Ep. 393: Submission Series: The Woj Lock 2.0, feat Chris Wojcik

BJJ Mental Models

About

This week, we're joined again by Chris Wojcik! In this episode, Chris rebuilds his approach to the Woj Lock around a few guiding concepts instead of a catalog of techniques. Topics include: the three points of control, proximal vs. distal control, redefining what counts as fundamental, and training leg locks through games instead of memorization.
