BJJ Game PlanA beginners guide to developing a game

plan for BJJ competitions

Eliminate Hesitation During A MatchYou can pull the trigger on executing your techniques without thinking. Instead of

being stuck in a sort of analysis paralysis.

Kill The NervesHaving a game plan will give you a better sense of preparedness. Instead of worrying

about what your opponent will do. The game plan will give you a clear set of

techniques to replay through your head before the match.

Control The Pace and Tempo of The Match.If you initiate first. Your opponent will be forced to react to you rather than set up

their own techniques.

Adjust Easier During The MatchHaving a clear plan will allow your mind to be more clear and free during the match.

Opposed to having no game plan and having to focus on what you plan to use at every

step of the way.

If your opponent does something different than you anticipated. Having a clear head

will allow more space in your mind to quickly make adjustments.

Game Plan OutlineBelow is a pretty simple outline but enough that it gives a clear

direction. A game plan needs to provide direction but still be simple

enough that it allows flexibility as situations will always change once

you're actually out there.
