Ep. 132: Wedges, feat. Matt Kwan

This week, Steve and Matt do a super detailed breakdown of wedges: a core mechanic of Jiu-Jitsu that's critical to offense.  Frames and wedges have a lot in common, but frames are primarily used for defense, whereas wedges are primarily used for offense.  If you liked our prior conversation on frames, you'll love this one on wedges.
