Also, while I'm thinking about this topic, one of my more recent thought process' was about how to present jiu jitsu to the average user/reader on Steemit.
I think that one of the main issues we run into when producing content, is that we get into the mode of producing content aimed towards people who already do jiu jitsu. There is nothing wrong with that, but also consider the broader audience (specially here on Steemit). Most are not going to be able to, nor care about going inverted, using lockdown or other other sporty guards, or maybe even have the basic jiu jitsu knowledge to even consider techniques like this.
Many people also do not have the athleticism, or flexibility to perform some of the more sporty techniques.
Many of the more sporty techniques are not very safe or applicable to perform on the street or in a fight. Most of the self-defense techniques, I'm finding, still are applicable when rolling or competing against other jits practitioners.
So lately when I've been thinking about the production of my own videos to share here on Steemit, it's dawned on me to consider the audience. What would be most useful or helpful to the person sitting behind the keyboard, potentially reading my post or watching my vid. Most likely it will be more of the self-defense techniques.
