Ep. 402: Dichotomies of Jiu-Jitsu, feat. Charles Harriott

This week, we're joined by Charles Harriott! Charles has been doing martial arts since he was four years old, and after years of traveling the world teaching seminars for BJJ Globetrotters and BJJ Fanatics, he recently opened his own gym, Lofi Dojo, in Gainesville, Florida. In this episode, Charles walks through the dichotomies of jiu-jitsu, the apparent opposites that often turn out to be sliding scales. Topics include: climbing versus leaping, gameplans versus improvisation, following the meta versus innovating, concepts versus techniques, and fun versus adversity.Train with Charles at Lofi Dojo:https://instagram.com/lofi.gnvFollow Charles on Instagram:https://instagram.com/charlesharriottSupport Charles on Patreon:https://patreon.com/charlesharriottGet Charles's instructionals on BJJ Fanatics:https://bjjfanatics.com/collections/instructional-videos/fighter_charles-harriottMental models discussed in this episode:Silver Bullet Fallacyhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/silver-bullet-fallacyCertainty Heuristichttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/certainty-heuristicPosition Over Submissionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/position-over-submissionPlaceholdershttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/placeholdersConcepts Over Techniqueshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/concepts-over-techniquesEcological Dynamicshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/ecological-dynamicsConstraints-Led Approachhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/constraints-led-approachSelf-Organizationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/self-organizationGrowth from Discomforthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/growth-from-discomfortKeep It Playfulhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/keep-it-playfulPsychological Safetyhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/psychological-safetyGamificationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/gamificationPrioritize Longevityhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/prioritize-longevity⬆️ 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!
