Beginning Jiu Jitsu: Plateau Busting
It happens to everyone. Nothing seems to be working. You cannot pick up anything new. Pitchers fall into slumps. Writers get blocked. It is the dreaded plateau.

Catfighting is really a sexist, derogatory word describing a brawl involving two women. The very term conjures up an image of a crazy, out of control battle with fingernails used as principle weapons and the fighters are mere animals.
A lot of beginners have trouble maintaining top position in guard. They get swept and wind up flat on their back. But even worse, they have no idea how they got there. “It happened so fast,” they’ll say. While the person lying on the ground may not know how it happened, their opponent had been working the sweep for a full 30 seconds before he made the move. Observers saw it coming but the victim had no clue.
