This video is of Mark Zuckerberg and I, Lex Freedman, training jujitsu. 00:00:35.060 |
Martial art with the goal of attaining positional dominance of your opponent, 00:00:38.660 |
and then to submit them by breaking their arm or leg or choking them unconscious. 00:00:45.220 |
as your opponent taps twice to designate that they give up. 00:00:47.780 |
I'm a black belt in jujitsu and I've been doing it for over 15 years, and 00:00:55.460 |
Mark has been training jujitsu for just over a year, and 00:01:01.260 |
with a seriousness that to me is truly inspiring. 00:01:04.700 |
This was recorded shortly after our recent podcast conversation. 00:01:08.940 |
And given the recent back and forth between Elon and Zuck on social media, 00:01:13.780 |
I should mention that I'm a longtime friend of Elon and a new friend of Zuck. 00:01:18.860 |
And I'm excited to see them take on the journey of being martial artists 00:01:22.460 |
in their own way, and I look forward to training with each of them. 00:01:27.340 |
They both run large, successful, impactful companies, and so they're super busy. 00:01:33.300 |
But I do believe there's tremendous value in them practicing martial arts, 00:01:37.220 |
as it will make them better leaders, better human beings, and 00:01:42.660 |
First and foremost, at least to me, jujitsu is humbling, and 00:01:47.540 |
humility is a powerful tool for innovation and leadership. 00:01:51.300 |
Let me quote here as one must, the great Miyamoto Musashi, 00:01:56.980 |
a Japanese swordsman and warrior philosopher from the 17th century. 00:02:01.620 |
Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world. 00:02:08.620 |
So he also did say that the way of the warrior is the resolute acceptance of death. 00:02:14.940 |
In this video, you see Mark and I doing live technical training and 00:02:20.260 |
some practice of techniques under the guidance of the legendary jiu jitsu and 00:02:27.260 |
And now, dear friends, here's Mark Zuckerberg and I training some jiu jitsu. 00:02:44.100 |
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> You want to do it with both hands? 00:02:47.980 |
>> I just don't want to do it with the hands. 00:05:04.960 |
>> You're gonna have to stand up to make it shake off. 00:07:51.960 |
>> When he has that guillotine, turn away from the elbow.
