Need More Strength (and techniques from the guard)
Training tonight I realised that I am probably the weakest guy there! Ah, the wonders of a desk job, and more importantly, having slacked off the weight training. At least the last part will soon be fixed, as per my last post.
Now, of course technique is super-important, but at the end of the day, speed, agility, strength and stamina do all come into play.
Of course, if someone is obviously stronger, attempting to meet them head-on in Newaza is silly. Using speed and grip-work is important. Again, I need to work on being faster to establish a dominant grip and then work round into a more preferable position. I will continue to beat myself up over this one!
I also would like more techniques to employ when having pulled guard. I have long legs and would really like to get Triangle Chokes to work well.
Great video on this:
