This week in advanced gi we will focus on putting the finishing touches on our 50/50 leg lock system and really make sure it is dialed in and understand how each plays off the last. This will be a week to focus on getting reps in!

🤣🤣🤣

I always look at the defense when I want to learn a new move. It helps me learn what to watch for as I learn the move. I think you're right, you'd have some great attacks after a year of defending!

Thomas Rozdzynski what are you picking?

I think I'd pick arm bars. I probably spent 2-3 months very early on as a white belt getting caught in these all the time (especially by 1 person). I'd always leave an arm dangling in closed guard.I learned a lot during those 3 months especially about awareness of where my hands and arms were placed. Eventually I stopped getting arm barred at will. I think it would be interesting to revisit it 10 years later with a new experience set and see what I could learn.  

Could always see if Craig Jones is around too! Could be a fun time.

This week advanced gi will continue to build our 50/50 leg lock attacks. We will be focusing on the aoki lock and trouble shooting a bit from last week too. Miss the last few weeks? This is the perfect spot to jump in!

I didn't even consider YouTube as a way. But I feel you more hear about podcasts. Sounds like we have the start of a future poll!

I definitely can see why you think a blue belt vs a black belt made the difference.A blue belt is closer to where you are currently. Their memory of the experiences you are going through is fresher too. I think it helps make them more relatable too.It's great how many people have been brought to jiu jitsu by podcasts. Maybe we should start a poll?
