Thursday, 30 April, 2026

We use a 3-point framework to determine if our head is safe:Avoid constriction (be safe from squeezing),Avoid impact (be safe from blunt force trauma), andAvoid broken posture (be safe from neck misalignment).Get our Intro to Mechanics audio course, normally $79, FREE:https://bjjmentalmodels.com/freeintro⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of jiu-jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!
