Blog 18: Third Answer

EQ:
-How can Gracie Jiu-Jitsu best train a fighter to, "Not Lose" in a sparring session?

Answer #3:
-Gracie Jiu-Jitsu can best train a fighter to, "Not Lose" in a sparring session by emphasizing breakdowns and debriefs after sparring sessions.

Three details to support the answer:
-Debriefs help the learner know what worked and what they missed so that way they can apply what they missed next time (Purther's Pentagon and section debrief).
-Receiving a second perspective of your spar provides an unbiased perspective of your fighting and opportunities missed/made (A mentor/coach giving advice from the sidelines of the spar).
-Since sparring is meant for continuous training, repetition of corrections and observations will create a better fighter....gradually (Practice makes perfect).

Research Sources:
-All the Gracie Combatives curriculum emphasises this as I also practice looking back at my spars and reflect with my partner. Technically there is also source number

Concluding Sentence:
-In accordance with the other previous answers given, reflection can be important due to the benefits of learning from mistakes and having another unbiased observer picking out your flaws and your better qualities.
