Will it work on a white belt?
I drilled this triangle on my grappling dummy dozens of times. I wanted to see how this isolated technique would transfer to a live training partner.
Did I get the triangle? Nope.
But the process led directly to a sweep, and that’s an important lesson. Live training doesn’t always follow the script. Most of the time the value isn’t in forcing the submission, but in recognizing the reactions and taking what your opponent gives you.
That’s one of the biggest differences between dummy training and live rolling.
Have you ever drilled something for weeks only to have it play out completely differently on the mats?
