Sport Grappling has a variety of different strategies being employed by competitors. Some are takedown/pin specialists, others are guard/submission specialists, while other train for versatility. Some train for technique, others train for intense strength and conditioning. That can be further broken down into....
Takedowns - Judo or wrestling?
Guard - Open, half, closed, butterfly, x-guard, etc.
Submissions - Leg-lock specialist, choke specialist, arm bar specialist.
The game is really progressing and getting deeper here in America, and the variety of styles is very interesting to watch.
My question to the community is, what is your preferred strategy for sport grappling?
I like takedown and pin, but find at higher level, passing the guard, especially having to avoid submissions, gets increasingly difficult.
