Mini Ep. 112: Coiling
from BJJ Mental Models · host Steve Kwan
In this mini-episode, we discuss coiling, or retracting your limbs and neck. It denies access to our body's vulnerable levers and positions us to explosively generate force. Staying coiled is a smart "default" position if you're not sure what to do. But there are times when you need to uncoil, and that is when: #1: there's a productive reason to do so, and #2: you can do so safely and without giving up a lever.
