Mini Ep. 36: Waypoints

Steve Kwan

In this week's mini-episode we explain waypoints, also known as "pitstops."  Waypoints are positions of power where you are particularly well-trained, and feel comfortable that you can outgun your opponent due to experience and skill within the position.  Waypoints aren't necessarily the common point-scoring positions, but can instead be "positions within positions" that occur along the way.  Examples of common waypoints include the split squat, double unders, and topside quarter guard.
