Summary

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the importance of building a strong defensive side control to create a better offensive Jiu-Jitsu game.

We discuss how initially we focus on bottom side control defense as newer grapplers, but eventually stop focusing on this part of our game. We also discuss why having poor defense can make your offense less effective, how a solid defense will improve your submission rate in competition, why confidence in your escapes works like a safety net, why grapplers panic in bottom side control, the first step in getting better at side control escapes, why Chewy decided to start focusing on his bottom side control escapes as a BJJ brown belt, the biggest and most common mistakes in relation to escapes and defense, and the importance of mastering a handful of techniques.

0:00.0	What up, guys. Welcome to the Jiu-Jitsu podcast number. It's a lot.
0:03.9	316, right?
0:05.0	Stone Cold Steve Austin episode.
0:06.9	That's what we're talking about today. Buckle up.
0:10.4	That's interesting that, you know, maybe 30-something years ago, you probably would have called it the Jesus 360, you know, the John 316 episode.
0:17.9	Now it's Austin 316. That's what we know about. Yeah, drinking beers.
0:26.7	But anyway, today's episode is going to be on side control escapes so it's one of two-part episode that we'll be doing the second part if you're listening to this any time on the week
0:33.5	of Monday the 17th of June, 2004. We'll be doing a
0:39.0	Chiu-Jitsu podcast live on Friday.
0:42.8	That's June the 21st, around 6 p.m. Eastern standard time.
0:47.1	And we'll be doing the second part of this show. So,
0:49.5	shameless plug, this is going to be kind of going over some ideas from
0:52.7	a course that I'm getting ready to
0:54.6	release on side control, scabes, guard retention, defense, things like that. It's a super important
0:59.3	part of Jiu-Jitsu, probably one of the most important parts that a lot of times it goes overlooked.
1:05.3	People do just the bare necessities to it, and they kind of move on. And, you know, today I'm going
1:10.7	to share some ideas on maybe why that's not the best thing to do.
1:13.8	And we'll also talk about the defensive side and why it's so important if you want to be really good at offense.
1:19.5	Because when it comes down to it, what do we all want to do? We all want to submit people, right?
1:23.4	We all want to put people into submissions, get our hand raised in competitions, walk off the mat and feel like we got the better of the exchange. We all want to do that.
1:31.5	That's what we do when we're in the gym, right? And so it takes a little bit of rewiring and
1:37.7	rethinking, but one of the ways to make that happen is to actually go back and do the other side
