What up Flowrollers, it’s a great day to Brazilian tap to subs that were completely locked in, then keep rolling like nothin’ happened.
Last week’s poll on AI in Jiu Jitsu was an interesting one. I thought the submission ChatGPT came up with was impressive! You all were reasonably split on the impact of AI.
Flowroller Miguel made some good points about new versions of GPT starting to be able to learn from video:
I pretty much agree. The standpoint of “AI will never be able to take over my field” just gets proven wrong again and again. It’ll be pretty cool to see the strategy implications from an AI that is able to process thousands of hours of matches to see what techniques work best.
Alright let’s get to it, slap-and-bump 👊🏻
THE MAIN EVENT 🚨
Is Jiu Jitsu effective for self defense? Ah the time old question internet trolls love to debate. Over the weekend, an r/bjj blue belt shared his story of using his grappling training in a night club.
That’s one very cool thing about Jiu Jitsu; you can use it to inflict damage on your opponent, but you can also use it to control and deescalate.
I used to train a bunch of boxing. It’s pretty limiting if your only skillset is to turn someone’s head into a watermelon and hope they don’t sue you.
