#91 Greg Souders: What is Jiu Jitsu? Invariants and Priorities for Guard, Pins, Submissions, Standing, and Leg Entanglements

1-800-BJJ-HELP

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.
