How do you know when to attack?  It's actually pretty simple math!!

In this episode I share the "what's the score" concept that I learned  from Rob Biernacki.

At any given point in time both you and your opponent have a score, determined from your base, posture and structure.  The relative score tells you whether an attack will succeed or fail. This is a very useful idea and it will allow you to create and recognise opportunities for your sweeps, submissions and guard passes!
