Being fast in specific instances isn’t the same as treating every day as a crisis. 99% of the time navy seals aren’t doing tactical operations, they are setting things up so they can do them when needed. You prepare for doing 48 hours without sleep by being fit and well rested.
This is just about having a strategy.
This is one of the first really important lessons you learn in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Everyone walks in, day one, and is dumping adrenaline everywhere they look. I mean, the person in front of you is literally engaging you in practicing murder, so I get it. Everyone starts that way. Super tense, super shallow breathing, and everyone wears themselves out in about 30-40 seconds. Of a 6 minute round. Doesn’t matter if you…
I’ve been training jiu jitsu for over 6 years now. The myth of the 130 lb woman doing anything to the is overused and not true; unless the man is being a gentleman. I routinely get beaten by small women because I’m not a spazoid and I want my training partners to enjoy training with me. But if my life was on the line, there’s no way they could tap me. Not even a chance.

Yes, but the description above has to be hyperbole. A 6.2 built athlete vs small woman...
Have you tried it? It may be one of those "you have to see it to believe it" things but I can assure you that was not hyperbole

Not that I disagree with your point, but... throwing your fight against the much smaller woman at the dojo is contractual. Weight classes exist for a reason.
Sure, and I'd agree with you if the much bigger guy could, I don't know... breathe. :) Weight classes exist because they matter amongst opponents of roughly the same skill and training level. If one person is trained and the other is not, they matter a lot less. You're not the first person to be surprised by this and challenge me on it. You also wouldn't be the first person to come to the gym, try to prove your point…

Everyone that has cooed grappled has a story like this. Part of the reason is practice, part of it is giving up before the fight even starts, but also that BJJ places constraints on matches in such a way that make physical characteristics matter less between hobbyists. BJJ–and even contact sports like MMA–don't resemble combat from any era of human history, so we might as well cut the pageantry and settle this by see…
Within the constraints of BJJ, which I agree is not full-on combat, obviously... training matters more than weight or strength, a majority of the time.
I'm not sure where the disagreement is, and you definitely win on caterpillars.

Weight classes matter between two trained opponents. Quite a bit less when one’s a newbie and the other an expert.

‘Slow is smooth, smooth is fast’ is a mantra about how to go fast . I’ve heard it in a number of contexts - racing drivers use it, so do woodworkers, so do musicians. None of the people using it are trying to tell you to not try to get things done fast . Speed is still the goal, it’s just about the approach you take in how you act moment to moment, while trying to get things done fast.
Doing it once correctly is faster than doing it two (or more times) incorrectly. And when you try to go fast, it's usually by being incorrect and hoping that it won't matter this one time.
SpaceX would be one example of this.

Jiu Jitsu practitioners have incredible conditioning from repeating that exact same story of {guy who thought he was tough} being defeated by {unlikely protagonist} in any scenario they can shoehorn it into, with extreme enthusiasm
