Could you elaborate on that? Would you say this is true of most martial arts?

- mtrycz 11y agoI don't do BJJ, but am familiar with it and have done some judo. In contrast to stand-up striking arts, you have limited possibilities of movement when "hugging" your opponent on the ground, so you need to do have a strategy, do some planning, and have to adapt rapidly to changing conditions. Like "what move can I do in the current position?", "what moves could my opponent pull off form this position?", "what moves could I do if I changed to this other position?", etc. etc. I do believe that you won't find any better than anecdotal evidence for this subject, tho. Expecially if you'd need to compare between arts.
- vocatus_gate 11y agoI've always felt the chess analogy applied to rock climbing when I did it. Like a constant "game" against the wall and my body, to see if I could manoeuvre into position to attain the next hold. Very stimulating and at the same time relaxing.
