A concept to make escaping pins and bad positions on the ground much easier.

And while you’re here, it’s a sad state of affairs that the BJJ community is so particularly vulnerable to reflexive conspiratorial thinking. Yes, there have been conspiracies in this world, but no, not everything is a conspiracy!!

If you’re driven crazy by reflexive conspiracism as well, then check out The Strenuous Life Podcast for a dose of data-driven BJJ and occasional rants about approaching the world through the lens of science. On Youtube the channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxFCWZJbnlRyhw3vmDx0Rlg
