Principle 20: Sacrifice (The 32 Principles of Jiu-Jitsu)

Principle 20: Sacrifice
Giving up something of actual or perceived value to gain a tactical advantage in another form.
When progress is not possible in using convention methods, you might consider making a sacrifice. As in the game of chess, a sacrifice play can be a surprising and elegant solution to making progress out of a difficult situation. By dangling a decoy opportunity in front of your opponent (e.g. a submission opportunity or positional advancement opportunity), you will incentivize them to move in a specific direction that, if timed right, you can take advantage of. Although there are no limits to what the Sacrifice Principle can help you accomplish (escapes, submission, counters, sweeps, etc.), you must be careful, because if you dangle the decoy for too long it may lead to your demise.
