#59 How Can I Maximize Mat Time and Sparring?
Episode 59
dimanche 3 décembre 2023 • Duration 22:38
In this episode, we revisit the question of maximizing open sparring. At most gyms, there's a portion of class dedicated to open sparring, and how to truly gain the most during that time. For beginners, we feel like most of open sparring is spent in so many positions, it can be challenging to close the loop on specific positions or lessons of what works and what doesn't. We discuss Jake's advice on how to ask questions and use conversation with our training partners to get the most learning from open sparring. Hope you enjoy!

Episode 55
dimanche 5 novembre 2023 • Duration 31:37
In this episode, we talk about learning to focus, prioritize, and plan what skill areas to work on. There's a balance between jumping into something new every class vs sticking with one skill for way too long. We discuss watching instructionals, working on offense vs defense, the fun factor, and balancing the technique of the day in class. There are unlimited techniques to focus on, how many is too many at once? How do we get more intentional? These are questions we try to tackle. Hope you enjoy!
