WHY YOUR Grappling sucks.
You don't need more techniques; every day you scroll through dozens of 15-second highlight clips with no detail on how to do them. You pick one, try it for a few days, and then move on to the next.
Your coach shows a system for an entire 4 weeks! And when it's done, you focus on the next subject.
15 seconds, a few days, or even 4 weeks are not enough for you to become proficient or own a technique.
Unless you spend significant time developing ownership over a system (try 4 months), everything you are learning is, at best, defense. Even if what was shown was an offensive move.
What does that mean?
Your defense should be broad in scope, but minimal in detail. You don't need to execute an armbar from k-guard perfectly, but if you have a vague understanding of how it works, you can likely stop it. The worst thing that can happen is someone surprising you with a novel system.
The one-month curriculum is enough to remove novelty.
Your offense MUST be hyper-focused. You have a few things that you are extremely good at doing under pressure. You can do it, even if they know it's happening. Your offense is developed over long periods of focused, deliberate training. You want to be good at a choice bar; take a few months, and every time you roll, that will be your end goal.
