On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss 5 traits of successful grapplers.

We discuss the following ideas:

Know when to go and when to chill (also to focus on breathing and decreasing tunnel vision).
Focus on small battles (grips, hand fighting, and inside position).
Train with deliberate intent (don't try to win every round and don't be a needy grappler).
Be able to relax in bad spots.
Know when to go and when to give ground (don't fight to the death on every position).

Bonus Idea: Play the long game.
