Mini Ep. 42: Body Tethering

In this week's mini-episode, we explain body tethering!  When you clamp onto your opponent as you would via closed guard or a triangle choke, make sure that YOU control THEIR body's alignment, not the other way around.  If they still have alignment they can pick you up, stack you, or slam you, which are especially dangerous if you're smaller.  Don't be a tetherball!
