Mission control tips....

[Jay Chow]

Fuck the medicine ball, just work it in training. Every time you pull Mission Control, keep it held down tight and squeeze as much as you can without obviously gassing out.

It's about developing the squeeze on resisting opponents and working through the system of moves. Every time you do it, your squeeze will improve, regardless of whether you sweep, submit, or do nothing at all with it and have to try something else.

Totally disagree in regards to medicine ball squeezing. That’s like saying there’s no need for stretching and working additional core strength and cardio, because you'll get all the need from rolling. Each is a individual skill set than needs specificity training, along with practical applications i.e. rolling.

Training time is just that. Additional specificity training of individual skill sets is what takes those skills to the next level.

Okay, maybe "fuck the medicine ball" was the wrong choice of words. My point is that it is more important to drill and work your squeeze on an actual partner first and getting to understand the little details of the squeeze, especially as you go through the path. But, working a Rubber Guard squeeze on a medicine ball in your spare time will definitely improve your leg curls, and it's also a great tool for your chokes and when you workout your abs.

Many of you guys do yoga then? You recommend it?

If you've never done yoga, hit that wii shit. Honestly it's a great way to start. Then I moved on to some youtube Rebel yoga. Winna winna chicken dinna!

Thanks heaps everyone. All you 10th planet guys have been awesome. A real pleasure and so helpful too. Found a yoga place yesterday, seems to be the best in the area. Going to first class next week. :-)

So are you guys saying when pulling rubber guard starting in mission control it is best to angle your hips to the side of the leg that's up being hooked by your hand? Ex: left leg up hooked by my right hand while I angle my hips and body to the left? ...... So kinda a similar andge that would be needed for a perfect textbook triangle. Thanks!
