Listen "#29 - Solo - BJJ CAN Work in MMA...Here's How"
Episode Synopsis
MMA is an extremely dynamic sport which has been heavily influenced by Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
That doesn't mean that if you practice the art of BJJ that you’ll be successful in the MMA cage as most BJJ practitioners are not learning the art with MMA as their main focus, in fact most Jiujiteiros practice for self defence and sport BJJ purposes.
A totally different approach is needed to succeed in the cage at the highest levels and with certain fine tuning of your BJJ engine, you will be a totally different animal when entering the cage and a force to be dealt with.
Here are the things you need to change if you want to sharpen your BJJ for the cage.
