  • The Law of Large Numbers

    BJJ is a numbers game. As in, you need to do a lot of it to know where you're at competitively. Only volume can offset randomness.

    We have pretty good data to support the claim that taking a fighter to the ground, while not always safe, is usually SAFER than keeping it on the feet.
