    3. watch competition video
    4. creativity

    Ep. 90: Expertise, feat. Rob Biernacki Sep 14, 2020
    Show notes

    This week, Steve is once again joined by Rob Biernacki from Island Top Team. If you follow Rob, you know how passionate he is about respecting expertise and calling out impostors. We live in a world where identifying expertise is harder - and more important - than ever. In this episode, we give you the tools to do so.
    When assessing an expert, beware these red flags:

    • Does the expert speak with 100% certainty at all times?
    • Does the expert avoid disclosing the limits of their knowledge?
    • Does the expert try to win arguments with quantity instead of quality? (the Gish gallop)
    • Does your expert cherry-pick facts to support their position, while disregarding evidence to the contrary?
    • Is the expert unwilling to entertain criticism?
    • Does the expert speak in overly simple, black-or-white terms?
    • Does the expert rely solely on their title or rank to justify their opinion?
    • Does the expert speak on matters outside of their area of expertise?
    • Are there no "quality gatekeepers," such as publishers or fact-checkers, to ensure the expert is correct?
    • Do the majority of other experts speak poorly of this expert?
    • Has this expert conflated experience with expertise?

    Ep. 89: Open Guard Series: Seated Guards Sep 07, 2020
    Show notes

    This week, Steve and Matt talk about seated guards! Seated guards are a great way to track and harass your opponent from the bottom. In this episode, you'll also learn why supine guard is sometimes referred to as Ali-Inoki position - which is a much more dignified nickname than how seated guard is referred to as "buttscooting."

    Show notes

    This week, Steve and Matt talk about gi-based open guards! There are a lot of variations, including spider guard, collar and sleeve, and worm guard. The sheer number of grip configurations can be overwhelming. Rather than trying to memorize each variation, we suggest thinking in a concept-based approach. In this episode, we discuss how.
