Absorbing and Generating Force in Jiujitsu

In Jiujitsu, understanding how to absorb and generate force is crucial. Offensively, generating force is essential for advancing positions or locking in submissions, using various parts of the body to push against surfaces. Conversely, absorbing force is vital for defense and stability, allowing you to stay safe during attacks.
