柔术形而上学（2023/3/22）

在结束之前是不会结束的： 在柔术中，有很多时候你的对手会进入到得分/降服的位置。你的防守越有层次，你就会做得越好。最优秀的运动员在看似无望的情况下，仍能找到出路，并重新开始进攻。如果你能做到这一点，那么将对你的对手的心理产生巨大的影响。在柔术中，没有什么感觉比拿到好位置并处于胜利的边缘时，而被一个熟练的对手反杀更糟糕。做到这一点大部分依靠知识/技能，但不可否认的是，其中一些是心理因素，因为你必须在危机情况下保持冷静的头脑。你不希望你的第一次经历发生在比赛中--确保你经常在馆里与有分寸的伙伴一起练习，这样你就可以在开始时不被降服，并随着你技能的提高而增强强度。如果你能将坚持足够长的时间，你就能在体能上耗尽对手，并用他们自己喜欢的动作在精神上击垮他们--这才是高手所为。

It ain’t over until it’s over: There are many times in jiu jitsu when your opponent will get into scoring/submission positions on you. The more layered your defensive abilities the better you will do. The best athletes can be taken all the way into what appears to be hopeless situations and still navigate their way out and get back on the attack. If you can do this it will have a crushing effect on your opponents psyche. There are few feeling in jiu jitsu worse than getting to your best position and being on the cusp of victory and having a skilled opponent finagle his way out and immediately counter attack. The majority of your ability to do this is knowledge/skill, but undeniably some of it is psychological as you have to keep a calm mind under crises situations. You don’t want your first experience of this to occur in competition - make sure you practice it regularly in the gym with partners who can turn the heat down so that you can start without getting crushed and build intensity as your skill rises. If you can prolong scramble long enough you can exhaust opponents physically and break them mentally with their own favorite moves - this is high level Jiu jitsu indeed
