柔术形而上学（2023/3/17）

主动和被动。老派柔术是以被动心态为中心的，让对手占据主动，我方则利用他在动作中的错误。在长时间的比赛中，面对经验不足的对手，这种方法非常有效。在现代柔术中，比赛时间较短，对手训练有素，大家更喜欢采取主动的心态，由我方发起并将对手代入自己的节奏。事实上，使用这两种方法成为冠军的人都有很多，所以我认为不应该说一种方法在本质上优于另一种。尝试在你的比赛中学习这两种方式。当面对更大更强的对手时，被动的心态很可能更好。随着年龄的增长，采取被动往往也会得到更好的结果。如果双方在体型和技术上势均力敌时，采取主动的心态是比较好的。最终，你将需要这两种方法来提升自己，尽管你的个性很自然地决定了你喜欢哪种方法--积极强势的人通常是主动的心态，而不太自信、有耐心或相对弱势的人更喜欢采用被动的方法。因此，两者都要发展，但要认识到你可能会偏爱其中一个。不同的环境和不断增长的年龄可能会改变你的想法，你也可能要经历心态的转变。

Proactive and reactive mindsets: Traditional jiu jitsu was centered around a reactive mindset where you let an opponent take the initiative and you capitalized on mistakes he made during the match. In very long matches against less experienced opponents this works very well. In modern jiu jitsu with shorter duration and very well trained opponents there is generally a push towards a proactive mindset where you initiate and get an opponent following your lead. In truth there have been great champions using both methods, so I believe it’s wrong to try to say one approach is inherently superior to the other. Try to develop both aspects into your game. When you are matched against much bigger and stronger opponents the reactive approach may well be better. As you age the reactive approach often gets better results. The proactive is best when you are matched evenly in size and skill. Ultimately you’ll need both to fully develop your game, though it’s natural that your personality will determine which of the two you favor - aggressive confident athletes typically favor the proactive approach and less assertive, patient or Underdog mentality types typically favor the reactive approach. So develop both, but recognize that you’ll probably favor one over the other, but that different circumstances and advancing age may change your mind as to which you’d rather make use of
