Episode notes
Use Match Databases To Study Specific Failures
- Use tools like Outlier DB to rapidly search competition clips and study specific techniques you struggled with.
- Apply targeted clip searches (e.g., "Kimura Escape") to see dozens of live examples and learn patterns fast.

- Jake described the roller coaster of CGI being posted free, then paywalled, then free again and how it affected entering matches into his database.
- He spent days waiting and then had to enter a huge backlog once the videos returned to YouTube.

- The CGI ruleset encouraged some competitors to stay flat on their back after guard pass to minimize submission risk.
- That behavior changed how matches flowed and required different attacker strategies to elicit movement.
