The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 85: The Junny Lock Feat. Edwin “Junny” Ocasio

One of the lowest hanging fruit you can obtain to live a happier and more productive life is to practice gratitude every day. We go through life taking some of our most precious things for granted; our jobs, health, and families. Being grateful for what you have is something we can all do a bit better. They say the grass is always greener on the other side, and this is profoundly accurate. Episode topics are avoiding grudges, the importance of setbacks, bullying and social hierarchy, using gratitude to be more productive, maintaining relationships, victim consciousness, and how to practice gratitude on a daily basis.

This week’s episode is all about the importance of good posture. I first define what posture is, and then I discuss the difference between concave and convex posture, how different scenarios require different postures, and how you can manage the distance and self-frame your guard using a convex posture. The self-framing method will help you retain your supine guard and form better connections to your opponent with your legs. Other topics discussed are scaling back training as we age (while still improving) and the importance of failure when developing skills.Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.
