QUICK AND USEFUL BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU BASICS TIPS

Physical aspects
#1: Heels Close to Your Butt
One of the primary sources of strength when wrestling is your hip bridge. It’s among the most powerful motions of the body. If you're skeptical, visit YouTube and check out the numbers that people put on barbell hip bridges as well as the amount they can deadlift and that's what lift with the highest numbers! For a successful hip bridge, it is essential to keep your heels near to the butt of your body as you can as possible. The further away they are from your butt, the less your bridge will be.

#2: Be a T-Rex not a Chicken
In addition to the fact that anybody would rather be a T-Rex rather than chicken what we really mean is to keep your elbows away from you. A slack elbow can be a very powerful lever that is easily used by your adversaries some examples include Kimuras and Omoplatas. Maintaining your elbows to your ribs throughout a variety of situations is among the fundamental principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

#3: Adopt a Lifting Posture
The posture is the same in every position and is a common beginner error; often, we see people ‘shell up', stretching their spines and crunching in an attempt to cover their muscles. This can reduce their effectiveness. Try adopting a 'lifting' position that is strong similar to how you would perform heavy deadlifts or squats: take control of your hips, instead of your chest. Keep your legs and your core and maintain your spine straight. Be aware that anyone trying to alter you by pulling your lapel is essentially exactly the same as carrying a huge barbell thrown across your back!

Mental aspects
#4: Concentrate on your breathing
The main focus of fighting is ‘Mushin' or a state of being in a state of no-mind. If you've ever tried meditation or yoga then you'll be aware of how breathing can provide a strong anchor for all your erratic thoughts. Do the same thing during your roll and you'll realize that you can see strategies and opportunities that you may not have noticed particularly those happening to you! Although we're filing this under Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals however, it really is a skill that everyone at all levels must be practicing every day.
