A previous absolute world champion in KB sport, Ivan Denisov, once told me that using the techniques for KB sport was not a good idea for grapplers. He was convinced the relaxed style would ruin your ability to "go" when you needed to. I agree with him. I also think the much, much higher volume doesn't combine well with a BJJ schedule, which can be 4-5 days a week...

Trivia re: Snap (from a boring wikipedia page) - Derivations of position with respect to time.
The first derivation of position is *Velocity* (speed)
The second derivation of position is *Acceleration*
The third derivation of position is *Jerk*
The fourth derivation of position is *Snap* (or "Jounce")
The fifth derivation of position is *Crackle*
The sixth derivation of position is *Pop*

I am not making this up, Yes, those last two were probably named after breakfast cereal characters. Apparently, jerk is used frequently, snap is sometimes used in civil engineering (where you need extreme precision), or The units are m/s, m/s^2 ... m/s^6.

Dan, appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Can you explain how the twisting force you describe in the suitcase carry is safer for the spine than the single-hand kettle bell swings that I believe, you indicate should be avoided because of the twisting force on the spine? I am probably conflating the issues but it would be great to develop a better understanding.

The Graphics! 😂 but seriously. Would you recommend the fibre supplement or eating more homecooked seeds likw beans lentils peas etc? is it a balance between too much of calories versus not enough fibre?

What do you think of the carnivore diet popularised by Shawn Baker et al?

Dan, have you seen the Anatoly gym prank videos that have been going viral? If so, did they make you chuckle?
