Welcome to Open Note Grappling.
Every Tuesday morning I send out a breakdown of the best combat sports action. In less than 10 minutes you'll learn how the top fighters win and anything else fighters, martial artists, and fight fans need to know.
Two of the previous generation’s best Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitors took major steps forward in their new MMA careers this weekend. We’re going to look at their impressive techniques and explain why they’re such exciting prospects. Then, in the premium section, I’m going to give y’all a sneak peak on the next phase of this newsletter. It’s the core of why I started this project.
But before we get started I want to shout out this week’s sponsor The Rundown AI! The Rundown is a quick newsletter that teaches you how to use AI tools to make your work more efficient and effective.
AI gets a bad wrap. And that’s mostly because of the knuckledraggers bragging about how they use it to show you how to use it, etc. etc..
I use AI for research and maintaining my personal jiujitsu knowledge base. So if you want to know where to start with AI tools, I suggest clicking here or the image below to subscribe to The Rundown AI.
