Many times when you learn a technique it's all about drilling and muscle memory until you have mastered the move. But what good is learning a technique if you don't understand why or how it works. Kit Dale and Nic Gregoriades bring you a new spin on learning with the Beyond Technique: Concept Focused BJJ.  It will teach you to think conceptually and approach grappling from a new angle, helping you understand why you are using that technique.  All together there are twenty concepts shown with approximately 40 techniques.
