Be Intelligent

Physically grappling is difficult, conceptually it is not. There are really only a limited number of options and things to do. In our tasked based games approach you have a specific goal that you need to accomplish. In saying that, you must use the goal as a guide to the task you are trying to accomplish. An example would be if the goal is free your knee, logically you would need to remove your knee from the situation. IT would then not make sense to push your knee further into the predicament you are trying to remove yourself from. If the goal is sweep with a cross-collar grip, then you would need to utilize that cross-collar grip in a way that you could remove the opposition's base points leading to the most likely path being a sweep to the side your grip is on. The ability to think about what you're doing and why you're doing it is critical to jiu jitsu progress, this isn't a plug and play activity there is work involved. The games are available to you to think about before you come in to train, it is okay to strategize, come in knowing what you are working and do it. Make yourself better.
