Check Your Ego: Learn from Everyone on the Mat + A New Segment Debut (Episode 66)

from Fighters Drinking Coffee · host Scott and Mike

Hosts Scott Dance and Michael Sutherland discuss how hierarchy and ego affect learning in jiu-jitsu, and why training with everyone (even lower belts) can expand your game. They introduce practical ideas like the 50/50 split between execution and exploration, intentional rolling, and competing as an outlet for ego expression. The episode also launches a new segment, "Combat Confessions," featuring a wild Reddit open-mat story about a man who lets people choke him, plus instructions on how listeners can submit voicemails and stories via fdcpodcast.com. Practical tips for coaches, visiting other academies, asking questions, and using teaching to learn are highlighted.
