Sharing how the 'Foundational Four' apply to everything, even being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) white belt

Being a white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is tough, but rewarding.  In this episode I share key objectives I try to remember every class and every roll.  I talk about the organization I consider that includes my instructors and classmates. I share the key resources and equipment new BJJ players should consider and provide my view on the importance of being grateful to the instructors and class mates that make us better BJJ practitioners.

* S.M.A.R.T. Objectives

* Keep elbows in throughout the roll

* Make frames as often as possible

* Keep your neck protected at all times

* Expect to lose often and learn from it

* Collaborative Org Chart

* Command/Sponsor: BJJ Instructor(s)

* Liaison Officers/Tech Experts: Higher belts

* Resource Coordination

* Clean uniform and belt (Google how to tie it)

* Brace for previous injuries, e.g. ankle, knee, etc.

* Mouth guard for rolling (as desired)

* Flip flops or sandals are a must (No bathroom feet on the mat please)

* Connective Communication

* Sign into class to keep record of your training

* Greet instructors and classmates

* Introduce yourself before drills and rolling

* The international hand clap and fist bump is a must

* Be thankful to the instructors and your partners for their shared knowledge

Should out to Stuart Cooper Films (@stucooperfilms) for sharing great BJJ stories in his YouTube movies.

Godspeed everyone,

Kevin

'Surviving as a BJJ White Belt' has objectives, organization, resources, and communication tools to survive as a BJJ White Belt.

I'm a comic book nerd.  I'm also a process and efficiency nerd.  Why not put them together? In this episode I share how I could use the foundational four of establishing objectives, putting together a shared organizational chart, coordinating the right resources and setting a strong communication framework can be applied to the hypothetical task of creating a superhero team.

* Creating a Superhero Group

* S.M.A.R.T. Objectives

* Build a balanced team of heroes to protect the United States (sorry world) 24/7

* Establish activation protocols prior to the team's first deployment

* Create a hero indoctrination program before team launch

* Organizational Chart

* Command/Sponsor: Experienced leader e.g. Captain America or Batman

* Strategist: Someone to keep the team organized and within scope, e.g. Alan Quartermaine, Sgt. Rock, Nick Fury

* Tank: Someone that can take punishment and lead from the front, e.g. Hulk, Thing, Colossus

* Magic: Covers the unknowns and helps protect against evil magic, e.g. Scarlett Witch, John Constantine

* Speedster:  Someone to provide situational awareness for the team, e.g. Flash or Quicksilver

* Technologist: Have to have access to systems, information and can assist with communication, e.g. Iron Man or Cyborg

* Resources

* Need a base with solid defenses and information sharing capabilities

* Need a mode of travel for non-flyers and teleporters

* Need resupply for each hero's custom equipment

* Want a written delegation of authority, e.g. CYA document for the team

* Communications

* Optimally a telepath to connect the team without technology

* Communicator cards

* Globally connected ear pieces

That's how I would do it following the foundational four key elements of planning and response.  Thanks for reading this fun exercise and please give me feedback on what you think would work in a team.
