Steve and Matt explore the three core mechanics of Jiu-Jitsu: Frames, Levers, and Wedges.  All techniques in Jiu-Jitsu can be defined in terms of these mechanics.Frames: Creating solid structures with the strong parts of your body, such as your elbows and knees.  You use these frames to create obstacles for your opponent and control the distance.Levers: Latching onto an opponent's limb and manipulating it for leverage.  Submissions are generally applied against a lever.Wedges: Using parts of your body to block and restrict your opponent's movement.  Wedges can also be used offensively, as in the case of knee on belly, where the knee is a wedge.We maintain an online database of the mental models governing Jiu-Jitsu at: bjjmentalmodels.comGet Jake O'Driscoll's triple threat ankle lock course, FREE:https://bjjmentalmodels.com/jake
