what are some ways to get out of a rut in jujitsu we’re just talking about this all fair I always get caught in the same spot across sight and can’t move what should I do this is a brutal answer but the truth sure if you have a hard time in a certain position start there every time you start with a person across the Sun across the side until you get used to it and then on top of starting there and you start working your techniques learn some new escapes because whatever you’re doing right now isn’t working so learn some new excuse excape now this doesn’t mean that you need to learn 47 escapes but if you’ve got your one go to escape and it’s not working there’s actually there’s a pretty good chance if you only know one escape from something it’s not gonna work because one escape then the guess what the person has to defend one thing and so they stopped it so learn you know three escapes total maybe four escapes total and these are escapes that must be escapes that kind of chained together which most of the time they do so you learn though and you know you can ask you can ask obviously you can ask your instructor you can ask some of the other students that that you see get out how did you do that you can even go look at YouTube and Google cross light escapes and get some good ideas from there and then you’re gonna have to take risks while you try your new escapes in you can drill them of course but then eventually you’re gonna have to try them live because when you do something in a drill is not the same as doing it live it’s there are adjustments that need to be made and things that you need to figure out and you’re not gonna be successful the first hundred times or 50 times or 28 times or 420 times that you try something you you there’s a lot of little things you got to figure out and you’re gonna get caught in some of those times you’re gonna try something you’re gonna get caught so take risks and try your escapes another point and I’ve probably talked about this before specifically cross-eyed don’t wait until the person settles in before you start your scape is true with anything right this is true life don’t wait until your if you see a bad position coming don’t wait until the position don’t wait until the bad thing actually fully happens to you know start to defend it before it settles in on you you get a bad scenario coming down the line start to aggressively counter that bad thing what whatever it is before it actually gets you hmm and if you can do that then you will be I guarantee that that’s that’s a lot of the problem right there mmm because because you know why cuz getting out of a cross side is a really hard position to get out of I don’t care who you are I’ve a hard time I mean Dean gets a cross side on me it is hard to get out like I mean it it’s really hard to get out yeah so what does that mean yeah that’s a dominant position and that’s the last thing is like you have to take some risks to get out sometimes you got to break the rules to get out you got to do something you got to offer up a possible submission to them that you know it’s coming you know there’s some things that you can do like that but escaping before the situation has occurred to you is a very positive thing you could do that with anything like you’re in a relationship you see something bad coming down the you see a human being you’re in relationship with and you see that the relationship is going in a bad direction if you try and either fix it or end it before the thing goes sideways that’s the smart thing to do don’t wait until everything’s a disaster and you gotta go and get the restraining order or whatever right you’re calling the cops because you got someone that’s acting irrational don’t wait until that moment yeah solve the problem as early as possible is the point yeah so that’s how are you you know that little rut yeah that’s what you said in the beginning the start in bed that bad situation that that’s a huge huh the end I don’t I don’t know if all academies do this but I mean Dean has always done this where before you do open matter that life rolling and whatever like right before that there’s a part where it’s essentially situational training yeah you know you go start control we go for a few minutes or minute half whatever on one man top and bottom obviously and if you get out restart exactly right yeah you know the guys top guys trying to submit the bottom guys the bottom guys trying to escape if the bottom guy escapes you start all over that’s it and the other point to that is if you get submitted it doesn’t count exactly right like it’s okay yeah of course yeah I’m trying new things I’m taking risks so I expect you I I actually expect that you’re gonna get submitted because you’re trying new things if you in fact if you don’t get submitted you fail because you didn’t try something new that was really yeah just stay there yeah yeah that’s not what that drills for and you can feel it too you know like okay sure the guy tapped me out you don’t want them to tap you out but you’re there to escape that’s it you know so it’s not about like winning this match or losing this round or whatever you know you’re and then you get so familiar with being inside control so when you do go live row you’re like I’m familiar because I’ve done this situation for a drill full-speed by though it’s a full-speed drill and yeah you’re just so familiar with that position so not only more comfortable you know those different escapes that you’ve learned you don’t really ER that day or whatever whenever you learned them and then then you can execute my way better if you’re comfortable being uncomfortable yeah but that helped then that helps so much those those situational
