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