This week, we're joined again by Jake O'Driscoll from Essence BJJ! In this episode, Jake explains how high-level grapplers like Adele Fornarino and Brianna Ste-Marie actually study Jiu-Jitsu. Topics include: practical note-taking, video review, effortful retrieval, individualized learning, filtering signal from noise, adapting study habits to different personalities, and using training footage to improve decision-making.
