2nd question….what’s the technique you know you should be drilling but just haven’t been?

Seminar with Robert Drysdale
ROL KIDS SUMMER CAMP
Professor Thomas Rozdzynski’s “You Are Framed” seminar at Rough Hands BJJ delivered a clear, concept-driven approach to one of the most essential elements in Jiu-Jitsu, framing. Rather than focusing on isolated techniques, the seminar emphasized understanding how and why frames work, giving students tools they could apply across all positions.

What is the biggest pieces of advice and coach/training partner gave you that made a difference in your game? I have many, but first one that comes to mind was from an upper belt training partner. I think about low-mid blue, I was having a hard time getting better and how to escape from side control, especially against the bigger opponents. I was told to take two months and just start every round from bottom side and get as many reps as you can. He said he did they same thing and you just needs the reps to build the escapes/frames/movement/calm needed when being smashed. I use this method a lot and still to this day when trying to new things and just commit to a time period to work on them.
