About this episode
This mini-episode discusses the concept of double trouble in jiu-jitsu, emphasizing the importance of controlling both near-side and far-side limbs.
In this mini-episode, we discuss double trouble, a concept popularized by John Danaher. Double trouble teaches us that to fully control a near-side limb, we must also control a far-side limb.
