BJJ Tips of The Day 2

Here are BJJ Tips of The Day 2

1. Drill, Drill, Drill. I don't mean just the dead pattern BJJ drilling. I mean practice the BJJ technique with your partner to get familiar with the mechanics then as you go have him/her add some movement so you have to react a little different. Then have them add more movement and resistance. Then when you roll, try to do the technique that you were drilling. To many people think drilling is partnering up with someone and just going through the technique. That is not the case, the best drilling in my opinion is trying it during your sparring/grappling session. That is what builds your timing, experience, and lets you know truly what will work for you. When you do this, try to execute that particular technique during your sparring/grappling sessions for at least 2 weeks, by then you should know if you should add it to your arsenal or not.
2. Do conditioning, outside of your training sessions. As they say, "Conditioning is the strongest hold". I'm not sure who first said this statement, but I agree with it 100%. If you are not conditioned you will never be on top. When you get tired and fatigued, your mind doesn't work as fast and your reaction time is greatly hindered.
3. Don't skimp on the BJJ sparring. Just like you need to drill a lot, the same goes with sparring. BJJ Sparring session is where you see what works and what doesn't. It's what tells you what you need work on and what techniques are actually working for you.
