LeighmurBJJ

We have a wonderful reconditioning program, though, and our professionals at the astronaut gym got me fully back up to speed in approx 7 weeks.

Any chance we can get some more details on the program/gym?

I used to coach brazilian jiu jitsu to kids. As far as sports go, bjj is fairly difficult to learn: it takes balance, coordination, spatial awareness, core strength, cardiovascular and muscular conditioning, all in addition to what can be often be fairly complicated techniques. It's most definitely a thinking man's sport.

The kids learned it freakishly fast. The kids who have trouble with usually aren't able to pick it up because they physically aren't strong/coordinated enough to do whatever technique. The hardest part about teaching wasn't having kids understand the techniques; it was making sure the more advanced kids didn't get bored. I eventually had to start teaching one technique to everyone, then branch it together with two or three more just to keep the more advanced kids stimulated.

I really think if we just allowed kids to progress at their own rate while giving them some guidance, a lot of them would be able to learn things much faster than how we currently teach them in a structured environment.

if i were to go back to school again, it would probably be for astrophysics.

As someone who started back in school in their late 20's and doesn't have the money/time for a PhD (quite possibly the intelligence as well), this.
