TECHNICA: GRIP FIGHTING
It’s a battle of acquisition and denial, a game that was always inside the one you’ve been playing this whole time.

TECHNICA: NORTH SOUTH
Look into almost anything deeply enough and you can separate external influences—size, strength, a satisfaction with clumsy victory over honed execution—from the mechanisms that make it work.

TECHNICA: BOW & ARROW CHOKE
A pale detail and an advantage in hand, in a low and desolate spot between truth and consequence.

TECHNICA: KNEEBAR
Latching onto a kneebar has long meant you’re someone who speaks a more profane language.
