1:PRECISION This is all about the details, and in general mostly productive in a one on one situation where you have someone that can guide you through and correct errors in that exact moment. It’s focused, kinda tiring, very slow, and headache inducing. In training for precision you need to know every single inch of the movement, not a basic understanding but an all encompassing understanding of what is going on. When focused on precision, you will spend more time thinking than moving and therefore will not be able to get as many repetitions in.

2:REPETITION This is all about moving. “big picture” movements but takes time and energy. physically demanding. In this you get a feel for the movement. After 75-100 reps or so you will begin to understand more details than if you do just 25-50. But the key is you gotta do a lot! As you do 100, 200, 300, 500, you will begin to gradually understand the subtle details. Much like when you drill for precision, the details will begin to make sense. It’s important to realize that many many many repetitions are required.

BOTH have to do with the following: By drilling you build your jiujitsu circuitry, also known scientifically as myelination. (look it up) This takes time, focus, and perspiration. In the beginning, it doesn’t need to be 100% accurate either. JUST GET THE REPS IN. Your body will gradually learn how to move more efficiently as you build up the numbers in repetition. So, less talking more doing!

The book “The Talent Code” Greatness isn’t born. It’s grown. Here’s how. by Daniel Coyle talks in detail about the how this takes place. The book explains how the process of learning and developing talent is all about circuit building and how the body created efficiency in it’s electric circuitry. The book does an exceptional job bridging the scientific explanation to applied situations, by looking at professionals and experts in the field of music, sports, coaching, teaching, and more.
