Hey! There's not a premium membership per se... Some people generously pledged a monthly membership... and I feel bad because I've never sent anything different to them, so I'm going to start sending them more stuff as a thank you. Next week I'm sending them unedited notes from an instructional...
My plan isn't to make the newsletter paid for everyone. It's a labor of love. I might add premium stuff more consistently, but the weekly newsletter will always be free.
This part was particularly interesting: "I was also soaking up BJJ in my spare time, watching fights and obsessing about the sport." Mainly watching matches on youtube or instructionals or what?
All of those things... And even more esoteric things like thinking about a move or a specific situation for a long time. Playing situations in your mind and trying to feel what happens and come up with options and solutions you can test later. I know this might be too esoteric for many people, but it helped me tremendously. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to do this with intense focus... specially watching fights and actually trying to feel what the fighters are feeling.
What do premium members get if they subscribe to the sub stack? Just curious
