At the Labs everything is done in introduction (e.g. armbar from closed guard 4-5 times with no resistance then 4-5 times with moderate resistance), isolation (drills that start from the position...

hahahaha! That's hillarious :D

Well said. I recently wrote a post called the "Lies in BJJ and Grappling in General" which is the first of 5 where I discuss lies I have been told in BJJ that shaped my outlook on the art. In that...
