I think sometimes when those guys come over to Jitsu specific events, they get leg locked, they fall into traps, overly aggressive or overly evasive. But I think the way they train just is perfect for a fight, a fight. They can just forward pressure, eat some shots, grind a guy against the wall. Fence wrestling is technical. Jiu-jitsu is far more technical.

There's way more things you can do in a grappling scenario from top and bottom than I think against the wall. So a grinding nature of how they train works really good to walk a guy down and take him down against the wall. And then obviously with ground and pound, very good to hold a guy down. So I think just never conceding an inch in training is just...

They've done that since they were born, basically. So you learn how to grind somebody down. Yeah, like they're just trying to break each other at all times, trying to have some dominance over their friends and who they train with.

Not when you can pull guard and submit from your back. I think that sort of negates some of that grinding pressure. I think that has to be met with more slow technical lateral movement. I think that's the way you, like that would be the dream for me is a guy just comes straight forward into my guard. So that grinding approach works well if he's taken me down and got already close to me.

But if I'm laying flat on my back and he's standing and he has to engage, he has all that danger at range. But if he can connect to my body before we go down, now we're in his world again, I think.
