How do I get out of that?


Recommended Posts

Let's not forget, being in less than dominant positions is at least half of the BJJ game.

You need to learn to like that as much as being on top. Or at least not learn to hate it. There's alot of beauty in the angles and intracacies of working from the bottom.

And when you first start training you are going to end up in bad positions more often than not.

....Story of my life :P I usually feel like an idiot, because within 2 seconds, I'm squashed. lol.

Isn't that the best though!!!!? It's another opportunity to work your escape. It's another opportunity to feel how the opponent sets you up for a submission. It's another opportunity to survive just a moment longer. Eventually, those opportunities add up, eventually you're on top, eventually you're not crushed anymore. See your mistakes as learning opportunities, learn in the school so you don't learn on the street!
