Key Point 1: The Strategy of Positional Pressure and Mental Exhaustion

Rather than relying solely on physical pressure, a strategic approach involving holding dominant positions to mentally exhaust opponents is discussed. By creating scenarios where opponents feel they can escape but preventing them from doing so, mental breakdowns are induced. Leveraging predictable positions like side control and iteratively adjusting pressure to make opponents wear down psychologically is highlighted, emphasizing the value of subtle strategies over brute force.
