Think quick: what are some of the things that you are not doing right now – that you should be doing – and that would be extremely useful to your success in BJJ?
Yeah, using pressure probably wasn’t the first thing that came to mind.
However, utilizing pressure is the quickest way to fatigue your opponents in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. John Danaher explains further:
