Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time trying to articulate this question, perhaps because I've had only 4 hours of sleep and just finished training for 2.5 hours, or maybe it's because I'm hoping to ask this question in the right way. Maybe the best way to do this is to simply state what's going on.
1. I'll find my way from Ground 0 all the way to New York often, but get stuck between NY and trying to Kung Fu move enough to know there's a problem there.
2. New white belts just coming into the advanced jiu jitsu class with any sort of athletic advantage be it strength or size, I either have a super hard time submitting or simply get smashed by.
3. When I'm in a great offensive position in guard like in NY, or in side control, I'm not finishing any subs or positional advancements as often as I think I should be.
4. I think that maybe I don't have enough developed killer instinct which I think can translate to jiu jitsu as "intense desire to maintain control and finish the takedown/sweep/submission." If anyone has pointers on how to develop incremental and measurable killer instinct in jiu jitsu I'm all ears.
5. How does one even know if they're simply maintaining their current skill or declining or progressing?
This game isn't just physical, it has vast mental aspects which I'm sure many here can expertly expound on.
