When all else is equal…

I’ve heard this saying a lot: ” When all skills are equal, strength or speed will make the difference.”

I would however like to present another perspective.  Mindset is everything.  If someone tries to force or do a technique quickly, those resources are perishable.  Mindset, timing, and patience are all the difference makers when it comes to a real battle.  That way, waiting for the right opportunity, and conserving energy for that precious moment when we can escape, reverse or submit any opponent is the secret to efficiency in Jiu Jitsu.
