Don't Wait! Tournaments

So I was coaching some of my students this weekend and some things that need to be emphasized. When the referee stops the action and resets you, you have to be careful and be ready. First off, do not let the referee restart you with different grips than you had before. If you had a lapel grip and the referee tries to make you grab his sleeve, don't let him. Or if your opponent tries to get a grip he didn't have don't let him, do not engage until the proper grips are established. Get the grips you had, do not let the referee dictate. Second off, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, when the referee says "go" you need to GO. Don't wait like it's training at the school where you slap hands and just slowly go. When the referee says "go" you have a split second opportunity where your opponent may not be 100% ready for an explosive move, you need to take advantage of that. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a "controlled fight" and needs to be treated as such. If you want a good idea of what I mean, watch from NCAA wrestling videos, look how fast, hard, and explosive the wrestlers move when the referee blows the whistle (top and bottom position). That same mindset needs to be implemented in BJJ.
