First of all, great show. I have an hour and fifteen minute one-way commute and listening to your podcast keeps me locked into the Jiu-Jitsu mindset and is WAY more interesting than any of the local radio programs here in Northern Neck Virginia. I particularly enjoy the shows where the philosophies of different GJJ and BJJ schools are compared and discussed (see Rorion, Rickson, and Ryron Gracie interviews as well as the BJJ etiquette interview).

As a big guy 6’0″ (250lbs), and cut down to (230lbs) in summer, I had, and often still have, the hardest time relaxing and letting my opponent feed me indicators. While this philosophy of waiting for indicators may be particular to GJJ and not necessarily BJJ (honestly I don’t know) I wonder if this concept is more of a novice versus experienced student issue rather than a GJJ versus BJJ issue? Could you guys discuss?

Also, keep up the good work on the podcasts as they keep the mighty 600,000 thirsty for more jiu-jitsu.

Cheers,

Daniel
