Ep. 232: Mental Models for Featherweights, feat. Josh "Kintanon" Wentworth

This week we're joined by Josh "Kintanon" Wentworth!  Josh is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, the head instructor at Apex MMA in Georgia, and a longtime presence on forums like Bullshido and Reddit.  Josh is a small guy in a gym full of giants, and normally competes at light featherweight.  In this episode, Josh shares concepts and strategies for smaller grapplers who want to be effective against much larger opponents.Troll Josh on Reddit:https://reddit.com/u/kintanonTrain with Josh at Apex MMA in Georgia:https://www.apexconyers.com/Mental models discussed in this episode:Types of Guardhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/types-of-guard/Body Tetheringhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/body-tethering/Elbow-Knee Connectionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/elbow-knee-connection/Return on Investmenthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/return-on-investment/Overwhelming Forcehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/overwhelming-force/Static vs. Dynamic Controlhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/static-vs-dynamic-control/Force Vectorshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/force-vectors/Surface Areahttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/surface-area/You Are What You Trainhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/you-are-what-you-train/Grips Dictate Positionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/grips-dictate-position/Asymmetric Warfarehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/asymmetric-warfare/Prioritize Longevityhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/prioritize-longevity/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.
