I recently reviewed a Gi (one of 13 that I have already purchased) from Venum! Check out the post here: https://grapplersgraveyard.com/venum-x-assassins-creed-shadows-bjj-gi-review/

I wrote about power dynamics in back take scenarios, where the attacker has a body triangle and rear naked choke. The framing I used here is described as Gravitropic Topologies, which describes energetically dense centers of gravity, along various dimensions. https://protocol-particles.github.io/Phenomena/Industries/Sport

I had some issues finishing triangles from the back, and then I realized one fundamental principle. You only get the angles right if the base of your triangle is completely aligned with the back/shoulder line of your opponent. That also means that one of your hip/knee/ankle joints must pair with each of your opponents shoulder. If the apex of your triangle does not align with the chin of your opponent, then it is not a choke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTW9tXjh-NY

Target the entire body: A key principle in all combat sports is to strike various parts of your opponent’s body to penetrate their defenses. A skilled opponent will raise their guard the moment they sense an attack. If you can convince them that your strike is aimed at one area, then deliver the actual blow to a different spot, you can slip past their defenses. While this concept may seem straightforward, your effectiveness will be measured by how well you execute it in practice—so focus on practicing misdirection in your daily sparring sessions. Develop the habit of starting your attack in one place and smoothly transitioning to another. This approach will make your tactics unpredictable and refined, leading to better outcomes!

Every technique in Jiu Jitsu has its own unique characteristics, which you must understand to effectively execute them. For instance, the armbar (juji gatame) from the S mount requires careful and deliberate execution, as it is performed from a highly advantageous position. Failing the armbar can lead to a significant loss of control. Therefore, it's crucial to apply steady, methodical pressure throughout the move to maximize success and minimize the risk of losing position. When evaluating a move, consider factors like the time needed to perform it, the level of control it offers, the potential consequences of failure, and the options for follow-up techniques. By understanding these elements, you can better determine which techniques to use in various situations, leveraging their strengths and accounting for their weaknesses.

Jiu jitsu can often feel chaotic, with opponents moving unpredictably and forcefully, making it hard to gain control. It's tempting to respond with equal intensity and randomness. While this strategy might tire them out initially, you will eventually need to execute moves with technical precision to overcome strong resistance. Therefore, it's crucial to embed those technical details deeply into your practice so that, regardless of the chaos, you can rely on your skills to secure a victory.

In Jiu Jitsu, there are always two concurrent battles: one to counter your opponent's moves and another to assert your own. Overemphasizing one aspect can lead to problems. Ignoring your opponent's actions means you'll constantly be on the defensive, struggling to survive each attack until you inevitably get caught. Conversely, focusing solely on countering your opponent without trying to assert your own moves results in a game that is overly cautious and defensive, making you more of a nuisance than a real threat. Achieve tactical balance by starting with negation and swiftly transitioning to imposing your will. This approach acknowledges your opponent's skills while ensuring you don't underestimate your own.
