Ep. 72: Technique Chaining

BJJ Mental Models

As we've learned from Street Fighter, combos are important. A single technique in isolation is not as effective as a series of chained attacks. There are two ways you can chain attacks together: in a sequence, or in parallel. **Mental models discussed in this episode:** - Technique Chaining [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/technique-chaining/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/technique-chaining/)- Theory of Alignment [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/theory-of-alignment/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/theory-of-alignment/)- Alignment over Position [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/alignment-over-position/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/alignment-over-position/)- Kuzushi [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/kuzushi/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/kuzushi/)- Predictable Responses [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/predictable-responses/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/predictable-responses/)- Dictate the Pace [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/dictate-the-pace/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/dictate-the-pace/)- Committed Techniques [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/committed-techniques/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/committed-techniques/)- Controlling the Distance [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/controlling-the-distance/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/controlling-the-distance/)- Grips Dictate Position [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/grips-dictate-position/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/grips-dictate-position/)- Placeholders [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/placeholders/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/placeholders/)- Dilemma [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/dilemma/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/dilemma/)- Funneling [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/funneling/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/funneling/)- Double Trouble [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/double-trouble/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/double-trouble/)- Myopia [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/myopia/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/myopia/)- Train with Purpose [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/train-with-purpose/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/train-with-purpose/)- Mask Your Intentions [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/mask-your-intentions/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/mask-your-intentions/) **IMPORTANT: BJJ Mental Models needs your help.** In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the future for Steve and Matt is uncertain.

Ep. 70: Staying Loose

BJJ Mental Models

Learning to stay loose is one of the quickest ways to improve your Jiu-Jitsu. This week, Steve and Matt explain the importance of staying loose, how to develop awareness of when you're too tense, and when it's appropriate to use tension. Why you should stay loose: - It masks your intentions- It saves energy and prevents muscle burnout- It denies your opponent leverage. When it's okay to use tension: - When you're doing so for a reason- When your tension cannot be exploited. **Mental models discussed in this episode:** - Staying Loose [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/staying-loose/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/staying-loose/)- Microtransitions [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/microtransitions/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/microtransitions/)- Mask Your Intentions [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/mask-your-intentions/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/mask-your-intentions/)- Mindfulness [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/mindfulness/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/mindfulness/)- Core Mechanics [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/core-mechanics/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/core-mechanics/)- Kuzushi [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/kuzushi/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/kuzushi/)- Force Compression [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/force-compression/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/force-compression/)- Choking Mechanics [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/choking-mechanics/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/choking-mechanics/)- Breaking Mechanics [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/breaking-mechanics/](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/breaking-mechanics/) **IMPORTANT: BJJ Mental Models needs your help.** In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the future for Steve and Matt is uncertain.
