 How many of you guys have ever heard of the Udalloop or the OODA cycle? One, two, how'd you hear of it? Military? With Master Chim, right? Yeah. He does the same knife fighting stuff that I'm a training group leader. Master Chim's a cool dude. But yeah, Udalloop. First, oh, I'm not going to get too much into this stuff. They actually do whole briefings. Colonel John Boyd used to do whole military briefings on this, like day long briefings just on this. Colonel John Boyd, they used to call him 42nd Boyd. He would let someone in a fighter jet get behind him within 40 seconds, he could reverse it. And he never lost. And they figured out, he goes, I was going through the Udalloop, the OODA cycle. He's also the guy who came up with the mathematical equation to figure out why the MiGs were better than our F-14s. And the F-14 is the top gun plane with the movable wings, if you remember that scene in Top Gun where it's moving around. Well, the reason is they try to make this one plane do multiple things and it sucked at all of them. Instead of one of my favorite quotes is from Gordon Ramsay, where he's Kitchen Nightmares. He's going in there trying to help people remake the restaurants. He goes, just do one thing well. Because they go in there and they try to have like three or five different menus and they do everything shitty. He's like, just do one thing well. So Colonel John Boyd's like, let's just make a plane that does one thing well. And that then was the F-15, the F-16, which then turned to the F-18. Now they try to fuck it all up against the F-32, which is just a shit show. Now you're with the A-10 Warthog. You guys are in airplanes? Yeah, like his main guy is the guy who came up with that too. So they actually, like I said, he came up with a mathematical formula to show like speed, like the velocity, how it's able to turn everything. And he's like, that's why the MiGs better than our F-14s. So this guy is super smart. Anyone who's in the Army, especially Marines, really learn this stuff, it's called the OODA loop. So I learned it from all the tactical training, but then it's just I got in a pickup. All this stuff instantly came over into that. So just real quick, OODA, first one's O, observation. So I'm observing, gathering information. Second one, orient. I'm zeroing in on dreadlocks in the front row because that caught my eye because that's different than everything else, so I just orient on that. D is the decision-making factor. So I decided to ask him a question when he raised his hand. And then action was me asking him the question, how long you trained your Jiu Jitsu for? How many times a week? So this is just a thought process loop that all of us go through. Again, once you understand the process, you can be better at it. Once you start really getting things into the unconscious competence phase, then you can kind of skip those. All of a sudden some guy puts a choke on you. I don't have to orient, decide and act. I just go right into action because now I'm skipping ahead. So read that. That's the stuff that helped me look as I'm approaching a three-set in a bar. I can instantly notice that, well, it's a four-top table, so four chairs, three girls are sitting there. In front of the girls I see one empty glass and one half-full glass, or half-empty glass, I guess, if you're a pessimist. But right in front of each one I can see those glasses and I know one of the chairs is empty. So as I'm approaching them, taking my one to two steps in, I'm already formulating a game plan on how I'm going to open them. Now I don't think like this anymore, but when I was first starting out, like, is this seat taken? Is it not? I don't know. Actually if you observe all the information is there if you need to get it. So just being able to, there's a good quote, lots of people look, but they never see. So once you see things, you can start being aware of bad things that can happen. So we're going to get specific examples in a second, but Udalloop, you see a guy walking into the bar looking real sketchy. Well, what happened here a week ago? Right there. If your Udalloop's dialed in, maybe something else could have stopped that.
