Knee on belly, full mounted guard, taking the back, will give you points after 3 seconds.
Just take also care when both are ass on the mats, if you can just keep on your feet or on the knees, ass off the mats, and your opponent keep his own ass on the mat, you can esrn some points.
Never forget 3 seconds, it is also the moment you can fight hard if you are yourself under any hold, 3 seconds to escape to prevent your opponent to get his points. If you can't, you have then anytime to escape the position.
Great 3 second advice. That was something I realized recently. If I can't escape in 3 seconds, I'll accept the points and bad position and figure out how to escape without using all my energy and staying safe
How do you prepare for competition? I’m competing in my first tournament in a few weeks as a two stripe blue belt. I wish I competed at white belt since my improved exponentially during that time. I’ve been training 4-5 times a week for the past few weeks, maintaining a balance diet, drinking way less alcohol (I I don’t really drink anyways), and I’m curious about what other competitors do, whether it would be ‘rituals,’ diet, mental preparation, etc.
If it's a points competition, focus on what positions and transitions give you points while you're rolling at the gym. Example: Body triangle from the back doesn't give you points in most tournaments. You gotta have both hooks in for 3 seconds to get points, then you can transition to body triangle.
Work with someone who knows the point system and you guys can say when you earn points during the roll.
THAT IS REALLY GOOD ADVICE. I never really considered a strategy for getting points, only getting finishes. I’m going to open mat today and will be flow rolling the rest of the week. Do you think that might be enough time to get some practice in with points?
Not much you can do about it if it isn't enough time. Just be aware of points and what is allowed. I've seen multiple matches where guys didn't realize that certain leg locks were allowed and freaked out.
Points usually are earned from doing what you should be doing anyway, so make sure your fundamentals are good and go in with a soft strategy (what will you do when you find yourself in positions like closed guard. I call it a soft strategy because you should be prepared for it to fail and you'll find yourself in a "figure it out" situation
u re on the right way - if you spare regulary u re used to the situation. Set up a submission goal, and rest the 2 days b4 competition and enjoy the day of it - bjj community is the coolest in the world
Thanks for the reassurance! I was told to take it pretty light during peak week and to just flow roll during that time. When you say submission goal, do you mean the submission that gives you the highest percentage of finishes?
i done so many national and int. competitions - so just flow roll without strange is best 2 days b4 - this makes you "hungry" for the matches :) i mean the submission goal where u feel good - every 1 has a talent.. u ve 2 sort this out... i dont recommend to start with experiments , u can set up goald... to win or survive... going 4 points can be as well a good goal.. if u re in the lead just try to keep it - the more comps the more experience u get - be proud that you start it
