About this episode
In this mini-episode, we discuss head position, or how to tell if your head and neck are at risk in jiu-jitsu. We use a 3-point framework to determine if our head is safe:
- Avoid constriction (be safe from squeezing),
- Avoid impact (be safe from blunt force trauma), and
- Avoid broken posture (be safe from neck misalignment).
