G Minor Fugue for Jiu Jitsu
What is the common thread between Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Chess, and Bach?
In a chess game there are 400 different positions after each player makes one move apiece. There are 72,084 positions after two moves apiece.... There are more 40-move games on Level-1 than the number of electrons in our universe. There are more game-trees of Chess than the number of galaxies (100+ billion), and more openings, defenses, gambits, etc. than the number of quarks in our universe! --Chesmayne
In a twelve tone chromatic scale there are 479, 001, 600 possible combinations, excluding rhythmic variety, according to Theodore Slonimsky, musical mathematician and composer. Leaving the possible melodic varieties of a musical composition in the realm of a chess game.
The Gentle Art takes the beautiful numbers of Chess and Music and rewrites them every time we step on the mat. The combination of the "possible" matches in a jiu jitsu match will never be computed. The dynamics of the human body and its interactions with an opponent are limited only by the time and creativity of the players.
Check Out Chris Hammell and Lance Glynn as they express all of this in motion.
(Music in the video is "Fugue for Organ in G Minor "Little", BWV 578, by J.S. Bach)
