Pick your shot - where do you start?

[skribs]

New game we've started playing in BJJ is Pick Your Shot. The game is simple, one player is the "top" at the start of a 2.5-minute round. They get to pick the starting position. Live roll, once there's a submission, reset, top player again picks their shot. After 2.5 minutes, switch top/bottom, the other player gets to call their shot.

Your shot could be something simple like "mount" or "side control." Or it could be a 90%-locked-in submission.

In the position that you want to work on
For example at the moment I’ve working on getting triangles from mount so whenever we do specific sparring I choose mount. I also tell my partner that’s what I’m working on so their defence is the best it can be
I think these kind of exercises are very good to get deep into executing specific techniques against a defending opponent
General sparring is when I work on transitions and changes as opposed to focusing on specific techniques
