    Ep. 124: Ratchet Control, feat. Matt Kwan May 03, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, Matt and Steve talk about ratchet control: a powerful mental model for using limb rotation to break alignment.
    There are two directions of ratchet control:

    1. Internal rotation: Kimuras, heel hooks, reaps
    2. External rotation: Americanas, knee flares.

    While both are effective, internal rotation normally breaks alignment more than external rotation. Internal rotation also offers a path to the back.

    Ep. 122: The 80/20 Rule, feat. Marcus Aurelius Anderson Apr 19, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're joined by Marcus Aurelius Anderson! Marcus is a performance coach, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author of "The Gift of Adversity." He joins us to discuss the 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto principle, and how its rigorous application can focus and change your life.
    In this episode, Marcus suggests these three steps for clarifying your priorities:

    1. Create a "power list" of 2-3 objectives for the day.
    2. Ask yourself: is what I’m doing right now getting me closer or further away from my goal?
    3. Be present and intentional.

    The worst episode of BJJ Mental Models ever. Mar 24, 2021
    Show notes

    Steve here. I told Rob Biernacki that we could record an episode on gripfighting and kuzushi to coincide with the release of his new instructional on the same topic. This was a big mistake.
    Rob could not get his mic working - which, of course, he blamed on our recording software. I later learned that he was recording from HIS MOM'S HOUSE, where I assume he was connecting via a 28 baud modem. I quickly gave up on this endeavor, so Rob enlisted the help of his cabin boy Rory van Vliet to provide the required tech support. This disasterpiece is the result.
    In this "episode," Rob and Rory introduce gripfighting and kuzushi, explain why they're important, and do a frankly awful job of trying to sell you on this new instructional. After suffering through this episode I am even less motivated than before to watch this instructional, and I got it for free!
    Rob was supposed to include a discount code, but he forgot, so we gave up on that. Jesus Christ.
