Using Different Attributes in Your Jiu JItsu!
A quick Vlog from my Jiu Jitsu Training Trip in Dallas, TX. I’ve been training hard…and there is nothing like a plunge into a cold pool after a hard days training. I’ve been thinking about how we leverage different attributes in BJJ. People bring different characteristics to the mat…some its youth, some its flexibility some its strength and some its cardio. Thinking about your various skills and weaknesses and that of your opponents can shape the way you approach a roll. Remember to work and leverage your strengths and try and exploit your opponents weaknesses. Listen to this quick travel vlog as I discuss this in more detail…

Let me know how you go.
