East Side Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The vast majority of defensive movements your opponent will make are quite predictable. As you gain increasing physical and tactical control over an opponent one of the first effects is a reduction in the movement options your opponent has. The remaining choices are usually quite easy to foresee. There are only so many rational choices given the conditions you’re both operating under. Learning to see the patterns these movements and choices create and the to make decisions into action prior to the completion of these patterns is a huge part of success in the game. Everybody looks and sees - very few look and predict - but that’s one of the great keys to success. Whenever you watch Jiu Jitsu - Make an exercise of trying to predict the action rather than merely observe it. This will greatly benefit your development
