Mini Ep. 27: Inside vs. Outside Channel Control
In this week's mini-episode we discuss two important and related concepts: inside channel control and outside channel control. Inside channel control refers to taking the inside route around your opponent's weapons, such as going under or between their legs as you'd do with X guard. Outside channel control refers to taking the outside route around your opponent's weapons, such as outside hook / de la Riva guard, closed guard, and matrix back takes.

    Wish I could give this episode more than one thumbs up. You unpacked lot of good stuff from learning dynamics to role of the instructor. If you get a chance read a bit of Paulo Freire’s theory about banking model of education vs problem based learning. I think it relates well to Eco and IP models.
