  • #007 - Conventional Wisdom?

    This week on the show T gives Mike some 'Conventional Wisdom' in BJJ.

    Mike breaks it down and lets us know if he agrees or disagrees!

    Here are some of the things we cover:

    • don’t chase the next belt,
    • don’t chase gym wins,
    • there’s no substitute for mat time,
    • position before submission,
    • always win the grip fight
    • technique beats size and strength
    • a black belt is a white belt that did not quit
    • iron sharpens iron
    • (ABC) Always Be Choking
    • I am a shark and the mat is my water
    • guard pulling is for wimps
    • not tapping from pressure
    • no base no case

      • Shout out to the team at BJJ Brick Podcast for the idea!!
