Chewy and Eugene share 10 ideas on why you should master defense and escapes in BJJ. Here are the ideas we discussed: 1. To escape effectively, you will have less fear and worries on the mat. 2. When you become skilled defensively, you can become more aggressive with your offense. 3. Increased efficiency on the mats. 4. When you avoid training escapes then you turn into a grappler with a "glass jaw." 5. When you develop a strong defensive game, your submissions improve dramatically. 6. You get injured less when you have a good understanding of defense. 7. You can tire out your opponent more easily. 8. You will be able to weather the storm against younger and more athletic grapplers. 9. Grappling becomes more fun. 10. If you're a competitor, it gets more difficult to get scored on.

Everyone *hates* stalling—until they realize it’s actually strategy. In this episode, I(@thejoshmckinney) breaks down why the best competitors know when to slow the game down, how to use the clock as a weapon, and why “winning is winning” (shoutout Dom Toretto). Learn how to control pace, protect your energy, and make *less* Jiu-Jitsu happen when it matters most. 🎙️ **What You’ll Learn:** - The real definition of strategy in Jiu-Jitsu- How to manage limited resources (energy, grips, time)- Why stalling exists in every clock-based sport- How to practice and defend against stalling - The mindset shift that separates winners from “moral victors” Guard passing seminar: [https://youtu.be/aDAwqBVoDP4](https://youtu.be/aDAwqBVoDP4) The Jiu Jitsu Games: [https://youtu.be/88pNKjbzswM]( https://youtu.be/88pNKjbzswM) Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles, feat.
