Episode 314 - Should You Always Focus On Position Before Submission In BJJ?

On this episode, we answer the question of whether you should always focus on “position before submission” in Jiu-Jitsu.

We discuss getting chokes without solidifying a position, using leg locks, advantageous positions that aren’t the “traditional”BJJ positions, the benefits of position before submission for beginners, how submissions are initiated through transitions, how tournament rules dictate the grappling style, a rule that is commonly broken in Jiu-Jitsu, and the importance of being coachable.
