In the second episode of Jiu-Jitsu Polarities, Emily discusses the balance between offense and defense, and how they exist on a spectrum rather than as opposites. Emily illustrates scenarios where practitioners become imbalanced, the need for awareness of both strategies, the importance of self-advocacy in training, cognitive dissonance, the relevance of objective self-assessment, and the utility of polarity mapping for identifying key strategies in Jiu-Jitsu practice.
