Mini Ep. 42: Body Tethering

BJJ Mental Models

In this week's mini-episode, we explain **body tethering!** When you clamp onto your opponent as you would via closed guard or a triangle choke, make sure that YOU control THEIR body's alignment, not the other way around. If they still have alignment they can pick you up, stack you, or slam you, which are especially dangerous if you're smaller. Don't be a tetherball!

Tapping In Ep.91: One Night In Bangkok

This week the guys talk about Miguels most recent endeavor with ONE FC. Hear all about how he got the call and chance to referee the BIGGEST comeback in BJJ history.

Feb 12, 2025 · 1:50:17 · Listen

Paul Kindzia describes himself as a "homeschooled, non-denominational, it takes a village black belt" and had a very unique route to getting his BJJ black belt. He was a ronin, training at different schools and did a lot of his training in his home dojo. This paid off because he was a top IBJJF Masters competitor at blue, purple, and brown belt, before being awarded his black belt by a coalition of other black belts (myself included) in October of 2024. In this episode we talk about so many things, including - How to get really good if you don't train at a top-tier school - Key aspects of training safely - How to say no to training with people who don't have your best interests at heart - What you need to do to calibrate your skills if you mainly train one-on-one - Cult-like dynamics at some BJJ schools - What professional BJJ competitors do that sets them apart - How to get promoted if you train independently - How jiu-jitsu training has changed in the last 10 years - And so much more. For more about Paul's jiu-jitsu journey check out his site, The Balanced Grappler (https://www.thebalancedgrappler.com/) and his book, Master Jiu-Jitsu, Master Life (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Jiu-Jitsu-Life-Extraordinary-Through/dp/069216197X) Please give this episode a thumbs up and share it with someone else you think might enjoy it.
