We've all heard it, 80% of fights go to the ground. Or whatever percentage you want to put. But let's be real, 100% of fights start standing. On this episode of Level Up Grappling we talk with Judoka and ex-bandmate of Coach Bryan (you have to listen to to find out) - Mike Toren. We talk about the power and beauty of Judo and why it's so crucial to understand and train your standing techniques. In this episode we also go in why you can't just go to a Judo school for a few lessons thinking that it will improve your stand-up game, rather what it involves to truly start standing and why you really should just stay home if you don't.
