Show Notes Chapter Markers

Having an effective top game in Jiu Jitsu is directly correlated with the integrity of your base. In this week’s podcast, I discuss concepts and strategies that will help you improve your top game; layers of guard, half guard passing, camping, blading, and pinning. I hope you can use this episode to absolutely terrorize your training partners from the top position!
