At ROL we have many fan favorites on tap this week from side-control. We have a couple of flavors of Kimora. The traditional to the North South. Align that with a take down so simple your Grandma could do it. Stop by.

I have to say coming in overweight, and old, I tried to not take it seriously. But my competitive nature wouldn’t allow it. However, things changed when I stopped seeking the W and I became a seeker of knowledge. I was truly amazed at the fact there are so many different ways to reverse submit etc. and learn this amazing art, while getting fit and learn how to stay humble.

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.

Great insight Patrick. I found it to be a common if not necessary occurrence for all. Being highly competitive myself losing was tough. And hearing all the sayings like losing is learning can be cliche no matter how difficult to absorb. For myself I felt when I decided to appreciate the art of BJJ was when I fell in love with BJJ. That was when I really didn’t care about a L or a W. I just wanted to learn. And was actually happy for the other guy that beat me and was like how’d you do that. We are in the shallow end of this BJJ pool, I can’t wait to step off into deeper waters to learn some more.

I really appreciate both. Drilling to refine and perfect but live rolls to see what works and or what adjustments need to be made then adjust while drilling.

I was struggling and a purple belt took me to the side and said.

Dude, just be a pain in the ass.

I felt I was a natural at that.

So what I figured was not to make it easy for my opponent. Gum up the works as it were. Take things away and get in the way. Pull on whatever lapel arm or leg I could. It gave me the ability to be a challenging partner with the upper belts and started making head way with the lower belts. I was able to get reps and learn the do’s and don’t.
