Does this read to anybody else like it was written by gpt? Super repetitive with awkward organization and prosy style.
Yes, the article is pure noise. There's nothing there beyond the title, which seems to be what most of the commenters want to talk about.
"Pants on fire" startups would do well to learn from this... a whole lot less stress and better results vs. slamming out midnight patches.

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.
I can tell you it’s a real thing because it happened to me. 6’3” and at that time (19 or 20) was probably right around that 180lbs - no one would have described me as muscular back then though, just skinny more like it. Anyways, first day of training, the first thing the instructor did was assume I needed humble pie. Told me he wanted to see my baseline, said get in the cage, and called over the only female in the cl…
The mythos of jiu-jitsu is so much bigger than the reality. I say that with all the love and respect of someone who trains!
Size matters. Despite what the brochure says.
Each belt is worth about 10-20 pounds of weight. At brown belt, sure, maybe she can beat up a completely untrained 180-pound guy, but with 3 months of training the math changes.
I'm not saying "It isn't real" in an absolute "it never happens" sort of way. I'm saying that it's not true for 90% of the real-world use cases out there. People should train to be aware of their limits and to be fit and capable. But anyone thinking a 140-pound woman is going to terrorize some 200+ pound weight lifter is delusional and hasn't trained before.

> I routinely get beaten by small women because I’m not a spazoid and I want my training partners to enjoy training with me. This is not the kind of thing I’m talking about. Of course we all regularly get “beaten” by people with less skill and who are smaller, or bigger, or anything else - but I’m not talking about training with a partner or letting them practice a technique during a roll. I’m talking about people th…
My point was that it's largely mythos. Not that it _never_ happens, but by and large weight matters even in untrained vs trained individuals.

Just watched a video[0] and yeah, why? I’ve dislocated my shoulder far too many times to have any interest whatsoever in this lmao But - it being explosive makes perfect sense, but what does it work that deadlift or squats alone don’t? Or is the point the explosiveness? [0] https://youtu.be/UBc5N_-xdqo
To answer an aspect of your question that other commenters haven't addressed, the snatch works hip and shoulder mobility in a way that deadlifting and squats do not. The barbell is driven by the explosive hip hinge (unhinge?) directly up, so it is a departure from deadlift even if it looks like it would train the same muscles. Training your snatch lift in a non-competitive sense really exposes imbalances the lifter h…

Operation Neptune Spear would like to have a word. Pretty much all combat missions of the Seals are slammed out midnight patches.
Unmatched firearms handling -- that's where the 'smooth is fast' comes from -- but operational planning is a different story.

But it looks like pro-military agi-prop, standard spec-ops worship stuff.
