Of course, I get thrown and submitted an awful lot (and gas out even more) - but isn't that the point of rough-and-tumble play? I.e., to push oneself and accept both success and defeat, but ultimately to learn, get better and get stronger (and, ok - earn ice cream!)?<br /><br />In any case - I like the idea of constant attacking (I might have to start with a 5-second rule) - I'll have to see if I can convince my black belt and senior brown belt to whack me when I don't attack!!!<br /><br />@Dr.AnnMarie - good luck with waiting for the book to come out - my one experience was maddening (especially after all the formatting pain) so that by the time the book came out, it really didn't seem like my work anymore (but that was an academic press). Regardless - it's on my Xmas wish list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941056501900889444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-63307978764192510982012-11-20T21:51:02.539-08:002012-11-20T21:51:02.539-08:00If your point is to win matches, then you need to ...If your point is to win matches, then you need to attack. <br /><br />If your objective is to roll around and lose some weight, which is a FINE objective, then relaxing and surviving is a fine attitude to take.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-68281399359147310462012-11-20T00:10:34.934-08:002012-11-20T00:10:34.934-08:00If you are physically and athletically superior. Y...If you are physically and athletically superior. Yes it might be a good advice to always attack. But as you grow older and weaker, or you are fighting a much stronger, more skilled and more athletic opponent; relaxing, conserving energy and surviving I think is the key. This is what I currently believe as a Gracie Jiu Jitsu student which I learned from the ideas of Ryron Gracie's Keepitplayful dot com.Fitzhttp://www.fanscreenplay.comnoreply@blogger.com
