Really interesting to hear Rickson talk about how leglocks (besides the straight footlock) worked their way into BJJ.
Cool to hear how much credit he and Eddie give Erik Paulson.
Does anyone teach self defense separate from Jitz? If not, do you teach self defense in Jitz and how much emphasis do you put into it in comparison and how do you incorporate it into classes?
Not separate, but usually start with it for beginners. I think you have to show people off the street jiu jitsu through a lense they can understand, which is usually clinching against strikes, or getting out of a headlock for instance.
After the basics, I think the self-defense/MMA line starts to blur. It becomes about addressing strikes.
Just my opinion.
I have to listen to this when I get off work tonight for sure
It's not up on the website yet or anything is it ? Does anyone have a link to a recording of this ?

It's the most recent video (has no title yet). The sound is only bad for the first few minutes.
Great cheers man
Yeah, thank you. Watched most of it and can't wait to watch it again when Joe adds it to YouTube. Probably my favorite podcast, period.
Fuck yeah dude
Yeah, I'm gonna sit in my basement, get stoned to the gills and listen to this one
It goes without saying, but Rickson is a dope muthafucka all the way around.
This is the greatest... Rickson, Joe and Eddie dropping gold.
Super interesting about the difference between subs/leg locks that target the joint as opposed the stretching the ligaments and how Rickson says its only only suitable for the 'advanced, brown to black' in comps.
Also interesting in Eddies experience regarding injuries at 10 where all locks are allowed from white belt. GREAT podcast.
What struck me about Rickson is he has a clearly defined personal philosophy of life. So rare to see nowadays. He knows who he is and what he is about. The final 20 minutes of the show are pure magic. Thank you Eddie for adding a ton of passion to the interview, you and Joe are quite the team.
Interesting to me to hear Eddie talk about how the most injuries came from wrestling class.
Is that because we don't spend a lot of time on breakfalls in jiu jitsu, like they do at Judo? Maybe not, because we never worked on breakfalls in middle school or high school wrestling and I don't remember that many injuries. The most guidance we got was "tuck your chin" and/or "don't post your arm out" but even that often went out the window to avoid being scored on. At the same time, injuries come a lot easier at 30 as opposed to 15.
That was awesome.

True. But its also just physics. There is a lot more momentum and inertia in wrestling/standup grappling. A body and nervous system must definitely be prepared for these forces. That takes time and conditioning that just doesn't happen for most jj students. I'm really good at getting slammed(weird talent) but had my knee destroyed by a back trip. He accelerated explosively and though I might have been out of position and tech, neither of us had time to find out.
I'm so impressed by Rickson as a human being. He seems like a very easy to talk to, open and friendly guy. His willingness to learn and open mindedness really has impressed me here. What a great podcast.
Makes sense. Good point.
I think people need to learn way more technique and do way more drilling before sparring on the feet. That, and people need to flow more. At the very least, do situational sparring based on the moves people know. When people start plugging gaps with physical attributes, and they are going hard, that is where people get hurt. On the feat or on the mat.
Yup. Positional advantage before a takedown needs to be understood. It literally took me a month to learn a descent stance that is safe and offensive. Learning to win inside position with my head, hooks, and ties was huge and slowed the entire game down for me. Win and control positions without even attempting takedowns. Then drilling the shit out of the takedowns from the dominant position before attempting them. The takedowns I see from most nonwrestlers is essentially like trying to submit someone while in their guard.
