5) How to change strategies according to your opponent:
All opponents you will be grappling or fighting against will have different strengths and weaknesses.
Developing the ability to read these strengths and weaknesses will allow you to develop superior strategy when going up against different opponents. This will help you understand which strategies to use against a faster or slower, stronger or weaker, more technical, more explosive, or more athletic opponent.
Differences in height, limb length and flexibility also need to be taken into account.
Double leg takedowns tend to work easier on taller individuals than on shorter ones.
It's also easier to armlock a longer arm than it is a shorter one.
These of course are generalizations and depend on your opponent's skills as well, but having the ability to change strategies depending on your opponents strengths is critical if one is to develop advanced skills in BJJ.
