As you engage in any given move, make sure you’ve got the next few plotted out ahead of time in response to likely reaction to your first move. Learning to integrate moves as responses to likely reactions into sequences and clusters is a fine method of bypassing resistance. Jiu Jitsu doesn’t put guarantees on many things - but one thing you definitely can put a guarantee on is that any move you attempt will be met by strong resistance. It is imperative therefore, that you have answers to all the most likely reactions to your initial move ahead of time. Don’t plot too far out into the future - we’re Jiu Jitsu players not soothsayers - we can make rational predictions a few moves deep but anymore than that and it’s just an unwarranted guess. This is when the game becomes artful and knowledge and skill intertwine to get great results.
