On April 14, Scott Tresch taught an outstanding seminar focused on controlling situations and building a strong foundation in Jiu Jitsu. The workshop emphasized core principles, positional awareness, and fundamental concepts that are essential for long-term growth in the art.
A must-see for all beginners looking to develop confidence, understanding, and a solid base in their Jiu Jitsu journey.
Seminar is now available on RŌL TV - https://rolacademy.tv/programs/2026-04-18-scott-tresch
What’s up everyone in BJJ land. I’ve been thinking and that can be dangerous but in all seriousness. I was wondering. Do you isolate techniques, and perfect them individually or do you work on the what ifs? And then do you drill them, connecting them into a system? What’s worked best for your game?
I know for myself. When I started it was one move. But watching the upper belts destroy me consistently there had to be a trick. Right? A system…
But what it turned out for me was journaling, recording myself, and asking them questions all this helped. But it wasn’t everything.
So I took my fav submission and worked backwards and forwards till I uncovered all the strengths and weaknesses. Putting myself in the most vulnerable positions and not so vulnerable.
Eventually or organically it all fit together into a flow. But that was one position and there are so many out there to make our own.
What’s something that has been a struggle to deal with in life that Jiu Jitsu has taught you to be better at when applying it outside of Jiu Jitsu?
For me, I’ve always struggled with asking for help to avoid disappointment or allowing my pride and/or ego to prevent me asking. Very interested to hear other perspectives. I find it impossible to progress in Jiu Jitsu without needing and wanting the help of others.
Life lesson: Asking for or needing help is not a sign of weakness but one of strength to display vulnerability and the willingness to be better.
