It’s a new day and John Danaher is back at it dropping more knowledge. This time he was talking about the hardest body position to sweep, and the hardest body position to submit from. Perhaps the main takeaway from this is that they’re quite different.
As he put it, “Question 1: What is the most difficult type of body posture to sweep? Answer: extended/spread limbs that create wide base with lowered center of gravity. Question 2: What is the most difficult body posture to attack with submissions? Answer: retracted limbs held close to the torso.”
Basically, those with spread, wide legs are harder to sweep compared to feet close together. In terms of submissions, tucking your limbs and head close in to your body are also difficult, compared to isolated, open body parts. Danaher then added “ALWAYS TRY TO CREATE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FUNDAMENTAL POSITION/SUBMISSION DILEMMA AS IT APPLIES TO POSTURE.”
