Episode #111 “Why can’t get these techniques to work?”

Description:

The boys talk about why those techniques you learned that seem so very promising don’t seem to work during live rolls. 

It’s super frustrating when you drill a technique upwards of five time each side, with flawless perfection, but when it comes to live rolling it’s gets shut down like I did when trying to get a date for prom. 

So what’s going on here?  Is this technique faulty?  Will it just not work for me and my body composition?  Is the entirety of Jiu Jitsu boolsheet???  Probably not...

Typical (every time), you can’t get a move to work it’s because you lack a deep understanding of how to use it, or even when to use it. The right technique at the wrong time after all, is the wrong technique. 

In last weeks episode we talked about situational rolling. That’s what you need to do here to get those techniques to actually start working for you. Trying them out in the very next roll after you just learned it rarely works out. You need to play with it, work with it, try it out over and over while building up both understanding of typical reactions from your partners and find out the fail points so you can correct for them. 

Point is, in order to get any particular technique to work, you need to put in the time and effort to truly understand and feel it. Otherwise we could all just get better by watching Instagram BJJ videos...
