My interest in BJJ is almost purely as a chess games. Not self defense, or the ability to kick someones ass but rather to manipulate their mind in a sophisticated game of chess that leads to a final submission.
My question for the forum is are there any good tapes sets on the market that present one with sophiticated moves, counters, and counters to those move, so that you stay one step ahead of your opponent. These moves must ALL be connected so that there is constant flow.
I don't mean simply, if he straightens his arm go for armbar!
I mean elements of true chess based on forming a strategy depending on the opponent you face.
Eg. My opponent loves sweeps. I know he is good at two in particular. Instead of forcing an escape from his closed guard, perhaps I manipulate his mind by "morphing" into one of these off balanced positions to set him up. When he goes for the corresponding sweep (to which he thought I was making a mistake ) I have a counter set up and ready to pass his guard.
II believe all the top BJJ sport, submission grappling, and vale tudo fighters rely CONSTANTLY on baiting and waiting techniques, but refuse to show this level of technique on video.
I'm primarily interested in sport juijitsu and submission grappling. Remember what I descibed is not simply FLOW drill. But GIVING your opponent what he WANTS (eg goi off balance, leave opening for triangle, or give your arm, or give your back) so that you get what you want!
Juijitsu is not a fight. Juijitsu is a sophiticated game of chess.
I have Kukuk and Pedro tapes and in my opinion they are garbage. Why? Because they simply show moves in isolation. Not one integrated strategy for baiting and waiting. I know Royce relied alot of this baiting strategy in his NHB victories in early UFC's. Most laypeople just weren't smart enough to discover that every move he made what to LEAD an opponent. Now of course the competition has caught up. But regardless of his performance, few fighters are relying on the baiting strategy even at professional levels of competition. They're so to speak.. ONE STEP behind. Always reacting to their opponent.
Now the one weakness to this baiting stategy is that you ahve to know you opponent. Big deal.. Would you prepare for war without studying your opponent? No.. They why go about that in a competition.
My own natural sense of intellect guides me into using baiting tricks to get what I want. But i find that I'm spending too much time trying to innovate such movements. I wanna know if there any brazilians masters out their who are willing to show this stuff on tape? They needn't worry because they probably compete with counters to all of these moves if they're smart! But at least release tape sets with a strategy in place.
From what I see so far Sperry does a decent job in his tape sets but I'm afraid even he refuses to show enough of the baiting game. Perhaps these guys are just scared to lose by showing too much.
Any input?
