On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss a book Chewy has been reading titled "The Pyjama Game" and discuss an idea from the book on the unique take Japanese Judokas take to martial arts. We discuss how the Japanese Judokas had a great ability to relax while being thrown which allowed them to commit to throws and takedowns with less fear because of their ability to take a throw and survive without getting injured. When this idea of survival is taken towards Jiu-Jitsu, you get to see how having the ability to relax and then also get out of bad positions will allow you to be more aggressive and go after your techniques. We also discuss why you have to put yourself in bad positions, why "looking at success leaves clues," the rewarding feeling of getting out of uncomfortable positions in BJJ, starting with defense first, common areas where people struggle when working defensively from a bad position, the mental attitude to take into account when starting a new activity, developing timing for BJJ, setting the right expectations, being thoughtful with escapes, how much time to spend training in bad positions, and why you must have a "Jiu-Jitsu filter."

The Twister Submission from Side Control I was first introduced to this technique back in 2002 while training at Chris Brennans Next Generation Jiu Jitsu in Irvine, California. No matter how many times I got caught in this submission or had it explained to me I could never understand how to do it, it took years for me to figure out how to do it properly and I think that has made me better able to explain it & teach it to my own students. #bjj #melbournemartialarts #brazilianjiujitsu #melbournejiujitsu #bjjmelbourne #jiujitsu #jiujitsu #dkmma #melbournebjj
