Jocko man you probably might never read this but I have to say thank you. I recently went through some things that I normally would react a certain way to but I’ve been listening to your podcasts for awhile now and it’s like I can step out side of (said) problem and analyze a situation more appropriately and I feel like it’s helped me in how I deal with certain things like this one issue more effectively. Guess what I’m trying to say is your podcasts has helped me make better decisions, analyze things better. I feel like there’s a lot of Gurus and self help people out there and people screaming at the top of there lungs and that’s great as they have there place in the world too but, listening to you has helped me in my day to day life as your not yelling and screaming your talking to motivate your audience which for myself I’m seeing can be even more effective as your approach I feel like appeals more to a persons logical mind versus feelings which is what you get with motivational speeches or podcasts. I thought I knew what discipline was but listening to you and Echo Charles, I am learning to apply a lot of you guys advice to my life and being more disciplined in the areas that I need to become a better Human.Sorry for such a long post but to you and Echo I just have to say thank you. My life is really spiraling out of control but for once I am starting to feel like I can grab the wheel and take control of the veichle which is me.Keep up the great work guys, I started listening to you guys on TH-cam and now I’m signing up to the website.Godbless you both and again thank you for all you guys do.
You have absolutely got the best attitude I think I’ve ever heard. I’ve always tried to keep an open mind and completely be humble. My friends asked me why I don’t compete anymore. I have nothing to prove I always end by saying I wouldn’t even fight a 13 year older now I don’t want to take a chance on getting hurt that’s not to say I still don’t have confidence, but it 51 years old I’ve grown by being humble. With nothing to prove, I love your attitude.
Being humble isn't about being relentlessly self denigrating. It's about knowing your actual place in the world. If you're the worlds greatest at something, it's OK to tell people "Hey. I'm literally the world's greatest at this thing." That's STILL being humble. But most of the time you don't know if you are or not. Or you definitely know you're not. And you act from there.
Something a older guy told me when i was a kid racing rc cars “never take advice from people eating YOUR dust, take advice from people who’s dust you’re eating” it has stuck with me the last 25 years.
Being honest about self assessment and viewing that assessment as a temporary check-in leaves you open for improvement. The numbers are constantly changing, you just have to focus on the ones you want to go up and then assess again.
That is the exact attitude I had with martial arts. I loved training with high end guys. The only difference is I played safe and defensive so I could see how they would beat my defences.
My Xperiences - Many-y years ago - I **habitually** sparred with more accomplished belts than myself - That was my preference though MOST OF TIME I WALKED AWAY LOSING AND IN PAIN. BUT I **LOVED** THE CHALLENGE! - that's also how I got better. 😉👍
Best part of jiu jitsu is u can tap and start all over. Lots of other martial arts deters many people do to the inevitably of pain. While jiu jitsu isn’t like sitting in a couch. Just the thought of being able to tap and restart makes a lot of people stick to it and get better.
Twice this week I’ve had color belts tell me I had them scared for a second and give me tips for finishing the next time. It’s not a tap but I’ll take it
that's how I learned to ski, and I'm pretty good at that one thing. not really good at most sports. but, I was humble with skiing and I took a lot of risks.
If you know you’re going to lose, then you’re guaranteed to learn a lesson, something new you didn’t know before. Losing gets such a bad name, losing is the best teacher, but for some reason, people get all up in their feelings about it. If you make a financial mistake, you know to never do it again. If you get beat up, you know how to not get beat up next time, or at least reduce the chances of it. If you lose a friend or partner, you know what not to do, or you know what to look out for next time so you never get in that situation again. I could go on…
New blue belt. I went for a triangle on my black belt instructor. What did I have to lose. Nothing. He could smash me at any time. And he was baiting it to see if I would. He WANTED me to learn and grow. Hell. I knew he could be beat me, so I might as well learn something.
Really the black belt has way more to lose, the boys would never let it slip if he got man handled by a purple belt 😂 . So it’s best to take risks to get better in that learning scenario.
Most people are not going to scrap with a ten times jiujitsu world champion and live. Maybe he meant to say they were about to roll but seriously most people never meet even a single time world champion at anything, and if they do meet one fighting the champion isn't part of their thought process 🤔🤦♂️🤣
Nothing like learning something whilst about two or getting your ass beat! Didn't they do that back in the day… Timmy, come up here and write an example on the board of the linear quadratic function coefficient to Einsteins cousin theory of gravitational principles based solely off of the molecular architecture of…. Oh, Timmy doesn't know the answer, Penguin lady tell Timmy to hold out both of his hands, she takes a yardstick, inflicting pain on Timmy's hands! That will teach him! Then again I guess it is better, then alone time elsewhere in the facility, being forced to learn some part of sex ed!
Fighting in a competition with rules is one thing, fighting on the street with no rules is completely different, so I'm guessing that he's referring to competition type things?
You can be a 73rd degree black belt in every fighting style. Goody for you, 357 hollow points wins. Dont like this guy all that much. Way to many people want to sniff a guys butt because he is an ex soldier. He was a hired killer. Not impressed 😊
Highly likely it doesn't mean what you think...in the context of this video it is realizing that the dude you are about to go in with knows things and has skills you probably don't have yet, and being open to learning from him. The other mode he describes isn't humble, it's dumb.
@@root1657 it would make more sense if the other case was you thinking that you can just overpower the more experienced guy, but the way he puts it is more like level headed vs not so level headed
The fact there is any confusion about Jocko’s message in this seconds long video tells me you got a lot of work ahead of ya brother. Good luck. Get started now.
I have an incredible amount of respect for the soldiers (serving in any army) because to offer your safety and life to protect the safety and lives of others is utterly selfless. However - can you honestly say that you agree with reasons given behind the the wars in which your employers have sent you and your friends to fight? Have you never questioned why it is always you and your colleagues doing the travelling for the fights? As i said at the start - I do not think the blame lies at your feet - but you are the guys that know what really goes on - is there any way that the puppet masters will change their tunes? Or will greed continue to rule? I have read your book - and seems like your bosses are also pretty unconcerned with making sure their own soldiers are OK.

Exactly... Thats the way you grow.... Always a student...
I love how you guys say it's not about the belts, but it's about constantly learning and improving your skills
Being positive is a sign of confidence in yourself !!
I love this mans mindset
No offense, but that’s an understatement
Growth mindset. This simple perspective can be applied to learning anything throughout life.
Yes. Thank you. Been teaching that for close to 50 yrs
That’s a sign of a secure person.
An insecure person would be at one extreme or another.
Challenging yourself by engaging others who have better skilled is a great way to improve oneself.

100% agree. If you want to take it a step further, you utilize his experience to your advantage, surprise and go for the win.

Best advice I've heard all year
Something a older guy told me when i was a kid racing rc cars “never take advice from people eating YOUR dust, take advice from people who’s dust you’re eating” it has stuck with me the last 25 years.
Amen in all of life keep an open mind and you will only benefit. But especially when rolling 😂
Having an open mind and positive attitude opens doors.
absolutely, failure and losing is the best teacher
It’s called having a safety blanket
Being honest about self assessment and viewing that assessment as a temporary check-in leaves you open for improvement. The numbers are constantly changing, you just have to focus on the ones you want to go up and then assess again.
Love this!
I hated this guy at first until i realized he was pointing out where i needed to work. It was my ego trying to protect my bad mindset. Dude is 🔥
That is the exact attitude I had with martial arts. I loved training with high end guys. The only difference is I played safe and defensive so I could see how they would beat my defences.
life lessons, from a leader.
Sure ringing the bell there, Jocko!
My Xperiences -
Many-y years ago - I **habitually** sparred with more accomplished belts than myself -
That was my preference though
MOST OF TIME I WALKED AWAY LOSING AND IN PAIN.
BUT I **LOVED** THE CHALLENGE! - that's also how I got better. 😉👍

Funny how this is,the mindset I've always had in mortal kombat and competitive video games
This is what my 11 year old is learning as a white belt.
My mind set would normally be. Pressure is on him, nobody expects me to win but that doesn't mean i won't try.
If you know you’re going to lose, then you’re guaranteed to learn a lesson, something new you didn’t know before. Losing gets such a bad name, losing is the best teacher, but for some reason, people get all up in their feelings about it. If you make a financial mistake, you know to never do it again.

Me as a purple belt: "Hey black belt....I didn't hear no bell."
New blue belt. I went for a triangle on my black belt instructor. What did I have to lose. Nothing. He could smash me at any time. And he was baiting it to see if I would. He WANTED me to learn and grow. Hell. I knew he could be beat me, so I might as well learn something.
Lol now we got dudes out there, that they're striving to get the pink belt!
correct now that's using logic to your advantage or disadvantage.
do not live in absolutes, be flexible in all things. highest mountain is in yourself.
I love it
Oldfella,signed in'n
I'd like to see you and that Mikey kid spar
Let's say zoom in on Venus with binoculars and past it see the two bodies coming around with it
They call that the goku ego.🙃🤣
You go into that fight with intentions of destroying him. Not learn something
There are hundreds of purple belts that can murder some black belts..
Can we get a Goggins bs jocko run
Im a 4 time league CHAMPION in fantasy football
Amen
And water is wet.
I mights catch him1 out of 100.
I will learn him 3 out of 1..
The educational ratio of training “up”
Is substantial.
Really the black belt has way more to lose, the boys would never let it slip if he got man handled by a purple belt 😂 . So it’s best to take risks to get better in that learning scenario.
Let's see how far I can get!
Black belt turns into brown belt when he gets hit in the mouth.
Most people are not going to scrap with a ten times jiujitsu world champion and live. Maybe he meant to say they were about to roll but seriously most people never meet even a single time world champion at anything, and if they do meet one fighting the champion isn't part of their thought process 🤔🤦♂️🤣
I just wanna learn how I lost and then do better..
Faaking A 👍🏻
What if youre the 2 time?
Win
Blood fart
No I don't lose
Bingo
💪🕶️
That’s not the meaning of humble
Nothing like learning something whilst about two or getting your ass beat!
Didn't they do that back in the day…

You can ruin a lot of shit just by ruining someone’s attitude!

Either Humble doesnt mean what I think it means, or the title is wrong.

@@SingleShotSingleTake that's not at all my point, but whatever...
