In this clip from Fargo Talks, I explain why jiu jitsu is not just fighting. It is problem solving with another person’s body. Leverage. Angles. Timing. You are forced to think three, four, five steps ahead while someone is trying to stop you.
I talk about what that does to a kid’s mind. You stay active. You learn patience. You learn how to adapt when your plan fails. Every roll is different. You never get the same position twice. Even when you try, the puzzle changes.
McDojoLife explains that at higher levels, you practice putting yourself into hard positions on purpose. You work backward. You learn how to reach a goal from different starting points. That builds strategy, not panic.
This clip is about jiu jitsu, thinking under pressure, and why this sport shapes how kids learn to solve problems.
