Let me let you in on a little secret: I’m not exactly the Hulk when I step onto the jiu-jitsu mat. Standing at a “fun-sized” height with a frame that would make a lightweight feel heavy, I’ve spent the past six years embracing the art of folding people twice my size into human origami. How, you ask? Physics, my friend. Physics.

It’s a physical chess game, a dance of leverage, balance, and momentum. It’s like physics class but without the questionable fashion choices of my high school science teacher. And now, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, I can’t help but geek out about how it’s set to turbocharge our training.
