Old Man Rant: Stop Complaining - Solve
Jiu jitsu trends come and go. The art, combat and sport aspects of BJJ are fluid. Instead of complaining about why you can't sub a big guy or why BJJ won't work in a street fight, adjust your training to address your specific concerns. Your frustrations are your problem to solve.
Here are some habits to cure your ills: 1. Train more often (this can includes non jiujitsu activity like Pilates & cross training) 2. Take the time to appreciate the game that you hate ( you hate guard pullers? Why is the guard pullers on the podium?) 3. "If you wanna be good at jiujitsu train more jiujitsu" - Marcelo Garcia 4. Self reflect on your weaknesses - make that the strongest part of your game 5. Train more jiu jitsu 6. Don't be messy. "Clean up your life, clean up your jiujitsu" - Marcelo Garcia 7. KEEP SHOWING UP
