This week’s episode is all about the importance of good posture. I first define what posture is, and then I discuss the difference between concave and convex posture, how different scenarios require different postures, and how you can manage the distance and self-frame your guard using a convex posture. The self-framing method will help you retain your supine guard and form better connections to your opponent with your legs. Other topics discussed are scaling back training as we age (while still improving) and the importance of failure when developing skills.

Dallas O’Regan is a black belt under Jeff Joslin and the owner of Dallas O’Regan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Cochrane, Alberta Canada. I had the pleasure of meeting Dallas after our students have competed against each other multiple times this last year at a few different competitions. His youth competition team is very high level, and he has a few young students that are standouts on the world stage. We discuss the old school BJJ mentality in the modern age, the efficacy of seminars, running the gauntlet, and building world level youth competitors in BJJ despite being based out of a small town.
