Here is a good question for you guys… For those who have trained 2+ years: what keeps you coming back?

What’s you preference when starting standing?

Guard pull

Judo

Wrestling

I’m a fan of guard pulling because I ultimately want to end up with my partner in my guard.

Coming off that stellar takedown and Americana don’t exist workshop, with coach Dan Bianchi. My BJJ question of the day is… When you’re setting up a takedown, what do you focus on first—grips, posture, or distance? Tell us why!

Myself, I focus on connection maybe too frequently. That being grips of some kind or connections collar tie wrist etc. However after that amazing workshop and fantastic uke (lol). I would have to say I need work on all three. They all need to be equally distributed.
