So your Jiu-Jitsu will flow like a well-oiled machine, you have to get all the gears fitting together perfectly. That’s what this match between Roger Gracie and Saulo Ribeiro at the 2005 Jiu-Jitsu World Championship taught us.
From the guard pass to the finish, by way of the mount or back control, you have to be careful to properly go through each of the steps. Always with the right timing, correct weight distribution, without losing ground you’ve conquered on your adversary. Practice each match step separately during technique-training sessions.
Refresh your memory of this classic match, and enjoy your studies.
