Understanding Dominant Angles in Jiu-Jitsu
Dominant angles are crucial in jiu-jitsu, but their true significance often goes unexamined. While many practitioners recognize the importance of positioning relative to an opponent, misunderstandings frequently arise about what constitutes a dominant angle. For instance, others might believe that getting behind or to the side of an opponent universally provides an advantage; however, there are notable exceptions that challenge this notion. Techniques like the Donkey Guard illustrate that turning away from an opponent can sometimes yield a powerful position, emphasizing the need for deeper understanding rather than surface-level assumptions.
