Strenght is your gas pedal and technique is your steering wheel, when you have been small and weak and become strong by lifting weights, then you understand the impact of strenght in jiu jitsu...
Bigger, stronger guys who have been training less time than me will often come to me (I'm small) asking for advice on using less strength in their bjj. I always ask them "Why? Are you planning on not being strong anymore?" Of course I encourage them to continually seek to perfect their technique, but hey, if you're strong, be strong! If you're big, be big!
Your videos throughout these couple of years have definitely changed the way I train, roll, and compete. Thank you for all the hard work in putting up this quality content. 🙏🙇♂
On overanalysis and full force, I think the best way to fill that analytical gap is to create additional levels of drilling with constraints below the level of full rolls. Positional sparring with variable resistance allows you to "play fair" while dialing things back during the learning stage. With good partners, you can scale that all the way to 100% rolling intensity.
Strength and technique are both important but one is less sustainable than the other. As far as technique, this is where timing comes into play. Applying perfect technique at the wrong time will lead to less success versus applying good technique at the right time will increase one's success. Great content! Especially about steroids in BJJ!
I would something like; there is an inverse relationship between the degree of control you have in a givin positional snapshot and the degree of strength and speed that is necessary. Chers 🤙
I much prefer watching high level training footage over competition footage. Especially specific sparring footage. I feel like that information is easier for me to carry over to my own training. Still doing both, of course.
Gym sparring often has better audio too, giving me a better feel for the forces the practitioners exert on the mat (heavy/light steps eat c) and on each other.
One thing that always stands out in your videos, and I don't mean this to be offensive, is that you pronounce the word "versus" with only one syllable (like "verse"). The word does have two syllables... this faux pas is a bit jarring.

exactly my shoes. I’m by no means good but I’ve been grappling for 18 months and strength training made a huge diffrence

Strength is the most important thing in Jiu-jitsu after technique.
What about strategy?xd
@TheOddStranger I'd argue techniques chain, and that equals strategy.
After flexibility, mobility and Cardio

Love the advice here.
i asked coach if i was using too much strength he asked me if i was getting tired i said no he said to keep using strength.
Thank you-great explanation
Strength matters. Use strength to apply your techniques. However, dont use strength as a substitution for your technique.

The most important point here: there will always be someone stronger than you.
strength is part of your technique. Even perfect technique will not be effective if there is no force behind it to impose its effects.
If you're not getting tired, then keep using strength.
So the strength to move yourself scales further than the strength to move others

Gracie is famous for saying "there are two things a person needs to be good at jiu jitsu. Lifting strength, and skill in jiu jitsu."

This is what nerdy week guys want you to think. Do not listen to them.
