General Concepts

All of this general concepts stuff is bullshit. Only way to get good is to get your body doing the motions hundreds of times so that you can do the movements automatically.

If you're doing anything consciously, you're already failing. Your body should almost be automatically reacting to what's going on.

You are right about the end game but wrong because understanding concepts help you learn faster, thinking your way through something is way to eventually make it automatic, and also, once in a while, you just might solve something on the fly.
 
That's simply not true. I clearly remember when starting out being able to hold onto little things like looking up in someones guard and not getting stuck flat when playing half guard really helping me out, even though I didn't have an overarching gameplan.
My exact thinking! My coach gave me another one tonight

Always block the hips with either a knee or a hand!
