This week we're joined again by Emily Kwok!  Emily is a peak performance consultant and multi-time BJJ black belt world champion representing Marcelo Garcia.  In this episode, Emily introduces polarity mapping: a powerful tool for understanding nuance and breaking through either/or thinking.  We discuss polarities in Jiu-Jitsu, such as: tension/slack, fast/slow, retraction/extension, holding on/letting go, and concepts/techniques.Emily's website:https://www.emilykwok.com/Emily's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/emilykwokbjjResources discussed in this episode:BJJMM Ep. 121: Kegan's Theory of Adult Development, feat.
