A powerful skill every BJJ player needs (it’s difficult to develop though)
A powerful skill every BJJ player should develop is. . .
Learning when to change your game vs your opponent’s.
You see, depending on the situation you might be better served to change your plan of action. I do this all the time.
For instance, against a larger superior wrestler I’ll pull half or butterfly guard.
If I’m in top position I have specific ways of passing guard depending on my opponent’s guard style.
And I can change these before a match or even mid roll if I need. This allows me to find the place of least resistance.
And bring my strongest weapons to their weakest area.
And while it’s a difficult skill to develop, I’ve found that having your own set of rules for BJJ helps make it easier.
Your rules become a type of template or scaffolding to build on.
For example, if I am faced with a good Half Guard player I will dominate their top arm and keep my hips back. Doing this denies them the under hook and the ability to underneath my hips.
With 1 simple grip fighting technique I’m able to stop their sweeps and keep them from getting underneath my legs for leg locks.
And this is just one of the many ideas I share in my Rules for BJJ: Vol. 1 series. Besides the top arm control in half guard there are 20+ concepts and strategies that can help you formulate your own rules.

Now I say YOUR own rules because there is rarely 1 way of doing anything in Jiu-jitsu.
And while many of the rules I share are timeless. You may find your own tweaks or adjustments to them.
Either way, it pays in the long-term to be a thinking-for-yourself kind of person when it comes to BJJ.
So if you jump into the members area. Dig in, but think about how it would specifically work for YOUR game.
And whether you snag the course or not. As time goes on, be on the lookout for developing strategies vs specific styles and games.
