It’s OK that there’s no resistance when you’re first learning.

When you learn to play basketball, you learn to shoot with good form. But you don’t immediately have someone trying to block your shot.

When you learn to drive, you start in an empty parking lot.

When you learn most things, you start at level 0. No one says, “That’s not realistic.” But for some reason, we hear that all the time in jiu-jitsu.
