Today’s BJJ video is a useful strategy that will put you a step ahead of your opponents. You can implement this for pretty much any position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because it’s not specific to a technique. Instead it’s specific to a situation. That situation is whenever a change of position happens.

For example a sweep where a person comes up on top, a guard pass, a takedown, etc.

And during these situations there’s a point where you’ve sometimes lost the battle. You’re losing the back, you’re getting swept, and so on. And it’s at this point where you can continue to fight a losing battle for the position or you can get ready for what’s next.

In the video I show 2 examples of setting up escapes once I feel I’ve lost the position and how I use Butterfly Guard to counter people.

Again, these ideas aren’t specific to just what we did here. They’re ideas that are useable anytime a position changes. So take some time to think about how the strategy could apply to your BJJ game when you roll or compete.

http://teachmegrappling.com This video was a piece of a tournament training session where I focused on getting the points for your position at a bare minimum. This is good for tournaments but also basic grappling in general or self defense. Check out the details and you are sure to find something useful! Enjoy!

Everyone should be a top player.

As sport BJJ has blown up, we have seen many athletes who have specialized in being “bottom players.” They specialize in closed guard, half guard, turtle guard, 50/50, etc. They will sit to guard and butt scoot their way around the mats. I have seen competitors race to the bottom by sitting immediately, where it is uncertain who is top and who is bottom.

Submission only tournaments, like EBI, have allowed these types of players to thrive, as they do not fear losing by points and embrace the bottom positions more. As someone who started martial arts for self defense purposes, this trend seems like BJJ jumped the shark.

Martial arts is a competitive sport, so winning and losing can become important – especially if you have a big ego.

Winning is nice. It is an affirmation that you are doing things well.

Losing is okay. It lets you know that you need to make adjustments in your game.

They both have their place, but when your ego gets involved, it puts the blinders on and focuses purely on winning. It can make you fearful of losing, and start playing conservatively. Or, your ego just sees you at a certain position on the totem pole that requires you to beat x, y, and z to maintain your “status” at your academy. Sometimes you just get hooked on “winning” and don’t care about anything else.

What’s the problem with this?
When you are focused on only winning, you will naturally play your “A-Game” – your best techniques and strategies. This is great for competition and self defense scenarios, but not for growth.

Why? When you play your A-Game, you will not learn as much when sparring – especially if you have a lot of experience playing it. It is a game of diminishing returns. So the more time you spend using your A-Game, the less you will learn from it.
As a martial artist, our goal is to be prepared for any situation in combat. But when we play only one type of strategy, we are not working on rounding out our game. As a result, opponents will start to figure out the holes in your game and exploit them over time. You can see it in the fight world, where people who are once unbeatable get a hole exposed and then suddenly take a big fall.

The greats of our sport are always working on new skills, and evolving. That is why being a champion is hard. Everyone is studying you and trying to figure out how to beat you. The longer you are champ, the more they have to study. This is why evolving is very important. It keeps your opponents chasing the “new you” as you evolve. So they are always a step behind, as they can’t know whats changed until after the fight (unless they have a spy in your gym, which happens lol).

TLDR; The goal of training martial arts is to improve your ability to defend yourself from as many scenarios as possible. The bigger the improvement, the better the training. So if you have been using the same strategy for awhile and making it work well, switch to a new strategy. You will probably lose a lot initially, but eventually you will develop proficiency and fill that hole in your game and in the process you will learn a lot more.

So do not be afraid of losing, especially in training. In competition or self defense, use your A-game. But in training, allow yourself to use different strategies, techniques, and positions. It will make you a more well rounded martial artist.

The post Always fighting to win can cost you long term appeared first on jitseasy.

How do you deal with the Takedown aspect of a Wrestler who’s in a Grappling competition? Or what do you do when someone’s better at take downs?

As a Wrestler who got into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I can tell you that I used to put a lot of focus on takedowns.

When I would go to a BJJ competition. I would do everything I could in order to get on top of the person.

Oftentimes if someone pulled me into Guard it kind of sucked the wind out of my sails. I wouldn’t have the points for getting the takedown and it took away my forward momentum.

In this video I respond to a question from Cassie who has a son, Ryan, who is competing in local superfight matches.

His matches have been going well but she’s now noticing that the area gyms are offering more wrestling in their BJJ training. And their gym does not offer it.

The question from them is how do you approach a situation in a competition when your opponent has superior takedowns.

Chad and I both show options as to how we deal with this situation in BJJ tournaments or competitions.

The main idea is to converse your energy on the feet and save it for once you get to the ground. In my case I use a Guard Pull into Half Guard for the sweep.

But I’ll save the details and let you see them in the video.

Hope the video is useful!
