Do you roll to win or just go with the Flow? Trying to win every roll may make you feel tough but this isn't necessarily the best way to learn and improve your game.
The playful and creative approach can allow you to see positions and techniques that you might otherwise miss if you are only going for the Kill.
Some of this depends on your training partners but setting an intention to be more relaxed and to try something new can open up your game.
Joey opens up about his new BJJ mindset to become "Joe Berimbolo" and JT explains the role of drilling in skill development.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
