The other thread seems to be going in several directions so I thought I’d break this one out?
KF … I was quite surprised when you posted that you had learned over 1300 BJJ techniques. I really had no idea there were that many. Of the 1300, how may do you feel proficient at? How do you practice that many moves?
For everyone … How many moves do you know, and how many moves do you feel a person has to know to be a good ground fighter?
Highlander:
I feel that I am somewhat proficient at most of the techs that I have learned over the years. Some of the techs I don’t use because I don’t feel they are suited to me. I also run into the problem of forgetting to use some of them in the appropriate situations. I am constantly going back through my notes and going over techs that I have been leaving out of my repetoire.
I don’t know how many techs you need to be a good ground fighter, but it is a lot.
Sparring lets you practice a lot of techniques. I am going to guess that I might use anywhere from 30 to 100 techs in 15 to 20 minutes of sparring.
