Ep. 273: Position as Submission, feat. Sebastian Brosche
About this episode
This week we're joined by black belt and Yoga for BJJ founder Sebastian Brosche! Sebastian joins us to break down one of our favorite strategies: position as submission. The meta is increasingly evolving to appreciate the importance of submission-level pressure. In this episode, we explain why that is and how to do it.
