Mini Ep. 29: Alignment Over Position

Steve Kwan

In this week's mini-episode we explain alignment over position.  This is a refinement on the classic "position over submission" concept using Rob Biernacki's alignment framework.  It teaches us that having good alignment (base, posture, and structure) is more important than having any particular position.
