On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss an important paradigm shift in BJJ. We discuss why BJJ practitioners initially get too fixated on making a technique work, but with experience and skill, you will need start to focus more on getting deeper into a position rather than a technique. Why also discuss why you should focus on purely holding position, thinking differently about what a "dominant" position is, "control before position," the best positions to control your opponent in BJJ, how to help less experienced grapplers focus more on position, the importance of keeping a consistent pace as an older grappler, positions older grapplers should be good at and positions to avoid, and watching matches to get inspiration for techniques and positions in BJJ.

On this episode of the podcast, we share some of the best moments from the podcast. In this edition, we dive into a recap of the "Rules For Jiu-Jitsu" series. We discuss the following rules: The Chewjitsu Podcast #225 - Rules For Jiu-Jitsu #10: Keep Your Training Private - We discuss why you should keep your training private.
