#016 From Start to Struggle: The Process of Starting Jiu Jitsu - a podcast by John Smallios

Matty and John get together to talk about the early stages of jiu jitsu, and how to best organise, and think about your training right from the beginning.
Just like every game you need to know the rules first before you can play properly. Without knowing the rules, and especially when up against other beginners, you run the risk of not having fun, and getting injured, and building bad habits. 
Considering the nature of jiu jitsu, there are serious consequences if you don't do it safely. 
When you go about learning the fundamentals step by step first, you can build a complete understanding of how jiu jitsu works. When you know the mechanics of jiu jitsu, you can do it better, and you can use the art everywhere else in your life. 
It's how you can play jiu jitsu, and build a good path to ongoing finesse and quality of life on the mats and off.
