Well, said, likuid.....

How many of us could consistently trap someone in a triangle during those first few sessions on the mat? While cupless in the first few BJJ lessons, how many of us could perform an armbar without crushing our nuts?

I heard Roy Harris remark once that as we progress through grappling, the game becomes smaller and smaller. The Chess/BJJ cliche' is an interesting comparison, but there are too many intangibles in the latter to formulate a "blueprint" of reliable counters and attacks for every situation.
