00:01 - When trapping arms from the back, we have to use our top leg to trap the arm which means our opponent will go into a turning escape to defend. We will need to use our arms to stop the turning escape so our legs are free to trap the arm. We can do this by either being heavy on the top shoulder or taking the bottom shoulder off the mat.

00:00 - When trying to do a knee cut to pass the guard, we are often met with a strong knee shield by the guard player. As the top player, to get around the knee shield, we can post on their shoulder and their shin as we step over their knee shield leg putting ourselves in a butterfly half guard. Then, we switch sides and shuffle our feet as we leg drag their knee shield leg. If at any time the bottom player lets their knee drift away from their chest, we can enter the smash pass position. If they are doing the right thing, keeping their knee to their chest, then we will leg drag.

02:22 - When we are attacking from the back, our top hook is what prevents our opponent's rotation toward turtle. But if that leg is used to trap the arm (as in the straight jacket system), it’s no longer stopping rotation. In order to use the straight jacket system reliably, we first need to transfer the rotational control to our arms. LIMI points out an example of how Craig uses his upper body to lift the arm and control rotation before using his legs to trap the arm, freeing up his arms to finish. Best case: control rotation with legs → transfer to arms → use legs to trap the arm → transfer rotation control back to legs (e.g., bottom side body triangle). This frees your hands to finish submissions.

02:14:25 - As a coach who is training peak performers, there is an impulse to fix weakness in the place where the error is taking place. This tends to be less effective at initiating change because the athlete is well callused over in that area and their habits are hard to break. Instead, as a coach we should try to change that habit in another area where they are not as callused as they will be more prone to change in this area. He gives the example of a poker player who has a control issue. It will be hard to address their control issue on the poker table as they have used this strategy for years with success. As the coach, it is our job to identify this theme and practice implementing that theme in aspects of the poker player's life where they are less callused. Then, they will develop habits that exemplify that theme in other aspects of their life and eventually it will make its way to the poker table. I really like this idea and plan to explore ways to implement it when teaching jiu jitsu.

01:38:20 - Josh is talking about the idea that you can teach/learn chess through chess specific language and principles. However, you can also teach/learn chess through universal language and principles that also apply to life. He says if you watch chess teachers, most of them teach in a localized manner, only speaking in chess terms. This leads to students that get good at chess but are not able to apply that same knowledge to other disciplines outside of it. He advocates for teaches to teach in more broad language and principles as it sets students up for success not only in chess but outside of it. I really like this idea and tend to explore how to apply it when teaching martial arts.
02:48:13 - Josh talks about how people have a balance between brilliance and disfunction that leads to their brilliance. This balance is often quite complicated. As a coach, it is tempting to say "I can make this person more efficient here" but this make disrupt the balance and take away from their brilliance. When you are working with people who is a top performer in their field, there is a craziness to their brilliance. As a coach, we need to be very careful to not do anything until we understand the balance and nuance of their brilliance. This means 99% of coaching is listening, observing, and not doing. Coaches often make the mistake of trying to do too much to show their value, but this intervention can often be detrimental to the performance of the high performer.
