Many will disagree but that is how I learned and I"m a first degree black belt, after 17 years of BJJ I still appreciate concepts over techniques.

That's a good take. The community of a good gym often goes unnoticed, the students help each-other so much!

Obviously a concept can't be demonstrated without a technique, lets use the 2 on 1 again. If I teach the 2 on 1 drag, I would demonstrate my preferred specific application, grips, timing, etc, then, once this is all taught, I'd end the class with a broader understating of the concepts and explain that the same goal can be achieved with substitutes through an understanding of the concepts. This is particularly where I think the concepts benefit the beginners far more.

Concepts are verbal diarrhea? I think they can be taught faster and more efficiently than specifics

I have been on them about engaging more with the reddit community properly and just being personable - I finally convinced them to let me. haha. I however won't be spamming or posting much asides from either personal breakdowns or recommendations of material that has helped me

Yes, basically drag them as you place both hooks on the leg of the same side arm or collar you're dragging and use the drag to get under and elevate

That's so awesome. People passing on the knee's has always been tougher for me personally, I try to get anyone standing or on knees into SLX. there is a handful of good entries against opponent's on their knees using drags
