Use your feet like hands: The single biggest problem most people have when they begin Jiu jitsu comes from the fact that we spend our whole lives living in a hand/arm dominated world – almost all our daily skill actions are performed mostly with hands and arms. Our feet and legs are used only for locomotion, not for dexterous, skilled tasks. Then we come into Jiu jitsu and discover that most of the game is played with feet and legs with hands and arms very much in second place in importance. Learning to rely on feet/legs over hands/arms is the biggest and most important mental and physical shift you can make. The earlier you make it, the better.
