When I was researching BJJ rolling tips<\/a>, one thing was clear:<\/p>\n It’s important to set AT LEAST<\/em> one goal for every roll<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This will help you:<\/p>\n Retain what you’ve just learned.<\/p>\n Fix your weaknesses.<\/p>\n Develop your strengths.<\/p>\n So what are some examples of BJJ training goals? Which ones should be the priority?<\/strong><\/p>\n In Breaking Muscle\u2019s article<\/a> about goal setting while rolling, this quote really stood out:<\/p>\n \u201c…if you approach rolling with the mindset of, \u201cHow many people can I tap out,\u201d then you are going to end up with a short and unsuccessful BJJ career.

So…<\/p>\n Have a favourite position? Why not focus your training on transitions to this position from all other positions? Guard passes to back, side control to back, mount to back, back takes from guard… you get the picture.<\/p>\n Start your rolls in the bottom of the mount, side control, or your back taken. Sure, you’ll probably get tapped… but you will get better at escapes from these positions.<\/p>\n Check out<\/strong>: The Ace of Escapes by Prof. Gustavo Gasperin<\/a><\/p>\n Base, posture, structure?
