You should never become the sort of a BJJ student who has only one or two options from any given position. That “strategy” simply won’t work as you climb through the ranks and experience; you’ll not only become predictable, but you’ll also start seriously stagnating in your BJJ journey.
So, here’s the deal: you have to become good with multiple strategies.
