We are commonly engaged in high resistance environments when we are sparring. We are working against our partner's will and tenacity to submit us in a roll. We will often find ourselves in situations where technique that we want cannot be applied just yet.
Something I always ask myself when evaluating a roll or tape is the following :
'Was there a technical fault or was it a timing fault?' This gives me clarity in 2 lines of thinking because there also may be a situation where it was a bit of both rather than one or the other.
These metronome exercises are a basic way to visualise how to beat your partner's timing in a solo setting that is unresisted. We must reduce the level of complexity and resistance in order to better understand how to operate in high resistance environments. It is difficult to constantly try and problem solve in a high resistance environment. My personal recommendation from my own experience is to play with the levels of resistance in such a way that you can use your own internal world and visualisation to run through the potential actions your partner might try to do in response to your movement.

▽ABOUT ME▽
I'm Margot, a 5-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and high performance coach. I took my first BJJ class in the UK just before my 19th birthday and I'm now a black belt at Unity Jiu Jitsu in New York under Murilo Santana.
I’m passionate about providing world class Brazilian jiu jitsu coaching to anywhere in the world, because for most of my career I was based in Europe and Asia, without access to high level jiu jitsu. My aim is to win with beautiful, superior movement quality and not just win for winning’s sake.
