After having a successful showing at the Bluegrass open last
weekend, it is back to the grind stone in preparation for Worlds in a few
weeks. Training has been going well for the entire team. Focusing on structure,
connection and staying discipline. There are a lot of fancy things people are
doing, and structure and connection are the antithesis to those fancy things.
A dull blade can still cut you, but a sharp blade can sever
a limb. That truly is the difference between a good grappler and a great
grappler. At some point you will have compiled an efficient amount of technique
and only the details will separate the best from the rest. Connection, timing,
sensitivity and how sharp you are will be the deciding factor in a lot of
competition based scenarios. The right choice at the wrong time, still ends up
being the wrong choice. Sharpness will be the deciding factor in what
techniques are successful and what techniques are not.
The next week or so will be spent fine tuning everything and
getting mentally focused.
