Hi guys. As many of you know, I aspire to compete professionally in BJJ and at a high level too. I am aware that many high level competitors study tape and footage to improve their jiujitsu. However, I am unsure of how to actually study it, where to start, and how it would actually carry over to the mats. So far, the only thing I’ve been doing it is finding all the videos of a specific technique or set of techniques within a position I am focusing on, and constantly watch them on repeat over time to absorb as many details as I can whilst I focus my training time on hitting that technique.
Every now and then, I will watch some stuff online for the sake/fun of it because I am bored, but I will rarely actually use it or focus on it. As for watching tape, I just don’t know what to look for. Should I watch tape of people applying the techniques I am focusing on? Watch stuff for general concepts? Also, can we talk about how downright boring competitive BJJ matches are to watch? It’s terribly unexciting.
