Marcelo, Jon, Scott, and Matheus talk about ADCC-style rulesets: Setting a hard, steady, and fast pace right from the get-go is a great way to throw off your opponent's rhythm for dragging you into deep water and eking out minor decision victory via points. Many times if an opponent is not alert or prepared to adequately address your attack, they will also have a hard time answering back with the proper response for defending a subsequent submission attempt. Follow-up your passing or sweeping techniques immediately with honest try for a finish. However, if point-scoring goes into effect mid-match, keep ahold of any advantageous positions that will lend themselves toward future scoring opportunities.
