying this for two main reasons.

1. doing a path of techniques means you can do mroe techniques in a quicker amount of time. this means that instead of doing 1 technique which will take 2 minutes, you can do 5 techniques in 4 minutes. this means that in an hour you get 5 techniques done 15 times each which is a total of 75 techniques instead of 30 techniques. and this would add up after a while. (the numbers would vary and etc but still works out right)

2. doing one technique means, atleast to me, that you are focusing on one way into it. for instance if i work on my armbars. i will be doing a bunch of different entries and submission switches off it. so when im finished with my ten thousand reps or whatever it means i know armbars from practically everywhere and get them on practically anyone. 10,000 reps on basic armbar from guard, 10,000 reps on spiderweb armbar, etc.

my second point seems pretty unreasonable when you think how much time that would be. you would be 80 years old and all you could would be armbars. i mean no one could stop you but is one technique really what jiu jitsu is about? not that ive really gotten into judo much but ive always found that judo is good for basic techniques and repping the crap out of them while jiu jitsu is more complicated and is based around quantity of moves ( or variety) as well as quality. the whole idea of finding a move that ur opponent doesnt know how to counter etc.

i personally disagree with 10,000 reps. i agree that doing 10,000reps will mean u own that move but i think that you can do a lot less than 10,000 reps and still be a beast with it. and thats jsut generalised, so its excluding those freak athletes that do something once or twice and have it perfect.

i agree with (forgot who posted it, sam maybe?) saying that 3000 reps is a good level. if i do anythign 3000 times and still dont know how to do it properly, then im doing something wrong.

I think I saw one of the Adamson Bros from Seaside Oregon had a youth student count 10,000 reps on one technique.

I wonder how people would feel if I picked one technique to drill for the next 5 months in my 6 weekly practices.

5, 3 minute rounds for low singles. 10,000 hours here I come

I will drill 10,000 sprawl counters and hip outs just to counter the low single, just to troll your efforts. :)

It's going to take you 167 years to complete if you do one set of 5x3 minute rounds. 15min = .25 hours x 5days x 4 weeks a month= 5 hours, 10,000/5 = 2000months /12years = 167 years...I think.

Thats ok. Id rather have to figure out the puzzle than have people just falling over :)

Im a peacock you gotta let me fly MDJ! You're not counting in the fact that I'm training 8-10 a week with the start of this 5:30 class. And I'll bump up from 15 minutes to as long as someone will stay to let me get the reps. Can I count solo low single shots into my counter (I'm going to anyways!)? I can do those in my garage till my family wakes up.

If I can get in 2 hours a day, 7 days a week Ill have it reached within 13 years!

Might be quicker to do 10,000 reps lol

Got a technique in mind?

Alright I decided to just go with 10,000 reps rather than hours. 2 hours a day on one technique isn't plausible for me right now.

I just do Lockdown. Next year I'm adding guard passes, and Rubber guard. But I love prison guard. *help*
It's like eating candy, you want everything at once.
I'm on sick leave now, the oil at the Wok parlor has been killing my lungs. I'm ready to start school again, and I can hit the gym every day! :)

that oil can mess you up.

Awesome thread, I like the idea of 10,000 reps. I think it is the pursuit of 10,000 reps where you learn to become a real ninja with a certain technique.

Some people will learn things more quickly than others, if you stay focused and disciplined in your studies and drill a lot, with the idea that you want to hit 10,000, then you are getting the point. The way I interpret it is that the pursuit of excellence is a life long event with non stop practice and continued growth.

If you just develop these kind of habits in Jiu Jitsu they will spill over into your personal life. I will never stop drilling, the by product is only limitless future with limitless potential.
