Summary: BE WELL ROUNDED - Have a good defence: Escapes from pins and subs, good guard retention and not being held in pins for long - Have a good offence: from guard - sweeps/reversals and submissions, be well rounded in offensive positions, passing positions, good at standing positions incl. Guard pulling, submissions from multiple positions, pins and submissions from pins, subs in transition e.g. seeing opportunity, well rounded submission game. Games for each sub section rather than just one overall. Positions, techniques and systems based on your body type and attributes that favour you best. You'll find that you favour positions above others and develop systems above that.
Please keep this kind of content up. Big, overarching ideas. The barrier of entry for this sport is so high, with so many techniques, that it's so easy to get lost in technique chasing instead of being growth oriented.
Great content that gives a lot of value. Much more than just a technique video. But Giancarlo, the cuts with sudden zoom changes are quiet irritating and disturbing when watching. Please, keep creating this content!
For developing pin escapes, would you advise putting myself in bad positions during live rolling by letting people pass my guard on purpose & then escaping? I heard 2 contradicting oppinions on that topic - some people say I shouldn't do that because it builds bad habits in terms of guard retention, others encourage letting your guard get passed. Just wondered what's your oppinion on that. Would you advise I let people pass my guard in order to practice pin escapes as a broad topic in live rolling for the next 3 weeks? :)

Nice delivery brother. You are a great coach.
As a 47 year-old purple, this is gold.
Don't forget the tren. Key to a solid game.
