Did you see the post I made about the concept of POSITIONAL AWARENESS REACTION SPEED?
In the post, I talked about the importance of identifying and taking advantage of “windows of opportunity” during a match—openings that can arise for various reasons, such as:
• Lack of experience in specific systems or situations by your opponent;
• Lack of urgency to adjust grips or reposition;
• Mental or physical blocks: the opponent may have positional awareness but is mentally frozen, or exhaustion took over—something that can happen to anyone.
In the first video, I demonstrated this concept from the guard. Now, let’s focus on passing the guard.
Notice that as soon as I finish the takedown, I immediately activate reaction speed, taking advantage of my opponent still trying to reorganize. This is the essence of the concept: see the opening? Pull the trigger!
This kind of approach is crucial to elevate your game, whether you’re attacking or defending.
Do you already apply this in your matches? If not, it’s time to start! OSS!
