This week we talk about some common and simple combinations we have been using in BJJ. Systems are a bit more involved and require a bit more development for your game. If you are not using combinations and systems you should strive to get them in your game.

We talk about:

• We define combinations and systems as they relate to BJJ
• Our first combinations that worked for us
• What we are currently doing
