It's important to be able to dial your aggression level up or down in a BJJ match. There are essentially 3 ways to do this...

#1, by using so-called 'dick' moves, and/or

#2, by using more force and strength, and/or

#3, by simply moving faster.

You turn the dials on these 3 variables in your training, but be especially careful if you're using options 1 and 2 against smaller training partners or people who aren't serious competitors.

This question came from a Q&A I did on Instagram - follow me there where I'm @stephan_kesting or by clicking here: https://www.instagram.com/stephan_kesting
