What's your strategy when you begin a BJJ match?
"The beginning of the match is about the only part that I do well. I've gone 0-5 this year after being up 2-0 or 4-2 in four of those five matches until the final few minutes. All my points are either off ankle picks or pulling half guard and getting a quick sweep.
I'm not especially aggressive. But I try very hard to control the space to avoid getting pulled into guard because passing the guard is my weakest area. I'd rather not start off the match that way if I can avoid it."
