Steve and Matt explore the three core mechanics of Jiu-Jitsu: Frames, Levers, and Wedges. All techniques in Jiu-Jitsu can be defined in terms of these mechanics. **Frames:**Creating solid structures with the strong parts of your body, such as your elbows and knees. You use these frames to create obstacles for your opponent and control the distance. **Levers:**Latching onto an opponent's limb and manipulating it for leverage. Submissions are generally applied against a lever.**Wedges:**Using parts of your body to block and restrict your opponent's movement. Wedges can also be used offensively, as in the case of knee on belly, where the knee is a wedge.
