While many Jiu-Jitsu students may think that getting better at submission attacks is the key to getting better at Jiu-Jitsu, the truth is that improving your positional escapes will make the biggest difference in your game.
ㅤ
With an improvement in your ability to escape, you will be spending less time in bad positions during matches and as a result, far less likely to get submitted.
ㅤ
Let’s take a look at some positional escapes from some of Gracie Barra’s top instructors.
