This is cool
Pressure game vs movement based game
Hi everyone. Normally I opt for inside passing when it comes to passing guard and I like to grind my opponents out with heavy crossfaces, smother chokes, belly down strangles etc. Recently my coach suggested I try out more a movement based game with outside passing and transitions to diversify my style. How do I go about making this switch is mindset and style?
