151 - Concept of "What's the Score" to Know When and How to Attack!
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
How do you know when to attack? It's actually pretty simple math!!
In this episode I share the "what's the score" concept that I learned from Rob Biernacki.
At any given point in time both you and your opponent have a score, determined from your base, posture and structure. The relative score tells you whether an attack will succeed or fail. This is a very useful idea and it will allow you to create and recognise opportunities for your sweeps, submissions and guard passes!
