    What Craig said about finding the right training partners, avoiding injuries and not overtraining at 32.0 minutes. This is especially true for older people. I am 53 Brown Belt and train with mostly guys half my age at a very competitive dojo. My professor is a high level competitor and we train high level and we make great effort train safe but injuries happen. I have a 70/30 rule.....70% roll with people who are at my level or lower and 30% with people above my skills. This works for me for longevity in this sport.

    Thanks for having Craig on. Us Aussies love him. He’s like a soldier on a Covert Ops mission fighting for what we all believe in over here in Australia - fairness and transparency no matter what. We don’t see Craig as a pioneer of anything, we just see him doing things the way we would expect. I hope this sets a precedent in the BJJ space.

    Never heard of Craig Jones until RUclips recommended some CJI content and I clicked to watch. Glad I did. Craig is such a smart and intelligent guy who puts on his larrikin persona to enjoy himself and entertain everyone. This was a super intelligent, candid and entertaining sit down chat. CJI was really cool and I've been watching the replays that they've put on RUclips. I hope they run it again and keep calling it the CJI because of all the hard work Craig did to get it to become reality. RUclips has been recommending all these Craig videos and it's literally the man going to every big RUclipsr to promote the event in a humorous and interesting way. Well done Craig and it was seriously fun watching him realising this event and have a ball with interacting and grappling with Gabi. 👏👏

And then not only that, you also need to assume it's not "gentle" on its target because it lacks striking, but rather "gentle" over the long term for the bodies of practitioners?
