    Ep. 115: The BITE Model and Influence Continuum, feat. Matt "Aesopian" Kirtley Mar 08, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, Steve is joined by Matt Kirtley, best known as Aesopian. In addition to being a moderator of Reddit's /r/bjj and a long-time Jiu-Jitsu blogger, Matt is a critic of martial arts cults. Matt joins us today to discuss the BITE (behavior, information, thought, emotional control) Model and influence continuum.
    The BITE Model and influence continuum are concepts defined by cult expert Steven Hassan. They can help identify whether an organization's influence is positive or negative. They're a great way to determine if you or a loved one are being manipulated by a cult or cult-like organization.

    Ep. 111: Position Series: Knee on Belly Feb 08, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, Steve and Matt dive into knee on belly and break down the position using the mental models we discuss on the show.
    Uke's predictable responses from knee on belly:

    • Getting to their side - either turning toward or away from you
    • Attacking your feet
    • Getting their foot on your hip or inverting into a leg entanglement


    Critical control points for knee on belly:

    • Maintaining good foot position. No gaps between your shoelaces and their hip. Don't let them grab your legs, especially the free leg.
    • Keeping a lower squat, ideally an elbow-knee connection, to close access to your hip and leg.
    • Keeping their shoulders parallel to the floor.
