![]() Easily incorporate technique variations: Because you recognize the concept that the technique is based upon, you understand how it works and can integrate it into your game easier.Evaluate new BJJ techniques: When someone shows you a new technique, you can tell whether it is ‘good’ or not based on whether it violates some underlying concept.This is why so many high level practitioners have their own ‘flavor’ to a similar technique. Improvise on the fly: You will be able to create your own series of techniques based on that concept.When you understand and internalize underlying concepts you are better able to: The same applies to Jiu-jitsu and the top BJJ schools try to teach you this. To solve the problem, you had to be able to understand WHY and HOW the equations worked and modify them to fit the problem. That is because now your preset memorized equations no longer fit the modified structure. If you were from the ‘memorizer’ group, you probably had issued with math problems that changed the structure of the problem. The answer is obviously the second group. ![]() Do you remember which students excelled at math? Were they the ones who only memorized the formulas and equations or the ones who took the time to understand why the formulas and equations worked? Think back to your math classes back in school. So why is learning concepts so important? In general, if a technique doesn’t work, it probably violates some concept. Hence, concepts are the overarching principles which make techniques work. Just three simple laws yet its applications (techniques) are endless, from launching rockets to shaking a bottle of ketchup. An underlying principle (concept) would be something like Newton’s Laws of Motions. A technique is just a series of moves ending up with a certain outcome. A concept is the fundamental principle that makes a technique or set of techniques work. BJJ Techniquesįirst, let’s make things clear: what is a concept and how does it differ from a technique? What happened? How did they improve so quickly? The answer is most likely that they internalized one or more CONCEPTS. They didn’t get any stronger, they weren’t training more but they were suddenly BETTER. You know what I’m talking about three months ago you were matching them move for move in rolling, but now it’s all you can do from being submitted. Most of us have seen that person or persons at their academy that suddenly just jumped in level. What should you focus on to progress faster? BJJ Concepts or Techniques
