The writer of this article asked 11 different BJJ instructors from different clubs and different skill levels to state things that they normally wouldn’t tell their students. At my personal level, I consider myself a coach… been coaching on and off taking over classes here and there until our two main BJJ coaches left us to pursue aspirations in southern Ontario… the mecca of BJJ in Ontario, Toronto.I believe, I officially took over running these classes late last year pretty much after John Veale finished his last exam… i think or was it the year before… grrr not sure lack of sleep from baby waking up is blinding me lol… we helped loaded his cube truck and that was it. Full-time coaching the BJJ classes on Sundays and Tuesdays, I was a little bit perturbed, now I wasn’t allowed to be only focused on myself all the time, training always consumed me, especially competition. I was addicted to competition, especially after my first one, now I was limited to minus, yes two nights a week.Pros and cons… pros and cons… another part of my journey I guessed and trail blazed through… To fully understand technique you must know how to teach them accordingly… still frustrating though not being able to drill… yes I love drilling. Worst is when the classes are odds and with time management of having the classes run on time I had to remove myself from the mix at times, irrational it was. I used to train five to six days a week at its peak, addiction? Yes. Full-time job and wife. Coached two of those days a week so it went down to four or five depending on if the numbers were even including myself. No dice with drilling, so I started coming earlier to get the weights and some lifting in to keep up with the missed training.Baby popped out on Dec 23rd 2014… yes a baby, love the dude seriously… I love him… but now I’m down to four days a week “sarcasm?”. Two of them? Coaching is BS I’ll tell you BS… naw… its all good. Life I’ll tell you, similar to BJJ ups and downs, unforgettably moments and surprises . Mind you with the baby and minimal sleep, it has opened up other doors an opportunity to share what I’ve learned with all my years in BJJ, even though I consider myself a fetus compared to others in this Martial Art.It’s integrally why I started blogging, extra down time with a baby… hopefully someone else sees my BJJ journey, can sympathize, can relate. We humans need support systems. Support and welcoming of new practitioners into BJJ. It’s how we maintain positive growth in our BJJ communities. This article really hit home and is hilarious at the same time… Again I’m only a purple belt, not a black belt… yes #purplebeltproblems we have them too lol… I’ve added my two cents, or some may say half a cent of comments only, as additional feedback. lmao.
11. WHEN WE SAY “TRUST THE TECHNIQUE”, WE MEAN IT
“We know it feels weird. We know the positions are odd and that sometimes you feel a choke isn’t in correctly, but when we tell you to trust the technique instead of your feelings, listen to us.”
Personally, a lot of techniques I have learned, I’ve used OTM through trial and error… to me a technique I’ve learned and will teach may not 100 percent work for everyone based on personal attributes… based on your body type, your opponents body type, the functionality of the technique taught might not be necessarily for you. That’s why we drill and roll to work the functionality of the technique so you understand how the technique will be useful for you in multiple specific scenario’s.
10. WE DON’T CARE THAT YOU TOOK KARATE FOR “X” YEARS
“When you first walk into a club looking to take BJJ, we’ll normally ask if you have any experience…what we’re really looking for is if you have any grappling experience. Karate, Tae-kwon-do, Jeet-kune-do…we don’t really care, and we really don’t want to sit and listen about your karate tournaments, just get on the mat and let’s start.”
I get this all the time… it is what it is… You’re a 2 degree black belt in Karate, fantastic… TKD awesome… just a head’s up I’ve explained, there is no striking, slamming, eye gouging, wearing jocks or cups, biting, heel hooks, neck cranks or fish hooking in BJJ… oh you have to wear a white belt in our class… and please sign a waiver… after warm up’s, we drill, work on some technique, some positional stuff and then some live rolling. Welcome to BJJ. Most of the time their gassed from the warm ups… only 10 mins long damn… i remember the days of 30 mins or an hour as run by John Veale, miss the old days, god bless what he did for us with BJJ in Thunder Bay, all the meat heads hate warm ups. BJJ philosophy, burn your self out with warm ups-drilling-positional sparring and you will find time to only use technique while rolling from being sooo burnt out. Most of the time they don’t come back… however the guys that maintain course and continue coming to classes are the keepers as training partners. The best is when your rolling with them… and they are like I just want to punch you in the head, while in your closed guard… or gas tap when your on top of them… hahahahah
9. WE DON’T LIKE TEACHING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER
“We don’t like teaching arm bars over and over, and especially don’t like teaching side control hundreds upon thousands of times. But like anything you want to be good at, it’s necessary, so please don’t complain that you aren’t learning anything. We know its repetitive and kind of boring, but we also know that it needs to be perfect. Plus, we are working on ours at the same time, not just teaching it”
Yes it is boring… but its the shit that works and we hit it during tournaments… just saying tried and tested… this shit works. Drill drill drill. Boring, but it works. Like Bruce Lee once stated… fear the man that has practiced one kick 1000 times, not the man that has practiced 1000 different kick’s? You get this with the enthusiastic white belts that have been training for a couple months and ask you about how to do a reverse de la riva sweep to a berimbolo back take, after doing research on YouTube cute… or from watching the BJJ pros executing it in competitions. Heck the white belt can’t even execute an arm bar from closed guard while positional drilling with their partners… I know your trying to be in the in and cool but its not… Just be fantastic and do the boring stuff please…
8. YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR DUES
“We paid ours, and you’re going to as well. We fought tournaments, we roll every class, and we did thousands of positional drills. All this came with multiple injuries, hundreds of hours as the “choking dummy” and gallons of sweat, blood and mat-burn ointment. So no, we aren’t ‘good’, we are the product of thousands of ass-kicking’s, and you will be too”
I may be only purple belt, not a pro nor a black belt… but I have spent a few countless hours OTM, especially at our gym… believe me it didn’t take a year to get my blue belt. I was a white belt for 4 years. When we first started there was only a few of us training in a GI… yes a few… grown quite a bit since leaving where the old club use to be…
7. GOING FAST AND HARD MAKES US ANGRY
“BJJ is about finesse, combinations and going with the flow. We understand that up until a certain level your body isn’t trained to relax when it’s in a physical battle. But we also know when you can relax and just don’t want to, and that causes injuries. So when you decide to can-opener me and cause me injury, you’ll get a little friendly guidance on the rules of rolling and injuries. Do it again and we decide to hold onto submissions a little longer and a little harder until you get the point”
OOOp’s… I’m guilty… my style is like a mouse or possum as others have explained. I’m small… and not strong comparatively to others, I rely on strategy and wait to counter off mistakes… so when your crushing my neck with a rape choke in my guard, digging your elbows into my thighs, or rubbing your forearm with a GI I might add into my eyes and decide to gas tap, especially for the newer big boys that come by and try out BJJ… I rely on technique and finesse. Getting pretty darn good at it and I can be fast at times, especially when you make a mistake… learn what is illegal, what is legal, rolling etiquette, and not how to be dirty with your training partner… Using your weight to control is cool, using your weight to crush someones throat can bite you in the ass… its your job OTM to be concerned of your fellow training partners… with out them you would be training by yourself and watching Youtube videos… choose.
6. WE LOVE QUESTIONS
“I absolutely love questions and I ask a ton of questions. If you ask questions, I know that you’re paying attention. I also know that you want to know why something works and why it doesn’t. If you ask questions you’re automatically one of my favorites.”
This really hits home… I ask every time after I show a technique… ask me please… anything, even though its stupid. Not when or after, when no one is looking or worst off on how to do something else…
5. MOST OF US DON’T GET PAID AND HAVE CAREERS
“Unless they’re the gym owner, head instructor or Master, your instructor probably gets very little compensation if any. We train because we love to train. We have regular day jobs, families and every day problems like everyone else. So using your jitz buddies to gripe about life is a great release and great place to get your stresses out for the day so you can go home in a good mood to your family. But when it’s closing time, don’t forget that we have families we want to see too.”
Yep I don’t get paid… and nope I’m not part owner of this club “TRUTH”… was hoping one day, but you never know. I do this because it’s my part in helping with the growth of BJJ in our community.I do this to pass on what I’ve learned to others, not much, but something.I do this because I feel like its part of my learning curve to become a black belt, heck I kinda like it at times… especially when I can get a chance to get reps in during the warm up and drilling…You must learn the art, every aspect of it, from competitions, fundamental techniques, defending, even applicable self defence and to be able to teach ever aspect of it… said, something in my head that i thought I made it up… lol
4. DON’T PRACTICE WHAT ISN’T BEING TAUGHT
“We can’t stand when we are going over a technique we’ve gone over hundreds of times (see #9), and while we are teaching, people are talking or working on a move that is completely different. Don’t forget that every class has new people and it’s distracting and disrespectful to them while they’re trying to learn…after all, they’re paying a lot of money to learn what’s going on. Not to mention it makes the gym look amateur.”
Yes, this just distracts others… work on the technique or help others on this technique if you are an expert…
3. STOP HELPING (UNLESS YOU’RE ASKED)
“We’ve all had that ‘Aha!’moment, where a technique clicks and you finally got a hold of it. We are absolutely happy and proud that you’ve got it…but unless you’re given permission by the instructor to teach, don’t teach. The understanding is that we are only permitted to teach techniques that we have a firm grasp on. For example, we can teach a kimura for short people, tall people, muscular and scrawny. We can show you the leg position for each body type to make the technique more effective and different positions from where it can be applied. If someone says it’s not working for them, we can see what’s wrong and fix it….can you?”
Yeah this is just distracting… your two cents is great, when you’re asked… I’m not perfect… may get things misinterpreted, or different words may come out of my mouth during a lesson… everyone makes mistakes, even your coaches. Believe me you will have to teach a class one day…
2. IF YOU ACT LIKE A BADASS, WE’LL SHOW YOU YOU’RE NOT
“Cockiness and arrogance destroys gyms…it takes away our ‘family’ environment, and it’s a sure fire way to get everyone gunning for you. If we find out you’re using what you learn to bully kids at school, we’ll throw you into the shark tank – I remember a single mom bringing her disruptive teen into our gym. He called her a ‘bitch’, punked kids at school, kicked people randomly on a whim and referred to himself as ‘God’. His mom gave the head instructor $50 and told us to show him how badass he isn’t. He returned her money and made him roll…and he realized really fast that he’s not Bruce Lee.”
Haven’t come across this yet… I believe that the majority of guys and girls that I have coached are well behaved OTM that is… but hey great idea per-say if this ever happened.
1. WE’RE LEARNING WHILE WE’RE TEACHING
“No, I don’t know everything for every situation, that’s why your instructors have instructors. The more experienced your teacher, the more situations they’ve been in, and the more they’ll know. I know enough to teach, and in doing so, will discover little things that I didn’t know before. After class, I’ll ask my teachers what to do in that situation and practice it to no end just so I have that knowledge.”
I’m a firm believer, as do others, that a good teacher or in my case coach, is always learning, evolving, and growing too. Similar to learning about BJJ… the art is continually evolving. Heck we are human and again we make mistakes. Teacher or coaches are not God… we don’t know everything… and if you do… different story, maybe you should teach. Student as part of their learning need to be researchers and learn on their own unless they are getting privates on the side… different story again. We can always lead a horse to water… but if the river is dry will that horse one day help his leader in finding another river, lake, or water source? huh??Here’s a small clip of us doing a small warm up… in the summer… twas great… twas great…
Thought of you Travis Duncan, who made me want to start training in a GI in 2008 or 2009 when i first trained with you subbing me every second in nogi sooo I bought my first GI… A3, 2 to 3 sizes tooo big lol… not to mention Steven Maley who showed up every soo often as well all back on James street lol… also major credit for John Veale, & Ashley who pushed… as a blue belt and brought all the influences into competion to Thunder Bay!
Morgan Frazer for sticking through it as a white belt in 2012… remember. IBJJF Chicago. Damn sons… time blown by… friends we made… things we done. feels like yesterday.
Torres: Stick With It | BJJ Mini-Documentary | Jits Magazine:
Do we work to train? abso-freaking-lutely… if your a BJJ addict…
Been off the mat since Tuesday… itching to get sometime in.
Got to LEMMA at roughly 4pm… no one around… could have sworn I posted something on our Facebook group page… oh well I will drill on my own with the grappling dummy until someone shows up. While putting on my GI pants at roughly 4:15pm phew heard someone opening the doors… awesome! Turned out to be Alex the beast Wawia… only thought in my head was great… i better get a really good warm up going. Alex is a 220 lbs white belt that has a back ground in yep… Judo. I’m currently about 160… 166 on a full beefy day. Alex is freaky strong, fantastic top game, I’d say mid level to higher blue belt top game, tones of control, pin point i might add. Like rolling with a baby bear. Yep, glad the heat was on and I was ready to be fighting for my life on the bottom. We ended up rolling for about 4, 10 min rounds… very delightful I might add… he used no strength which was fantastic, only a few times he slipped trying to catch up, on the bottom what what! while defending a few of my new leg locks I’ve been trying to add to my repertoire. Steve walked in, Marc, Brock, Matt, Gary, Nathan, Mike, and then Anthony… definitely a good crew out. Awesomeness I was thinking in my head while trying my best to disengage on Alex’s guard passing only to take his back… while Matt was “yelling out what are you fools doing… UFC?”
Rolling:
1. Alex Wawia, 40×10 min, flow fast technical rounds
2. Matt Veal, 1×10 min, hard round, survive on bottom
3. Steve Maley, 1×10 min, hard round, technical, with a few straight foot lock attemps
4. Marc Perrier, 1×10 min, hard round with a vicious baby tiger.
5. Brock Peters, 1×15 min, hard round, survive on bottom with an ape.
Was hoping to get a few more rounds in… but had to get home… gotta have dinner with the wife, ma baba & hang out with the dog!
If you didn’t get out this time… hope to see you next, maybe tomorrow at 2pm or Sunday at 10am… Open mat at 12pm on family day for the long weekend.
Remember BJJ is nothing without yous… we cry at the dojo to laugh in the battlefield, the only place we can improve is OTM, might as well enjoy it while we can.
Below is a wonderful picture taken by my buddy Travis Duncan last week… hopefully he gets some time OTM this weekend while in Minneapolis at the Alliance BJJ club.
Wow… what a snow storm out tonight… had great group of guys out.
Me, Morgan Frazer, John Ganth, Marc Perrier, & Brittany McNeice for 8pm BJJ… most definitely dedicated. BJJ is nothing without you.
That being said, John Ganth one of our most experienced blue belts happened to grace our presence this lovely winter Tuesday night and joined in on our class. He has a tonne of other Martial Arts expertise with wrist locks and very real self defense styled combat arts. We asked him if he could show a few BJJ applicable techniques in which he luckily obliged… as a budding Martial Arts it is always good to think outside the box… you can learn from everyone… sometimes you win and sometime you lose in application of other styled Martial Arts in BJJ. For some reason when he mentioned throws with standing arm bars and wrist locks my eyes lit up and I said ‘perfect, sounds like BJJ to me’ let’s do this after the warm-up… lol
Warm up consisted of the following drills:
Arm bars from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Hip bump sweep from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Kimura’s from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Kimura transition to head only guillotine from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Omaplata’s with over hook, from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Scissor sweeps, with cross lapel from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Triangles from closed guard, 10 reps alternating sides
Inverted Guard Drill, 10 reps for each side
Below is a small clip from Grapplersplanet.com with a few girls from Toronto BJJ
Techniques:
1. Four Corner Takedown with Standing Arm Lock on Shoulder
The version that our self defense expert John Ganth showed us set up an arm lock on the shoulder before turning around, with the goose head type wrist lock and taking your opponent down. Below is similar to what we drilled. It’s an old Classical Japanese Jujutsu technique (also found in Aikido and other styles) I found on YouTube.
2. Standing Side Arm Lock to Reverse Americana or Key Lock Takedown
The version that our self defense expert John Ganth showed us set up an arm lock straightening the arm out, then with the free arm using the blade of your forearm or wrists to apply pressure to the elbow, until your opponent reacts by pulling away, maintaining wrist/hand control pulling up, and with the arm that once was applying pressure to the elbow now reaches around in a figure four pattern to grab your own wrist to apply a standing of what is similar to a americana or key lock formation, on the wrong side I might add if inside control, and with a goose head wrist lock if you choose, body moving away from your opponent sideways, plus squatting downwards at the same time. Below is similar to what we drilled.
Two Examples of Similar Standing Straight Arm Locks Found on Youtube
Example of the Americana or Key lock
Rolling:
4 x 5 mins rounds
Rolled with John Ganth
Rolled with Marc Perrier
Rolled with Morgan Frazer
Sat out…
Morgan Frazer, below is a small clip of real life situations you will never put yourself in hahahhaha! & of course Steven… the man Segal… all found on glorious YouTube hahahah
Effective Use of Aikido in a Real-life Street Attack
Thought this was interesting… comparing how much we train or goals we set compared to the professionals we look up to. An article from Jiu-Jitsu Magazines website. I’ve attached a link below.
I absolutely agree with this article regarding the blurring line between our accessibility with the people we look up to whether it be in competitions, YouTube videos, or other online formats and what we can expect out of ourselves. Being able to talk to them at competitions, discuss BJJ openly and hang out with them at their gym, and even during seminars could give the illusion that their accomplishments are very well possible for the average daily part time BJJer. Heck they even sit right next to us during the tournaments we attend lol… watching BJJ Black Belts compete at the highest level is cool. NP, get a picture with Marcelo Garcia, Keenan Cornelius, Marcus Almeida Buchecha, Andre Galvao, Dean Lister, Jeff Glover, Caio Terra, and the list goes on…
Reality Check! Math as this Article Discusses
This article uses “BJ Penn” as a prime example. He received his Black Belt in 3 years. Theoretically, if he trained 5 days, 6 hours a day, with 2 hours in the morning, 2 hours in the afternoon, and possibly 2 hours at night on average. He would spend roughly 30 hours a week training BJJ in the gym. Given only 52 weeks in a year, that’s a cool 1560 hours BJJ mat time for a year of training. 3 years to get a Black Belt means a whopping 4680 hours over a 3 year span… HUGE!!!!. Additionally, might I add this training was in a GI… yes BJ Penn trained and competed in a GI.
That being said, this article comparatively frames “BJ Penn” to an “average BJJer”, who theoretically and respectfully trains 3 times a week for about a 2 hour span. That’s including, warm-up, drilling, technique, and most importantly live rolling. That’s 6 hours a week, whereas, BJ Penn would have 30 hours. Given 52 weeks, that 312 hours a year, whereas, BJ Penn has 1560 hrs. In over a 3 year span… grand total of 936 hours… cray cray… reality check eh?? again in a GI.
Therefore, if theoretically to reach Black Belt the magic number was 4680 hours, per ‘BJ Penn’s’ accomplishment. The ‘average BJJer’ would take 15 years… based on taking 3 classes a week. Realistic and Achievable? absoluteness…
Below is a diagram which displays the BJJ mat time in a GI math as borrowed from this article.
Using Alliance BJJ belt requirements as a baseline for a more realistic approach for goals of an average BJJer… just needed a base line. International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) has their own sets of guidelines that appear to somewhat make sense as well. There are sooooo many other factors to account for; you really need to start somewhere. Below is an image to Alliance BJJ’s belt requirements.
Breaking it down even further to realism for an average BJJer, I’ve put together a cool spreadsheet using the influencing article as well as Alliance BJJ’s belt requirements.
According to Team Alliance’s Belt requirements:
For a blue belt, on average, 10 to 14 months of training with a minimum of 100 to 120 classes plus passing a test, which is roughly 240 hours as depicted in the spreadsheet. Could be reached if you trained 2 times a week, based on a 2 hour class, in one year.
For a purple belt, on average, 3 years of training with a minimum of 360 classes plus passing a test, which is roughly 720 hours as depicted by the spreadsheet. Could be reached if you trained 7 times a week, based on a 2 hour class, in one year.
For a brown belt, on average, 6 years of training with a minimum of 750 classes plus passing a test, which is roughly 1500 hours as depicted by the spreadsheet. Could be reached if you trained 14 times a week, about 2 times a day, based on a 2 hour class in one year.
For a black belt, on average, 8 years of training plus a demonstration, note that with interpolation it works out to a total minimum of 1000 classes, which is roughly 2000 hours as depicted by the spreadsheet. Could be reached if you trained 21 times a week, about 3 times a day or to be exact 20 times week, with about 2.8 time a day, let’s just round up to 3 lol.
Note that the above is framed under the fact that you will be training 7 days a week. Let’s just say that’s impossible or is it? With life, work, other hobbies, sickness, resting, and potential injuries. The reality is it will never happen… unless you’re ridiculously well off, single, immune to every disease known to man, and a BJJ addict. Hey I’m only one of those. Achievable and attainable I guess in a perfect world based on training 7 days a week. Hahahah… forgive my sarcasm.
That being said I will never be a BJ Penn, heck started in 2008… Currently I’m 36… Reality check! Running into the pros is cool. I admire them, I train anywhere from 4 to 5 times a week… 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours long. I have a wife, work full time, a new born baby; and I’m an amateur home chef who enjoys dabbing in 12 to 15 year single cask aged fine scotch. Oh and my lovely dog. All which need my undivided attention if I’m not thinking of BJJ. Seeing those pros in action can certainly de-motivate your gains in BJJ. It’s all about perspective.
Sooo, I can’t be like BJ Penn, Clark Gracie, Kron Gracie, JT Torres, Andre Galvao, Keenan Cornelius?… or even Marcelo Garcia… everyone is always like well Marcelo Garcia did it, he’s a small guy… seriously dude he’s a one in a million… then who can I be like? Mike?.. ‘Michael Jordan, an old Nike sports advertisement’. How about be like me, myself and I? Truth.
You’ve spent half a decade to get a purple belt… you ever been crushed by a blue belt who trains full time and is half your age. not saying it’s happened to me… yet! At least not as a purple belt… lol. Blue belt, yes. Purple… no. Anyone will take it individually and condemn themselves. It’s all just a mental kick in the ass thing.
This article discusses that the majority of gold medalists in IBJJF Tournaments are full-time BJJers, even at the blue belt level. They might not be living inclusively off sponsorship’s, but they do have the will to center their training exclusively on just BJJ. When I go to work, they’re training. When I feel like crap and don’t go train as scheduled, they’re training. When I make dinner for the family, they’re training. When I walk my dog, they’re training. When I’m changing my baby’s diaper, their training… dragging on? Or are we the same?
At the end of the day we are nothing like the professionals aside from that they are human. I am not BJ Penn, Clark Gracie, Kron Gracie, JT Torres, Andre Galvao, Keenan Cornelias… or even Marcelo Garcia. My BJJ is my own BJJ. We are all built differently, brought up in different circumstances and different situations. You will be graded when your Professor decides you are ready. You will improve at your own tempo. The reality is, who cares about a medal and world championships. Medals are just objects that everyone forgets about, not even real gold, silver or bronze. We cannot let others define who we are. BJJ is about self expression of the art we’ve learned. Tournaments and testing yourself is only a small facet of what BJJ has to offer. You don’t need to be a title holder to enjoy the sport. Maybe learn BJJ and save the world…. now that would be cool hahahah. We all contribute; in one way or form… training BJJ is a contribution in its own…
At the end of today’s class one the guys I coach brought up that he feels like a door knob when he get gets submitted, doesn’t know how to defend, or any submission for matter of the fact. He just started a few months ago and trains every Sunday. So he trains once a week. I explained that you won’t be able to learn everything in one sitting let alone from 4 or 8 lessons… I explained that I feel like a door knob when rolling with brown or black belts… it’s normal. He explained that he’s watched all these YouTube videos with all sorts of techniques and submissions and he can’t hit any on anyone and its deterring. I explained that being submitted is part of your learning curve… in Brazil most white belts start with working on their closed guard… you happen to only be able to attend a more intermediate class… which has its pros and cons… Learn newer stuff… however lose focus on the fundamentals. I further explained that being a beginner and attending a more advance class you will have to focus particular on avoiding submission as opposed to trying to submit the other guys… make that a focus. I told him that he was doing everything right… heck my first few years on the mat I spent being submitted by everyone… still do by more advance guys.
At the end of the day… its about enjoying your journey… not worrying about what you can’t do compared to the great ones…focus on having fun and everything will come.
Or maybe we could quit everything, travel from club to club and just train… not sure if my baby or wife would appreciate that… just saying!
That being said is there an exact equation to BJJ for a part-BJJer?
Inspiring Film By Stuart Cooper, The Spirit of Jiu-Jitsu
My answer is no… being a part-time grappler with soooo many changing variables there are infinite possibilities… best just enjoy the journey because the destination will never change. WAIT or does it get better as some Black Belts I know have stated? Or doesn’t?
Make it a way of life!
