In his video course, the trainer of champions John Danaher emphasizes again and again that for all five variations of the “guillotine” technique it is necessary to ensure the “High Wrist” position. This is the only way to block the two carotid arteries in the opponent’s neck at once, radically limiting the flow of oxygen to the brain. Everything else — the position of your body or the grip with the other hand — is of secondary importance. If you managed to close High Wrist on your opponent’s neck, you’re already halfway to victory.
The most important thing in learning anything is to understand the most important thing. Otherwise, it is easy to drown in the ocean of interesting, diverse and promising information. It would seem such a simple thought. But looking at the training content from experts in business, science, crafts or sports, you come to the conclusion that in 90% of cases, students can not digest it. The amount of information provided is generous, the details are described thoroughly, the quality of presentation is excellent, but it is impossible to fit this knowledge into their heads. For example, the rings from the children’s game “Pyramid” delight the eye with their colors and sizes, but are absolutely useless if there is no pole to string them on.
A professional can tell the nuances of his field of knowledge a thousand and one nights, like Scheherazade. A student needs, as my coach Vadim Puzanov used to say, a “basic foundation”, that is, a solid foundation on which to build a skyscraper. Although there are enough experts in each subject area, but those who can quickly and effectively transfer knowledge to students is hard to find. First of all, because the expert must have a clear hierarchy of knowledge in his head, which he can individually convey to the student: “This is the most important thing for you right now. You can forget about the rest for now.” If you are discovering some new area in business and beyond, the first thing to do is to find an expert who knows how to separate the grains from the chaff. Perhaps one piece of advice will radically accelerate your growth.
