Ep. 285: Pulling the Trigger, feat. Dr. Jooyoung Lee

Steve Kwan Episode 285

This week we're joined by Dr. Jooyoung Lee!  Jooyoung is a BJJ black belt, a Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, and an accredited expert in the sociological study of violence.  In this episode, Jooyoung discusses the science behind "pulling the trigger" when grappling, how to be more aggressive in the moment, and how to avoid becoming flustered in the face of your opponent's aggression.
