I have had Christian Graugart’s blog page listed for quite a while now. To those who are familiar with his site, you know that he provides pretty useful tips on BJJ. I happened to watch his latest video yesterday and was impressed with how easily he dominates his sparring partners. He always seems to be thinking 2 to 3 steps ahead of the people he is sparring.
In the video above, he demonstrates a little bit of his thought process when he is grappling with opponents.
I have to admit that I have been trying to remember chains of sequences but am not at the level where I can lead opponents into traps with any regularity. I am at the stage where I try to gain the dominant position and then try a number of submissions from the dominant stance. I adapt to whatever occurs but that’s about it….
