Chasing, Cutting Off & Cornering a Stalling Opponent
Advanced Lesson Part 4 of 5 -- Marcelo reiterates on the importance of learning how to focus against someone willing to not take any risks or chances that would let you turn the tides and potentially score on them: If you're down on points, and your opponent can has a wide enough spread to absorb intentional penalties for stalling, you must concentrate on your selected efforts. Your opponent may run away, stall you out with inoffensive grips, lay and pray, or even simply hold you down with your posture broken inside their Closed Guard. Keep diligently working against your opponents' tactics by increasing how much you risk opening up your own position for the sake of forward progress and ultimately, make them pay for attempting such a passive but understandably justified response within the rules.
