What can you learn from Roger Gracie?
#BJJ, #competition
Fundamentals matter. You have to practice your defence and being in bad places to be a complete fighter. When you are developing your own game, you have to feel what comes naturally. Don’t try to force your way but focus on things that come naturally. Positional sparring is important – both attack and defence.
