We're giving you a bonus episode because yesterday's release was an April Fools' Day joke. 🤣
This episode is the second in a new BJJ Mental Models Premium series: Grappling With Confidence. In this episode, we're joined by breakout star and 2023 ADCC European champion Jozef Chen! Jozef discusses the importance of confidence for building resilience, the challenges faced by high-profile grapplers, and strategies for compartmentalization.

This week we're joined again by Priit Mihkelson, formerly of Defensive BJJ! In this episode, Priit shares some shocking news: he is abandoning his study of defensive Jiu-Jitsu. We discuss Priit's new focus on 100% offensive BJJ, including topics such as: flash submissions, attacking from inside the guard, winning by injury stoppage, and biting mechanics.
