Avoiding Knee Surgery: Joey's Journey from Injury to Optimism

IBJJF 2024 was a controversial championship! There was a disqualification of Tainan Dalpra against Francisco Lo which was to a questionable judgement with no bad intentions involved and the position technically not illegal but was deemed a heel hook attack. This left the Gi worlds crowd with a bad vibe. Has the rule structure started to really negatively impact the game.
Could Heel Hooks save the Gi Game? This one change would significantly change the way the game is being played, worm guard would be risky, 50/50 wouldn't be safe and stalling would be deadly with new leg attacks available. This recent IBJJF World championships has highlighted the growing gap between the dynamic nature of modern No-Gi grappling and how Gi jiu-jitsu rules are just dragging the game down.

Could Heel Hooks Save Gi Grappling?

Episode 343: Are you struggling to remember what was taught in class this week? When coaches teach a different technique and concept every week, it can be hard to keep up and retain the information. BJJ as a body of knowledge is constantly growing and evolving with specialised techniques and strategies for both Gi and No-Gi grappling. JT & Joey dig deeper on what can help and hinder your learning at Jiu-Jitsu and why spending multiple sessions on one position or a sequence of attacks and defences can really help you achieve a good understanding and real learning.
Everybody learns differently but giving people more opportunity and greater exposure to skills is key, this might require a different approach to the way coaches are teaching week to week. Joey explains his recent experience having wins with his students learning back control and JT talks about how being competitive and not making mistakes can actually mess up your learning. When you struggle to remember what's being taught in class its hard to build your game and make progress, this is where you could benefit from choosing your own personal BJJ project and working on it consistently.
