Steve Kwan

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.

In this mini-episode, we discuss head position, or how to tell if your head and neck are at risk in jiu-jitsu. We use a 3-point framework to determine if our head is safe:

  1. Avoid constriction (be safe from squeezing),
  2. Avoid impact (be safe from blunt force trauma), and
  3. Avoid broken posture (be safe from neck misalignment).
