I want this to go deeper than just techniques. I’m really looking to develop a full understanding of the game and how to actually apply it under pressure. Here are the main areas I want to focus on: 1. Stand-Up Transition Game How to effectively connect takedowns, guard pulls, and scrambles into dominant positions. I want to understand timing, decision-making, and how to dictate where the match goes from the feet into the ground. 2. Top Game Not just passing, but how to control, apply pressure, and systematically break people down. I’m looking for details on maintaining dominance, creating openings, and chaining submissions. 3. Bottom Game How to become dangerous and efficient off my back sweeps, submissions, and transitions. I want to eliminate “stalling” positions and always be progressing or attacking. 4. Offense, Defense, and Counterattacks I want to understand how these three connect together in real time how to flow from defending to attacking, setting traps, and staying one step ahead. 5. Leg Lock Game (Deep Dive) I’d like a more philosophical and strategic understanding of leg locks: - When and why to enter - Offensive systems - Defensive awareness and escapes - Counters and how to stay safe while still being aggressive 6. Mental Game & Philosophy This is a big one for me: - Handling competition anxiety - Breaking through mental blocks - Building confidence and consistency - Developing a mindset that accelerates growth I want a framework that helps you become a black belt mentally and strategically before you actually get there. 7. Overall Approach to Jiu-Jitsu I’m really interested in how high-level practitioners see the game how you or they think, how they make decisions, and how they approach training and competition on a daily basis. I want to build a complete system, not just collect techniques.
