If you still “gas” when the pressure hits, you’re breathing wrong.

Today, I (@thejoshmckinney) sit down with Glyn Podwitch (@glynpowditch). Glyn breaks down practical breathwork for BJJ—how to brace in crushing positions (scarf hold, neon belly), inflate to survive triangles, and use exhale timing to escape without panicking.

We also get into Rickson-inspired rib mobility, why many yogis still tap to pressure, and how to build calm strength on the mats.

What you’ll learn:

The simple “fill + brace” cue that makes you harder to crush.

When to exhale vs. inhale under top pressure (and why it matters).

A starter progression for pressure-proof breathing (safe, scalable).

Intercostal/rib mobility that helps longevity and defense.

Why relaxed players feel impossibly heavy
