How To Spar in Jiu Jitsu Without Gassing Out #jiujitsu #jiujitsutraining #friscotx
Why are you completely exhausted after just a few minutes of rolling in Jiu-Jitsu?
For many new BJJ students, it isn’t just conditioning. White belts often have fewer techniques and less-developed timing, so they compensate by using strength and trying to force the moves they know—even when those moves aren’t working.
Professor Matthew Jones explains that experienced grapplers learn to change “gears” during a round. You don’t need to redline for five straight minutes. Sometimes you conserve energy; other times you increase the intensity to pass a guard, finish a sweep, escape a choke, or get out of danger.
As your technique and timing improve, so does your ability to regulate your energy while sparring.
