• Ep. 352: Arm Drag Concepts, feat. Niamh Bryn

  This week we're joined by Niamh Bryn, owner of Snowblind BJJ in Seattle! In this episode, Niamh explores the versatility and depth of the arm drag, and why it's more than just a beginner move. We explain its role as an opening salvo to create reactions, off-balances, and angles rather than an all-or-nothing attempt at taking the back.Follow Snowblind BJJ on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/snowblind_bjjTrain with Niamh at Snowblind BJJ:https://snowblindbjj.net/Mental models discussed in this episode:Technique Chaininghttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/technique-chaining/Static vs. Dynamic Controlhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/static-vs-dynamic-control/Crossing the Centerhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/crossing-the-center/Mask Your Intentionshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/mask-your-intentions/Opening Salvoshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/opening-salvos/Committed Techniqueshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/committed-techniques/Direct vs. Proxy Controlhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/direct-vs-proxy-control/Dominant Angleshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/dominant-angles/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.

• Ep. 351: Injury Prehab, feat. Dr. Mike Piekarski

  This week, we're joined again by “Doctor Kickass” Mike Piekarski: physiotherapist, BJJ black belt, online course creator, and instructor! In this episode, Mike discusses injury mitigation, or “prehab,” for grapplers. We explore how injuries commonly occur in Jiu-Jitsu through joint locks, scrambles, takedowns, and ego-driven decisions, and emphasize the importance of situational awareness, tapping culture, and coach-led environments that normalize safety.Follow Mike on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/doctor_kickassGet Mike's Kinstretch courses:https://linktr.ee/doctor_kickassMental models discussed in this episode:Static vs. Dynamic Controlhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/static-vs-dynamic-control/Compatible Intenthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/compatible-intent/Normalizationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/normalization/Return on Investmenthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/return-on-investment/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.
