Isolating a limb in Jiu-Jitsu

Isolating a limb in Jiu-Jitsu can be very beneficial to winning. Here’s my idea on your whole body versus their one limb: One of the essential principles of BJJ is to create temporary physical advantage by seeking to use their strength of your entire body against a single isolated limb of an opponent. The idea is simple but profound. An opponents whole body may well be stronger than your whole body – but one of his legs or one of his arms is certainly not stronger than your whole body. If you can create a temporary strength advantage over an important part of your opponent’s body – a knee, an elbow, a neck – then you can overcome an overall strength disadvantage by creating a temporary localized strength advantage in your favor and you can hold it long enough to end a match. This is one of the theoretical underpinnings of Jiu-Jitsu – make it the centerpiece of your approach to the game
