Hi there! Steve Kwan here, from BJJ Mental Models. I'm excited to announce our new instructional series: Optimizing the Self, feat. Emily Kwok!
Learn peak performance strategies from a true Jiu-Jitsu pioneer.
Emily is a 3x BJJ world champion, internationally sought-after instructor, and one of the true pioneers of the sport. In this series of conversations, Emily shares her strategies for achieving peak performance and optimizing the self, which she has refined alongside black belt luminaries Marcelo Garcia and Josh Waitzkin.
Develop the peak performance mindset proven to win world championships.
In this series of lessons with Emily, you'll develop critical new skills you can deploy immediately:
Learn how to learn.
Understand how priming your mind, managing your ego, and using feedback can save you hours of mat time by helping you learn more from each session.
Discover the process of mastery.
Take the guesswork out of personal growth. Emily will show you how to apply systematic mental models that break through to new levels of personal performance.
Turn loss into an investment.
Learn how to develop the resilience needed so that you can always extract the lessons from defeat and build momentum, rather than lose it.
Stay the course.
Success is all about the quality of your sessions and the time you get to spend on the mat - build the habits and mindsets needed to avoid plateaus.
Develop presence.
Adopt a mindfulness practice that eliminates distractions and creates focus when competing.
