Episode notes
Guard Pulling Strategy
- Consider pulling guard due to potential risks of stand-up grappling with less experienced competitors.
- Maintain assertiveness and intention in guard pulling, similar to your aggressive stand-up game.
Seated Wrestle-Up Technique
- Josh has found success pulling guard, grabbing behind the opponent's knee, and transitioning to a single leg.
- He learned this technique from Craig Jones's instructional and adapted it due to his height and toe injuries.
Turtle and Training Priorities
- Don't accept the turtle position passively; strive to escape and restart.
- Prioritize training your strengths and offensive positions rather than solely focusing on escaping bad positions.
