On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss 5 traits of successful grapplers.
We discuss the following ideas:
- Know when to go and when to chill (also to focus on breathing and decreasing tunnel vision). - Focus on small battles (grips, hand fighting, and inside position). - Train with deliberate intent (don't try to win every round and don't be a needy grappler). - Be able to relax in bad spots. - Know when to go and when to give ground (don't fight to the death on every position). Bonus Idea: Play the long game.
