tallgeese Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 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. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorykarate Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 And when you first start training you are going to end up in bad positions more often than not.Another thing is that learning escapes will give us more confidence in trying other moves. Often students are afraid of going for something because of the risk of getting into a worse position. Victory Karate in the Bronx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
