Exploring Training Opportunities and Timeless Resources

This week we're joined again by Mike Mahaffey!  Best known as the "Old Bastard BJJ" guy, Mike joins us to discuss economy of motion in Jiu-Jitsu.  We define economy of motion as: All else being equal, prefer the option that requires less movement.  We unpack why this mental model is important, and how more athletic grapplers can violate this concept in favor of a movement-based game.
