Principles of Attacking Part 2: Creating Attacks Based on Probabilities
Hey there, hope you’re having a solid Tuesday.
Today I’m going to send a follow up video from last week’s lesson on the Principles of Attacking.
If you missed it, check this link out here.
Just to briefly summarize, I recorded some content on how to start to prime yourself for attacking opportunities and further, once you get to those positions, how to keep control in mind.
Remember that jiu-jitsu is dynamic. People will be defending and you’re constantly going to have to defend the defense while still advancing your position. This is where a lot of beginners get caught up. It’s not enough to attack, you also need to make sure you’re in control as you do.
Today’s email is a follow up. What you’ll see below are
A) The first video covers how to reduce possibilities to probabilities from a conceptual standpoint.
B) The second video shows you how I set up attacks from a few scenarios based on what I label “the fundamentals of human movement”.
Now, why is this important?
It’s because, for every position you find yourself in, you’re going to have a LOT going through your mind. Jiu-jitsu gets complex in a live training session and your job is to simplify it so you can make the best decisions possible. Otherwise, you’re not going to be in control of these positions and you’ll make more mistakes than you should.
If, however, you can reduce your opponent’s actions to what’s most likely (based on how human beings move in the first place), then your decision tree gets MUCH SIMPLER.
This is one you don’t want to miss [Next week, my plan is to record some live training so I can go over these concepts in real-time]
Alright, keep reading below and level up that attacking game.
