10 Things Every Grappler Should Know; Part 4

4) A critical aspect of grappling is knowing how to escape a Position:
Being able to escape positions requires two main factors.
One is being able to execute at least two but preferably three different escapes per position and being able to combine the two or three escapes to set up your opponent and escape.
This should be a priority in your training.
Set up a list of 3 escapes per position and master them as well as switching between them.
Incorporate them into isolation drills and master the timing involved while sparring.
I can't stress this enought to those who are just beginning BJJ and even as a reminder to those who have been training for a while.
You should focus a major part of your training on escaping positions.
Remember, If your opponent can't keep you in a bad position they will have a very hard time submitting you.

Happy holidays.
