Strategic BJJ Mindset

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, strategically allowing an opponent to initiate a move can create opportunities for a counter attack. By presenting a vulnerability, such as leaving an elbow out for a Kimura, one can bait the opponent into an attack, allowing for a counter move like an arm bar. In high-level competition, it may be beneficial to strategically concede certain battles to create openings for counter attacks, acknowledging that it's challenging to dominate every aspect of a confrontation.
