Training Partners: Good vs Bad

A Gracie Barra facility is not a slugfest arena or school yard. You’re in a professional training environment. You’re not trying to win; you’re striving to learn. The goal is not to compete with each other but to complement each other’s development. Proceed at a pace that is slow enough to ensure excellent form and everyone’s safety. Speed comes from repetition so you don’t have to artificially force it. Go too fast and you risk sacrificing proper execution which just means you develop bad habits really quickly.

Have something to add? Drop in to our forums and share your thoughts….we want to know!

Quote of the week:
