Like my professor tells me all the time – BJJ is a game of space and you are either creating it or occupying it. The problem is that when someone is on top of you occupying a lot of space there it can be tough to create enough for you to move.

Few things suck as much as getting crushed in Mount. Someone who knows what they are doing can make life really miserable and shut down almost all of your escape attempts.

Few movements are as important to us on the mats as having a strong bridge. Being able to lift your hips off the mat is essential to creating the space we need to move around on the bottom and a key movement to a lot of techniques.
