In this episode we discuss all things leg lock defense, we start the conversation discussing saddle / cross ashi, then move into straight ashi / single leg x, 90/10, 80/20, and 50/50. We mentioned the BJJ Mental Models episode on Open Guard Leg Entanglements and the Gordan Ryan vs Nicky Rod match as good resources to dive into related to the topic. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we talk to Greg Souders. We hope you can use this framework to help design practice on working certain skills of destabilization, isolation, and segmentation. We deep dive into his conceptual framework of what jiu jitsu is, and the invariants and priorities for the main scenarios in the game: Guard, Pinning, Submissions, Standing, and Leg Entanglements. At the end, we discuss external/internal focus of attention, and insights into Greg's reflections on the Deandre vs Ethan match at WNO 24.

Here's a link to Jake's Jozef Chen vs Elijah Dorsey analysis video.
