On Craig Jones and inherited structures
Regardless of your opinion of him as a person, there is no denying that Craig Jones is changing the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I find the approach compelling: "Here's how you've been taught to do the sport. Here are better ways to achieve the same goals that had not been considered because they weren't part of the teaching lineage." I love the idea of looking at the current paradigm with all its own internal structures, rules, and tribal expectations, and dismantling those expectations to achieve goals in a brand new way. It's a pattern I am drawn to — in BJJ, in product, in how I want to build Syscribe. Inherited structures aren't the same as good structures.
