"Triangles are strong because of their inherent structural characteristics. The corner angles of a triangle cannot change without an accompanying change in the length of the edge. Therefore, an edge must collapse to change a triangle's shape."
In this episode, I share the importance of building a strong base as a White Belt. We do this when in someone's closed guard with good posture, hands on our opponent's hip bones, and by sitting on our active feet (balls of foot). We can also build triangle-like solid, strong shapes with our frames when someone is mounted on us or has us in side control.
Key takeaway: Don't just fall over because you are new

Made this episode as much for me as for the listener. Sometimes I get anxious when out of breath and rolling. I've even tapped out from it. I know I'm not alone. Neither are you if this has happened. The key is don't quit and keep showing up.

I missed a whole week of learning and rolling due to work recently. Hey, life happens.
So, in this short episode I share how it's important for us to stay active when out of Jiu Jitsu so we can be a bit more prepared when we return.

Sharing some feedback I gave on the r/bjj sub on @Reddit where someone asked about the difference between wrestling and submission grappling. Below is my summary and in this episode is a little history about how freestyle wrestling was integrated into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)
Wrestling: takedowns, throws and control to pin your opponentSubmission Grappling (No Gi): Wrestling + joint locks and chokes to submit your opponentGi Jiu Jitsu: Wrestling + Submission Grappling + Pajamas to submit your opponentAsk a question or give your BJJ guidance at https://kevtalkspod.com/you-jitsu-podcast-central/

"Kenneth T." shares his feedback from the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) group on LinkedIn.
Kenneth's feedback states BJJ White Belts should focus on fundamentals, not the "new squid/platypus guard sweep". I agree Kenneth!
Fundamentals go a long way. I've been swept and submitted by some of the old standards over 4 years way more than I have been by the latest hotness from BJJ in YouTube videos.
Thank you all for listening and remember...

We all got smashed as white belts. Heck I still get smashed as a blue belt regularly. I think it’s goodwill and uplifting though if you’re a blue belt or above to give the white belt to win every now and then. Are their arm bars a little slow and sloppy sometimes? Sure they are. But how do they feel if you’re rolling and you loosen up a little bit and they do the technique they learn and boom you tap to an arm bar.
They will realize when you actually roll or as they continue with Jiu Jitsu whether they can hit an arm bar with another hundred percent live opponent.

Practicing double and single leg take downs and throws hits the cardio and muscular endurance different than sitting down and starting around on your butt.
