This week’s episode is all about the importance of good posture. I first define what posture is, and then I discuss the difference between concave and convex posture, how different scenarios require different postures, and how you can manage the distance and self-frame your guard using a convex posture. The self-framing method will help you retain your supine guard and form better connections to your opponent with your legs. Other topics discussed are scaling back training as we age (while still improving) and the importance of failure when developing skills.Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.
