On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss why you should stop being so nice with your BJJ.
We discuss the importance of using pressure with your techniques, ideas on how to properly apply pressure, your intentions when applying pressure, how to recognize a student with "bad intentions," the factors that impact aggressiveness in training, using BJJ to deal with anger and to use intensity in a contained way, training techniques vs. competition techniques, having the ability to shift gears in BJJ, when not to use pressure in training, why there is power in failure, and how to you develop the ability to be more aggressive in BJJ.
