How confident are you in your stand-up game? It’s a question that often goes unasked, but it’s one that can make a significant difference in your Jiu-Jitsu practice. 

Do you have a go-to takedown? Are you a guard puller?

Understanding and developing your stand-up game is crucial for a well-rounded Jiu-Jitsu practice. 

If you don’t have a go-to takedown (like Jen) or guard pull, this episode is for you!

We'll explore different approaches to stand-up, from judo-inspired takedowns to wrestling techniques, and discuss how to find the right fit for your style and body type. 

This episode is packed with actionable steps to help you feel more confident and competent on your feet. 

The Highlight Reel

Experimentation is Key: Try out various stand-up techniques to find what works best for you. Consistency Matters: Regular practice and drilling are essential to mastering any takedown.

Adaptability: Be prepared to adjust your techniques based on your opponent's reactions and your own strengths.

Purposeful Guard Pulling: If you choose to pull guard, do it with intention and strategy, not out of fear or frustration.

Community Support: Engaging with your gym community and seeking advice from experienced practitioners can significantly improve your stand-up game.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
