The Secret to Safer Jiu-Jitsu

In Jiu-Jitsu, the battle isn't always against your opponent; sometimes, it's against your instinct to resist. Learning to 'go with the flow' isn’t about giving up-it's about moving smartly to prevent injuries and escape tough spots.
Ever been caught in a submission? The key isn't to fight against the force but to understand the direction it’s leading you and use it to your advantage. Whether it's an omoplata or a toe hold, the right movement can be your escape route. 🔄
Remember, the best fighters aren't just strong-they're wise about their moves.

Are there any situations in which this is a bad idea? I.e. when rolling into it will give your partner the submission/snap a bone.

It’s a generality and usually best performed early on with submissions that have a rotational component. Submissions that are finished in more of a linear nature (armbar, straight ankle lock) it can be hard to “go with it” as a defense. In training, when unsure, the safest bet is to tap and review the position to be certain you are applying the correct escape.
