This week, we're joined again by Tum Energia! In this episode, we explain the real challenge facing grapplers today: not finding good technique, but filtering through way too much of it. Tum breaks down how concepts and mechanical cues beat memorizing techniques, and why simple games like "dirty feet" build better jiu-jitsu than drilling the latest viral submission.Follow Tum on Instagram:https://instagram.com/tumenergiaSubscribe to Energia Martial Arts on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@EnergiaMartialArtsTrain with Tum at Energia Martial Arts in Nijmegen, Netherlands:https://energia-martialarts.comMental models discussed in this episode:Concepts Over Techniqueshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/concepts-over-techniquesHick's Lawhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/hicks-lawCognitive Loadhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/cognitive-loadEcological Dynamicshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/ecological-dynamicsInside Channel Controlhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/inside-channel-controlKuzushihttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/kuzushiTheory of Alignmenthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/theory-of-alignmentExternal Cueshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/external-cuesAbundance Paradoxhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/abundance-paradoxRed Queen Effecthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/red-queen-effect⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of jiu-jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!
