Last week, Rener and Ryron Gracie posted a YouTube video that defines their revolutionary approach to teaching jiu-jitsu for its original intended purpose: self defense. In the video, they make numerous pertinent points, each of which deserving a blog post of its own.
Among the points that stood out to me was the fact that by removing sparring for the newest students, they have better prepared their students for real self defense, and at the same time have increased their enrollment and retention. Not coincidentally, they have also noticed a reduction of injuries.
Count this among the upgrades I will install at my studio.
