Blog 12: Third Interview Questions

EQ: "How can Gracie Jiu-Jitsu best train a fighter to "Not Lose" in a sparring session?"

With this EQ being the focus of my interview, my required ten questions would be as follows:

-How can Gracie Jiu-Jitsu best train a fighter to "Not Lose" in a sparring session?
-To you, what should be a practitioner's goal in a spar?
-What are the best ways to increase sparring stamina?
-How can practitioners train by themselves?
-What positional controls give the most opportunity to submission?
-Why is keeping calm or keeping focused more important?
-Why is reflection after a sparring session so important?
-How does "Focused Sparring" help a fighter's knowledge of options?
-How can you build faster ground reflexes?
-What parts would Gracie Combatives need to change in order to be 'controlled sparring' ready?
-Why would GJJ make the difference in a controlled sparring session compared to any other martial art?

Now like last time, all these questions are susceptible to change.
