Réflexions martiales d’un Hypnofighter#12: La préparation technique
Nous pouvons apprendre des centaines de techniques et les maîtriser, mais si nous ne sommes pas aptes à les inclure avec une transition adéquate, notre technique ne servira à rien. Nous le constatons en MMA, où un excellent frappeur ou lutteur peut soudainement se retrouver complètement perdu dans un combat, car son adversaire étouffe toutes ses actions. Nous nous retrouvons dans un affrontement qui ne se déroule pas comme prévu. Cela se produit également dans notre quotidien d’entraînement, que ce soit pour du grappling ou de la boxe : si nous n’atteignons pas la première étape de notre technique, nous ne pourrons pas la faire briller.

Martial Musings of a Hypnofighter #12: Technical Preparation
We can learn hundreds of techniques and master them, but if we’re not able to seamlessly transition them, our technique will be of no use. We see this in MMA, where an excellent striker or wrestler can suddenly find themselves completely lost in a fight as their opponent smothers all their actions. We find ourselves in a confrontation that doesn’t unfold as planned. This also happens in our daily training, whether it’s grappling or boxing: if we can’t reach the first step of our technique, we won’t be able to make it shine.
One beauty of combat sports lies in this dimension: we know that some opponents possess special techniques, and we strategize to prevent them from initiating these techniques by blocking the first step. In gripping systems, this often translates to a strong grip. In striking, it’s the initial movement, often a jab, that we don’t allow to land.
We spend a lot of time practicing technically, and I suppose, like me, you’ve often been frustrated because you couldn’t implement your game. Your opponent quickly initiated their own game, consistently putting you on the back foot.
We’re no longer in the mindset of executing our technique but preventing the other from establishing their game. It’s a particularly delicate moment, and we need to at least return to a neutral position to be able to set up the movement we want. However, the fatigue that accumulates during the fight makes it more challenging to revert to our starting point to enter our game. If we manage it, there will likely be resistance, and as Leitao said, the opponent will strive to prevent us from doing what they don’t know. In reality, we shouldn’t let them do anything that doesn’t align with our technique.
It might sound easy on paper, but on the mat, it’s much more complicated. We spend a lot of time preparing. While in striking systems, a strike can land upon initiation, in grappling and especially on the ground, there are still many variables, including the specific angles of each opponent we face (size, weight, muscle dynamics). Even with proper preparation and well-executed technique, success isn’t immediate and can even make us doubt when we attempt our action.
There’s no miracle solution in BJJ. We know we prepare and offer techniques that we believe are effective, but we never know if the opponent isn’t a specialist in countering that move or if they haven’t prepared a specific response to our key technique. This is particularly visible in bolo movements and taking the back during different fighters’ actions.
Spending time training technically is important, but mental preparation is equally crucial and must be developed and worked on. And you, are you able to reach the first step of your techniques?
Take what is good and right for you. Be one Pank
