I’m very guilty of sparring and rolling with the same person over and over again. After rolling with the same person for a while will cause your technique to suffer. Though you are getting a cardio workout you can’t forget about learning new things. Just like fingerprints everyone has their own unique fighting style, so to dramatically improve your game find yourself a new partner. Switching partners is a great way to improve your ability to adapt to different many fighting styles.
Roll Against A Black Belt? Are You Crazy?
Rolling against the better belts in Jiu Jitsu is a great way to learn new things. This gives you a chance to really get your technique down and defense down. It’s also a huge mental chess game which tests your mind and technique. Even though you may find yourself getting tapped out a lot, it will make you better. 100% Money Back Guarantee.
Turn Your Disadvantages Into Advantages
I only weigh 135lbs, so I test myself by rolling with the biggest guy I can. It pushes me to focus on my technique because there’s no way I can overpower a 200 lb guy. Forget trying to match up with the same weight and skill, go for the best and biggest.
Go spar with the guy with the best hands in your gym, sure you will probably get beat pretty bad but you’ll learn. The more you challenge yourself the better you are. What you put in, is what you get out.
