Jiu-Jitsu isn’t supposed to be complicated — so why do most people make it harder than it has to be? In this episode of The I Suck at Jiu-Jitsu Show, I(thejoshmckinney) sit down with Henry Akins(@henryakinsbjj) and Michael Zenga(@michaelzenga) to break down the most powerful “old school” concepts.

We talk: mount vs. back, the forgotten power of the cross-collar choke, and how legends like Rickson, Roger, and Gordon all built their games the same simple way.

We laugh, tell stories of Henry Abusing us, and dive deep into the micro-details that turn basic moves into black-belt weapons. If you’re ready to stop overcomplicating your jiu-jitsu and start winning with less, this episode is for you.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

Why mount > back (and why most people get it backwards)
The cross-collar choke secrets even black belts miss
Why Half Guard Doesn't Exist
Why “mastering less” is the real key to mastery
How breathing and body positioning change everything
