Jiu Jitsu is a thematic exploration of structure (and structurelessness, of course). We dynamically organize our bodies to accomplish certain goals that lead us toward our ultimate objective within the game.

Playing in this space of structure-no structure demands a certain amount of discipline. The same skills with which we navigate this structure-no structure continuum on the mat also serve us well off the mat.

So, how do we cultivate discipline to accomplish this task? True discipline originates from within. In this episode, I explain how I relate to discipline inside and outside of Jiu Jitsu. I share this in the hopes that you will create your own system, not copy mine.

Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
