Ep. 292: The Paradox of Control, feat. Jesse Walker

This week we're joined by Jesse Walker!  Jesse is a black belt under Chris Haueter and is the head coach at Rough Hands BJJ in Louisville, Kentucky.  In this episode, Jesse introduces the paradox of control: a concept teaching us that in order to attack in Jiu-Jitsu, you must sometimes sacrifice control for movement.
