69: Creating Your BJJ Game Plan

The Highlight Reel
  • How to get the most from your gameplan
  • Drilling from bad positions
  • The magic of 1-minute drills
  • Getting into the “This is just jiu-jitsu” mindset
  • When to change up your game plan

 

Creating Your BJJ Game Plan

AJ walks us through structuring a jiu-jitsu game plan. She starts with the easiest way for white belts to start working on their game plans and then explains how her game planning has changed as she has progressed.

Start by writing down what you know. Structure it for 3 top positions and 3 bottom positions. Write down 2-4 moves that you know from each position. Don’t worry if you don’t know that many moves yet. Write them down as you learn and drill them.

In addition to helping you prepare for competition, following a written game plan will also help your coach troubleshoot areas where you are struggling.

As you advance, your game plan will become more of a system.
