Jump rope gorilla pass shot stacking plank dead bugs bueno triad Sometimes in grappling we end up running into the same traps and brick walls repeatedly. As frustrating as that is, we must shoulder the blame for continuing an inefficient path. With your coach's help the impetus of your improvement is based on analyzing the understanding of grappling you have and then modifying the parameters to change the circumstances.
one of the things you will find at Chuva BJJ is that you are constantly in similar scenarios rolling with me, but if you watch me roll with someone else the situations change person to person, still the repetitive attacking strategy remains the same because: 1. Each grappler and grappling encounter is different 2. In that my strategy and solutions change 3. Once there is a strategy and solution for the current grappling puzzle, I'm exposing holes and weak points in a student's approach 4. We now have a weakness and hole to find a solution for 5. Until that solution is found that attack remains viable for exploitation So let's say you have spent months driving at the same problem without a change in results. Why is that happening? My guess is you have probably changed very little in your approach throughout that time. So you need a new solution. Your coach can help you find that solution, but it's not going to do anything if you don't make an effort to put it into action. If what you are doing isn't working you must change what you are doing. It is advice that was incredibly frustrating to me when I got it in the locker room at Primero 10 years ago, but much like a lot of things that were said to me early in BJJ, it grew into a tenant of my philosophy, and hopefully it will work its way into yours as well. Training operates like science class, a theory is presented in the form of technique and then we experiment with that theory to strengthen our hypothesis in the form of live training. If that is the case then we must look at drilling/technical training as an exercise in precision. When we train techniques in repetition we are participating in the equivalent of science performed in a vacuum. It is an environment of limited or controlled variables. However, when we enter any form of live training we enter into almost limitless possible outcomes. So then how can the transition from control to chaos be less jarring? Precision, being precise in drilling is great way to control the multitude of possibilities within live training. When you do things consciously over time that becomes how you do things subconsciously, so when you drill do your best to drill technically correct. Heed the words of your coaches and professors. There is a reason they are saying the things they are saying and taking the steps they are taking. If you don't understand what those reasons are, try asking. There's a difference between drilling and drilling well, only you can decide whether you'll be getting the most from your time at the gym.

It's almost a guarantee that you'll be terrible, or at least you'll feel like you are, and that's okay. Sometimes it's good to not be good at something. The only activities that adequately prepare you for the difficulties of grappling are other forms of grappling. No matter how good you are at cross fit, stick and ball sports, track and field, or striking, when you start BJJ, you'll feel like an infant. That's not always an easy thing for people. The attraction as well as the frustration of grappling is its complexity. It is not absolute, it is incredibly physically demanding, it's constantly evolving, and it is more effective in a meditative flow state than when you're thinking about it. From no prior knowledge to basic competency by most standards takes years of putting in multiple days a week, and there's usually a period where you're not having much success in implementing what you learn. That's standard, and whether you take 6 months of basics classes without rolling, or jump into the fire of rolling your first day, struggle is part of the process. So as hard as it is, there is just a certain amount of faith in the process necessary to thrive in jiu jitsu, your coaches got where they are somehow and they want your success. In fact most of them are trying to make it easier on you than it was for them if you can believe it.
