Mean Applications vs. Mean Techniques
- Focus on controlling techniques throughout execution, not just the initial application.
- Prioritize control and avoid relying on body weight or excessive force, especially with less experienced partners.
Curse of Knowledge

- Experienced practitioners should use caution and communication when training with beginners.
