#TrueTalkTuesdays 5

Everyone should be a top player.

As sport BJJ has blown up, we have seen many athletes who have specialized in being “bottom players.” They specialize in closed guard, half guard, turtle guard, 50/50, etc. They will sit to guard and butt scoot their way around the mats. I have seen competitors race to the bottom by sitting immediately, where it is uncertain who is top and who is bottom.

Submission only tournaments, like EBI, have allowed these types of players to thrive, as they do not fear losing by points and embrace the bottom positions more. As someone who started martial arts for self defense purposes, this trend seems like BJJ jumped the shark.

Updates to IBJJF rules regarding guard passing and a related modified lasso guard sweep.

This technique is an example from the Russian Gripping Masterclass, where we learn the system to controlling your opponent’s arms, so that you can play them like a puppet.

Download the full masterclass and start learning today:

https://kitdaletraining.com/products/russian-gripping-masterclass-by-kit-dale-an-aussie

To grapple with your opponent you have to grip them somewhere. You can do so randomly, on a whim and find out how that goes for you. You can grab something different every time, maybe a wrist today, an elbow tomorrow, the pants a different day.

Or… you can follow and later on – create your own SYSTEM. With a system you can play to your strengths and negate your opponent’s offence before it even begins.

If you want to get some ideas from my current gripping system (which I adopted from my Russian wrestling sparring partners) go to https://kitdaletraining.com/products/russian-gripping-masterclass-by-kit-dale-an-aussie

Muscle imbalances occur not only in BJJ, but from life in general. Most of the things that we do throughout the day places us in a forward head and rounded shoulders posture as well as a bent trunk along with bent knees and hips.

A great way to think about muscle symmetry is to stretch the areas that are tight (neck muscles, pec, front of the hips, and hamstrings), while strengthening the areas that may not be activated as much (back of the shoulders and shoulder blade musculature, glutes, and outer hips).

These are just general guidelines and just because muscle are tight does not mean they are strong and vice versa, muscles that are stretched/loose are not necessarily weak, but these are just general guidelines so take this information with the idea that there are variables and not absolutes when discussing posture and muscle symmetry.

Here are a few of the videos I recommend but there are plenty on my page and other pages so feel free to explore and see what works!
Also, check out my e-Book for healthy shoulders, which is a good place to get some solid stretches and strengthening exercises as well!
