This is the third installment of the three levels of self-awareness.
nogi bjj seems to be a new version of nogi katas (which I’ve written about before).
The nogi katas were a popular form of cardio exercise in Okinawa. They were also a popular form of self-awareness exercise, because when you were doing it, you were actually engaged in some sort of self-awareness. In the nogi bjj you’re doing it as if it’s a game. You can do so many things as if they’re a game, like making your enemies run or jump, or just sitting back and watching the blood flow down your legs.
In the nogi bjj Ive written about the nogi katas, the nogi katas are not really the same idea. This is because the nogi katas are actually a game that are played as opposed to a mental exercise. They’re supposed to make you feel as if you’re being judged by the nogi katas, but when you do things as if you’re being judged by a nogi katas you feel like they’re not you.
Thats why I like the game so much. When you play nogi bjj you can just sit back and watch as your enemies die. If you try to go too fast too soon your enemies won’t even notice you, you just kind of play it out. Or just play some nogi katas as if theyre being judged. It’s a nice mental exercise that makes you think about what youve done and how youve done it.
Personally, I think nogi katas just look stupid. They dont actually have the power to make you feel anything like Ive just given you a glimpse of what they can do. Theyre just a game. A game that can make you feel like its a game, but its not.
It’s a bit of a problem because the mental exercise can be so hard that if you’re only able to run around like a nogi katas, it starts to feel like youre just playing at a videogame, and its not really “a game.” I like to think of what I do as a sort of video game, but of course I also like to think of how I do it in my head.
This is a problem because when our minds do that stuff, we begin to think that were actually playing a videogame. When we don’t have a full picture of what we’re doing, we’re confused, it’s hard to make sense of where we are.
That’s why nogi bjj is so confusing so far and why its so hard to explain. nogi katas, or nogi bj jjj, are a Japanese martial art that is based on a simple idea, which is that you punch and kick without moving your hands. However, many people think that nogi bjj is too easy and that you have to know how to do it before you can get good at it.
Nogi isn’t as easy as it sounds. While punching and kicking is certainly simple and useful if you’re practicing for a fight, it’s also one of the most difficult moves in karate to learn. The reason for this is that nogi kata is made up of moves that look very similar but are in fact different from each other.
