After four minutes of being flattened in bottom side control, you’ve finally secured your hard-earned dominant position. The absolute last thing you want to do is let your opponent escape, and take you back to square one. So the question is, how can you maintain control?

If you’re a parent you’ve likely seen your child face their own setbacks: hesitation to start something new, difficulty paying attention, making friends, or enduring the physical challenge of it all. The good news? Setbacks aren’t all bad.
