TFS#129: Tiny Changes Everyday

In partnership with

Starting tomorrow, you'll be receiving a short email with one topic of Jiu-Jitsu every morning, Mondays through Fridays.

This way, you can better absorb and boost your retention to techniques.

I’ll share more details in my Closing Thoughts below.

For now, a (very) quick word from today’s sponsor:

You’re going to spend the rest of your life on your feet.

Take care of them now.

With that, let’s move on to today’s topics…

TECHNIQUE OF THE WEEK

Last week, we talked about how not to get Ankle Locked.

Learning to transition defenses

The best way to defend against a submission is to not let yourself get there.

Okay, that wasn’t super helpful.

But you still need to learn last second defenses.

Here’s one for the Armbar.

JIU-JITSU LONGEVITY

One of the most neglected parts of the body during training is hip mobility.

It’s what stabilizes your core and knees.

Weak hips can lead to lower back, knee, or even ankle issues.

Here’s an easy 12-minute follow-along.

CLOSING THOUGHT

I mentioned earlier about tweaking the format of this newsletter.

But don't worry, I'm still going to run this regular Sunday newsletter and it'll also include the topics shared throughout the week, so you won’t miss a thing.

Change can be scary, but it’s also necessary for growth.

How you learn might change, but the goal stays the same.

See you on the mats,

Wayne

P.S. If you don’t like the sound of it and want to stick to the regular format, reply to this email with “Sunday.”
