Learning Grappling Theory?
The question mark above is there because I am still not certain that everyone needs to spend time devising complex theories in terms of how they set up their BJJ game. Coaches? Absolutely. Recreational athletes? Perhaps, since they have time and not much in terms of training demands. Professional athletes? Nope, definitely not.
Let me explain. The training demands on professional athletes, whether they are grapplers or part of any other sport, are so huge that most of the day is training, recovery, nutrition, and talking strategy. The emphasis here is on the word “talking” strategy, as this is where coaches and instructors play the pivotal role.
I believe that dedicating time to figuring out how to grow your game plan, draw flowcharts, and build excellent sheets is something that a pro cannot waste time on. It is essential, yes, but that is exactly why coaches who oversee pro athletes have to be able to build this for the athlete and only adjust it using feedback.
The Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD offers a simple way to approach building the backbone of a BJJ game plan, from a theoretical standpoint. It also shows how you can implement it, and if you’re a coach this is a must-watch. The best way BJJ students can use it is to begin utilizing the concepts early in their careers, given that they aim to be world-class competitors.
GBs “Queen K”: World Champ Kendall Reusing
Kendal is a BJJ black belt under Tom Reusing, who happens to be her father. She is also a two-time Polaris open-weight world champion, three-time IBJJF No-Gi World Champion, has one No-Gi IBJJF Pans title and SHHIF World Title and gold at the 2021 ADCC Trials to her name. She has also won 4 US Nationals in high school, as well as the California State Championship in wrestling.
Reusing embodies the Gracies’ way of approaching Jiu-Jitsu, being exposed to it from the earliest age through her father, a Nelson Monteiro black belt. Kendall began training at the age of 5 and complimented her training with lots of Judo and wrestling along the way. The result, as expected is a world-class grappler who, at the age of 26 still has boundaries to push in the BJJ World.
Kendal took a brief hiatus from BJJ to focus on wrestling while she was part of Team USA during her college years but quickly returned to the sport she grew up with. A member of the Gracie Barra team, Reusing has an impressive record of 38 wins and 17 losses as a black belt.
Obviously raised to compete, she now shares her knowledge on how to put together a game plan for grappling, through her Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD instructional.
Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD Review
as part of the Kendall Reusing Jiu-Jitsu Roadmap series, the Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD offers a theoretical blueprint and methodology on how to build your competition game.
It covers Gi and No-Gi strategies, how to put your plan to paper, and how to implement everything in training. The instrucitonal has 3 volumes and lasts around an hour.
Part 1 – Building a Game Plan Like a Pro Athlete
As this unusual but promising Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD begins, Kendall immediately shows she knows exactly what she is talking about. Reusing begins by shortly introducing the importance of building an ever-evolving game plan for BJJ before explaining how to develop one.
She has a 5-stage process that she presents in reverse order, placing emphasis on submissions, working backward through gaining to position and moving through pins, merging takedowns and guard pulls, and all the way back to the initial moments of standing without an engagement.
Part 2 – Introducing the BJJ Tree
Teh second part of the Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD is somewhat short, as she only focuses on deconstructing the concept of the BJJ tree that is the foundation of her game-building approach.
The tree analogy is actually very useful, as Kendal suggests you shouldn’t discard what you already know and use it in BJJ in favor of introducing new stuff. As you grow your BJJ arsenal, so should your gameplan tree, but you should always keep watering your foundational game consisting of the trunk and biggest branches.
A very cool and applicable analogy that makes a lot of sense, especially when Reusing pairs it with her training approach that she says will help you improve faster as long as you stick to your game plan using different training partners.
Part 3 – Gi and No-Gi BJJ Game Plans
Teh final portion of the Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD covers the key question of how to have one game for both Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu. While it is impossible to replicate the same game, Reusingni guides us through the essential adaptations we need to make to ensure the game plans are not completely different and still highly effective.
She also shares something she only shared in a 1-on-1 setting so far, and that is how to set up a personalized growth plan in regard to your game, and how to measure your progress over six months.
Building Your Game Plan
Developing a clear set of directions is a must if you are a competitor. Once again, your coach should be guiding you through this, especially if you are a complete beginner or a professional. It is a lot easier to perform when you have defined directions to follow and in the case of advanced competitors, alternative routes to the same destination.
I had to figure stuff out on my own as a competitor, but I can safely claim that my game changed significantly when I decided to focus on a select few things that tied in together rather than just winging it at a tournament. I was a blue belt at the time and I never really stopped devising game plans since, although most of the plans these days are for my students.
A good game plan is the difference between professional and recreational athletes and you can mimic, or even surpass professionals in that regard. If you’re still trying to figure out how BJJ competition works, the Kendall Reusing Mindset Jiu-Jitsu Accelerator DVD is going to help you form a foundation for your game in years to come.
In a perfect world though, a coach would take on this responsibility, leaving you more time to prepare for your matches.
