Submission Only Training Strategies

[Josh Passini]

I'm starting rolling/train/condition for 15min but working like we still only 5/6 min. Output wise if you don't get tired it will be easier capitalize on mistakes and force the action. Outworking and pressure to prevail. Tightening up techniques and working a lot off the scramble. Working out of bad situations.

Do you guys think cardio, strength and conditioning are gonna be more or less of a factor in this type of format? Pushing the pace and trying to win the points game over the course of 5-6 minutes requires a different type of conditioning and even philosophy, I believe.

[John Alighieri]

I'd definitely make sure that on top of having a slick ground game, I would also be able to push a solid pace for 25 mins before having a break to recover. Train for 25 compete for 15min and you'll be good to go

Eddie has been doing a lot of squeezing drills. Working to hold and finish the final positions.

I think finesse and technique are the focus of training for this format (esp. with no time limit) in my blue belt opinion. lol

Tenth planet really shines in this format. An x guard or deep half sweep to your opponents guard isn’t worth nearly as much (still of value), but an electric-chair sweep, for example, with a build in submission attempt and a guaranteed dominate position, is worth a lot more. Everyone should still work their game, but I’d take that into considerations when picking which sweeps to teach. That’s just me though.

You're right. Sweep with a pass is huge.

Used to see some of them damn wrestlers fuck people up in those short formats. They would win every damn thing.

Hmmm.... So you think just pull guard and let's get going?

i deff think you could slow it down...of course most people wont, and will continue to go 150% from the start. but the setting is there to really just slow it down and allow your opponent to over extend himself. you could go into it with the 5-6 min push philosophy if you wanted to, but you could take your time as well. i like that idea. especially when his over extension isnt getting him points and only getting me closer to tiring him out and subbing
