Summary
Podium Photo Poses in BJJ

They discuss various poses, recommend leg and neck positioning, and talk about the cultural significance of different hand gestures in the sport, suggesting that personal style plays an important part in expressing joy at winning.
Strength and Mobility for Kids in BJJ
Next up is Chris, a proud parent inquiring about the right way to help his three kids, who train BJJ and engage in various sports, develop strength and mobility.
