Slow The F*** Down. In the beginning, many grapplers think harder, faster, stronger is better. That is sometimes true in a real fight, but if you want to train to get better you have to chill out. Don’t be a spaz, jumping all over the place and trying to force techniques. Instead, slow the f*** down. Focus on the technique. If your technique is good, it’ll be even better when you put some extra strength behind it. Plus, nobody wants to roll with the guy who only has one speed. There is a time and a place for going hard, but it’s not all the time. Do your partners a favour and slow dow

As a wrestler this is quite the task. The natural pace of wrestling is significantly higher than BJJ. There would be times my training partners would tell me to slow down and I’d be genuinely confused because to me I was going slow. BJJ guys be patient with your wrestler training partners. It takes time to re-wire one’s body to go an even slower pace.

This should be a prerequisite to getting your blue belt

A great message, & so important for new, young practitioners!

One of the only Jiujitsu cliché advice concepts I love:

“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”

I’ve come to realise that so long as you’re increasing your physical fitness, genuinely studying the sport, memorising, & deliberately trying to use these new techniques in sparring, the speed will just increase without you even trying to actively speed up.

There is however one specific issue I see a lot, which I too am guilty for; especially when I’m exhausted, or/& when struggling to pass a great open guard:

When you’re passing, you don’t have to be fast, but you must at least try to be continually keeping your opponent moving, or even better: Making them hold some of your body weight (‘Camping’ is a good term to find practical examples for this.)

There are two reasons for this:

Firstly, it is difficult for a guard player to be offensive when they’re worried about being defensive (i.e. in a state of constant retention.)

Secondly, you’re exhausting them over time by doing this. It’s very unlikely you will pass a great guard in the first half of the round, if at all. Your best chance is in the second half, as the pressure is continually mounting on the guard player to sweep, & gravity is working against them.

However, The big mistake I’m talking about, & this is for more experienced grapplers: Is the seductive nature to go from stand passing, to trying instead to pass on both knees, or combat base in order to have a breather & think. As soon as you do this, the guard player is going to relax to catch their thoughts. We want to prevent our opponent from ever feeling relaxed, but without wasting aimless energy to do so. You can pass as slow as you like, so long as you’re continuously keeping your opponent in a state of anxiety.

This same concept can be applied to many other situations; not just passing guard. Keep the pressure on through persistence, not through rushing!

The same goes for striking. Do the technique properly at a slower pace and then increase the speed when you get a hang of it. You'll never get good at the advanced stuff if you compensate for technique with speed.

as a wrestler i struggle with this. But once I tried really slowing down; it helped a ton. Slow when you've a got a position and fast in the transitions saves energy and helps with technique. Technique over everything

As a heavyweight I find that people automatically want to go hard with me and challenge me and there are many people that don’t want to roll with me as I might have a bit of reputation behind me, but I’m also perfectly capable of doing technical rounds, it just seems like the majority of my fellow blues and all the whites don’t know how to go light with me as even if they or I say we should go light they seem to always take it up a level

As an aggressive type of fighter I love fast pace and great technique which is why going with Brown and Black belts is awesome as they know how to control the tempo without you having to worry about spazzy white belts who might end up throwing an elbow or knee into your head when attempting techniques.

This applies to muay Thai training too, technical sparring, I'm a bit of a fast spaz (panic a bit) so I'm trying to work on slowing it down and focus on good technique

Problem with this mentality is if you’re a beginner, you can only beat experienced grapplers with more grit. So yes it’s not beautiful, but I’m not paying to get subbed every exchange. And to those who say calm down, then choose another partner but I find a lot of more experienced grapplers enjoy the challenge. And yes, even trying to outwork them, I do get subbed a lot

When you're new you have to learn to slow down, I've been 5o months in jiujitsu but people tell me that I go hard, not excessively but they tell me I do, and I honestly thought I was holding back.
