Episode 20: How to get better when you're getting smashed | Rolling with people much more skilled than you | How to win when you know you'll lose

from Open Mat Podcast · host Tim Nelson & Adam

At some point in our Jiu Jitsu career, we run into one or more training partners we're completely helpless against. In this episode, Tim and Adam discuss what to do when the skill gap between you and your partner is too great for rounds to be competitive, and how to still improve in those rounds. They discuss how to approach them differently, why focusing on survival is never the answer, and even what you can gain from these rounds that you can't gain from others.If you like what you hear, don't forget we have an Instagram page at open.matpodcast!
