The Sin of Certainty | If you think the cost of success is too great, wait until you get the bill for regret. Real legends aren’t being studied in university laboratories, they’re busy doing epic shit. You won’t find that disclosure in any peer-reviewed journal or trendy biohacing blog.
I had a private with my black belt today and a very good friend and brown belt was my uke. We had this exact conversation. Somewhere there’s a dirty tarp on the ground in some east block country where two guys who have never heard of “spider guard” are grappling who could mop the floor with most sport Jiu-Jitsu practitioners in our country.
This is fantastic, and I’m happy to see folks starting to trust their own experiences again. Crazy how much the layperson has ceded to “experts” and devices, how they’ve learned to ignore their hard-earned instincts in favor of someone else’s opinion of what they should be doing.
Certainty as a sin is half the read. The other half is that the people most committed to being certain are usually the ones who refuse to update on new input. Saved this one.

This is a great read. I’m going to adapt @KyleShepard and go with FOFIO, for a little more rhythmic feel… ha!

This is an important piece. Thank you.
Love FOFO and the rest of this post 👊🏻
