Move

If you find yourself on bottom and you’re not playing guard, you need to move. Even if you move incorrectly...move. Especially at the beginning stages, it’s better to make mistakes and learn than curl up and pray for mercy. The more you get caught trying, the more you improve. Even if you feel crushed into the ground, make little movements, cause reactions, do something to improve your position. Even when I roll with Tanquinho, I may get stuck, or get whacked, but I’m constantly doing something to make it harder on him. Move as much as you can as often as you can until you improve your position or you get whacked.
