So I will ask you, what is gonna be unique about your gym? Um, and, like, what type of person are you trying to attract to that place?

Yeah, I mean, I've thought about this a lot, and it's really hard to, uh...

Like, it, it's easier said than done to find, like, your n- your specific niche.

But I think for me personally, it, like, I don't find that I'm particularly interested in, you know, building, like, this world-class competition team.

Like, I definitely have, like, coaching, I would say, aspirations, and I wanna, like, work with competitors.

But I don't think that, like, build, I'm gonna build the gym around building, like, a competition team, if that makes sense.

Um, I think that personally, like, you know, like, 'cause when I'm thinking about this gym, I'm thinking about a, a project that's gonna last 10, 20 years or whatever, and it's not gonna be, like, you know, I, I don't see myself being, like...

That's out

That, that, I think help you step back and take a broader view of things and see that there is progress going on.

For sure.

Because like, so if I look at my timeline, like two years before that world, even like we go back two years before that world, I took third at Blue Belt and I was super anxious and like terrible spot mentally.

The next year I didn't do worlds because I was having knee surgery and I was in a terrible place mentally.

And then the following year I was doing therapy.

I was doing like, I was like doing where I was starting to write really consistently.

And I was like, and I was training really well and competing all the time and I won worlds.

yeah like i

Is that a good place to start? Maybe talking about your revised thinking around leg lock concepts and how they all tie together.

Yeah, I think so.

I think so.

So yeah, so kind of to, I guess for people who weren't at the seminar, the way that I really thought about the, uh, ankle lock g- game for a long time was, like, different...

I, I basically had a programmed response for every movement that my partner would do and every movement that I would do.

So, like, if I would turn this way, they would go this way.

And what I kind of found was it was becoming a lot of memorization, and I wanted to kind of remo- I didn't want doing leg locks to feel like flashcards.

Am I correct there?
