INSIGHT

Pressure: Intent, Direction, Position

  • Pressure in jiu-jitsu is about intention, direction, and position, not just weight or strength.
  • Properly distributed weight and angle make smaller practitioners effective pressure players.
ADVICE

Practice Moving Pressure in Mount

  • Practice staying heavy and present in positions like mount by spending time in them.
  • Use your body to adjust constantly rather than relying only on static strength to maintain pressure.
ANECDOTE
