#296 Mike Mahaffey: The 2 Concepts that Change Jiu-Jitsu | Base and Pressure

From I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

Mike Mahaffey(@OldBastardBJJ) has made a name for himself by helping other "old bastard" grapplers stay on the mat consistently.

He recently joined the show to talk some ideas on longevity but after getting to train together I thought it would be even more fun to talk about how the right techniques and concepts make longevity possible.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
