How often do you experiment with new (or, simply, unfamiliar) techniques, setups, and sequences in Jiu-Jitsu?
In other words: how often do you work on being creative in BJJ?
Well, Brian Glick believes that you need to become familiar with skills outside of your already established area of expertise.
He explains why:
A big part of that is technical learning and understanding the moves that make up your area of inquiry – the gripping for your takedowns, footwork for your counters or leg positioning for your leg locks.
An equally large part is putting that work into practice with CREATIVITY in the moment.
That’s the real-life activity, experimentation and interactions that bring life to what you’re learning.
It’s what will bring you closer to the art that constitutes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu…
So you won’t stay tied “just” to the sports aspect of it all:
If you can dedicate some time to what MIGHT work, you’ll come across those elements and ingredients that you need in order to improve your efforts.
Developing creativity is more than just increasing your risk-taking – it’s about making room for curiosity so you can balance the science with the art.
