THE FOUNDATION OF JIU JITSU

The first step on the road to success in jiu jitsu is to build a strong foundation.

Building a solid foundation is always the first step in any endeavour. If you want to be successful at BJJ, you must first build a strong foundation of escapes and defences.

Why?

Your ability to get out of bad positions is the structure that everything else you learn will sit on top of. As an example, if you want to learn how to sweep someone from the bottom guard position, but your escape game isn't strong enough yet, what happens when they pass your guard? You have no plan B and will just be stuck underneath someones mount again and again until you are left with no choice but to tap.

Learning escapes and defences allows you to develop a means to get back to your guard which means that instead of being stuck in positions where all your moves fail, there is always be an opportunity to try again. Additionally, if you have confidence in your escapes, you will have confidence to go for your attacks. Simply because you know if things go wrong, we can always escape and try again.
