The transition between standing techniques and ground techniques are rarely taught in BJJ. This is a small window of opportunity that is often neglected in BJJ. Capitalising on this moment is a speciality high level Judokas and Sambo players.

A perfect example of a Judo player that had mastered the transition game in Judo is Olympic bronze medalist Flavio Canto of Brazil. As soon as he would throw his opponent, he would make them fall in a way where he would already be setting up his submission on the ground. Canto is also a black belt in BJJ.

In order to transition from standing to ground, A gameplan in a BJJ match is really useful and can make a big difference in the outcome of a match. Many average BJJ players have beaten superior competitors because they had a game plan and stuck to it.

Having well-thought-out plan, having a goal, you avoid the fact of reacting to what your opponent does. You actually impose your game and your will.

To be effective you need to work on putting on a Game Plan that will have set transitions. This is the secret of all the best competitors in the world.

Mastering one position on the ground is never enough, to be a complete fighter you must know how to move effectively from position, always progressing the fight to a better position, before you secure a submission.
