In this episode, we revisit the question of maximizing open sparring. At most gyms, there's a portion of class dedicated to open sparring, and how to truly gain the most during that time. For beginners, we feel like most of open sparring is spent in so many positions, it can be challenging to close the loop on specific positions or lessons of what works and what doesn't. We discuss Jake's advice on how to ask questions and use conversation with our training partners to get the most learning from open sparring. Hope you enjoy!
