Gameplans in BJJ - Part One - The Miyao Brothers

[completesky]

Disclaimer: this is made by me. So it's probably terrible.



This is the first video in a series I am making that will focus on what a gameplan is in BJJ and how to dissect it. The lens we are looking through in this episode is that of the Miyao brothers.
I just kind of made this to find out how many other people think the way I think? I don't know. Maybe it will be useful to somebody.

If you wanted a kind of routine based on the analysis shown in this video, then I would recommend the following:

Static drilling (five minute rounds):
-Using the omoplata from lasso to set up the spin-under (trigger)
-Alternating between the crab ride, the lasso and the twister hook (core)
-Crossing the ankles and stepping through mount to finish the choke
-Omoplata to back take to choke (2/3 machine)
-Berimbolo to crab ride to twsiter hook back take to choke finish (complete machine)

I don't know, maybe if you drill like this you could kind of start to understand some of the intricacies of the Miyao brothers? Sorry if I'm rambling a lot...

Game plan stuff is useful. I firmly believe that game plans are highly underrated in BJJ, anyone who competes should have a well defined (and well drilled) answer for what they want to do in all the major positions, how they intend to start the match, etc. It's no accident that the best competitors are always seen working the same positions in the same sequence, that's how you beat other people who are as good as you: force them into areas where you're better, and thereby avoid their strengths.

Very cool, I would like to think I kinda take the same approach to looking at game plans as you. I've never really sat down and thought about defining it though. The idea of the "trigger, core, end" was very interesting.

Also when "the end" came up I was like dafuq there's still 2 and a half minutes, then I realized it was a chapter title.

Looking forward to the Cummings video.

Also you lied...

Your video of the Miyaos is about their skillset, not their gameplan. A gameplan is a strategy to defeat a specific opponent of which you know going in what their skillsets and tendencies are.

You use tactics to execute strategies. You use strategies to overcome skillsets, positions, and physical attributes. You use gameplans to defeat a specific opponents tendencies to use specific skillsets, positions, and physical attributes.

Not that my opinion really matters, but I think its great!

I'm going to release the breakdown right when you least expect it so that you are in constant fear
