Great post, I can relate with the ego part.

I been working on my Ankle Lock and Triangle Choke defense. I already got really good at escaping fully lock in triangles but still struggling with Ankle Locks (there's progress tho).

Deciding that I needed to improve my Ankle Lock defense was easy because I got submitted multiple times in competition with it, but for the triangle I had to eat my ego.

I usually do a good job avoiding triangles but I noticed that when I did get into one I was getting submitted always, so I started working on it and doing specific rounds. Right now I'm pretty confident on My late-stage escapes.

Powerful post with excellent reflective questions. The Art of Learning is one of my favorite books!
