#21 How to Get the Most out of Sparring with Lower Belts and Newbies
Show Notes

In this episode, we talk about how to get the most out of rolling with people who aren't as skilled as you. Josh recently had a surprisingly "successful" sparring session and was wondering if he should've practiced defensive skills like pin escapes from side control rather than choking out other newbies. We cover topics and the approach from top, bottom, the role that motivation and fun play into this question, and how to roll with smaller people too. Hope you enjoy!
