Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t have to be perfect, just on time

Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t have to be perfect, just on time. that is a great quote from the book Jiu-Jitsu university by Saulo Ribeiro. Some moves come naturally…others…not so much: I’m sure you’ve had the pleasant experience of learning a new move and everything just felt smooth and natural from the start and within a short timeframe you were applying the move successfully in sparring against good people. I’m equally sure that you’ve had the unpleasant experience of learning a new move and feeling like it’s damn near impossible for you to even demonstrate it satisfactorily forget about employ it on a fully resisting opponent. Don’t get too discouraged by this. I’ve had plenty of moves that initially felt absolutely hopeless when I first learned them. My experience was that typically persistence brought the level of these difficult-to-learn moves up to a satisfactory level. They never felt like a favorite move but they were good enough to get reactions out of opponents and lead into my favorite moves – and that’s good enough to make the struggle to learn them worthwhile! Remember – a your execution of a given move doesn’t have to be perfect to be effective. It only has to be better than your opponents ability to defend it. An imperfect move often slips past an imperfect defense
