Energy Conservation

Energy conservation emphasizes using leverage, timing, and technique to minimize fatigue during training or competition. Rather than relying solely on strength, efficient grapplers focus on movements that maximize effect while reducing unnecessary exertion.

By applying principles like proper base, angles, and connection, practitioners can maintain high performance over longer periods. Conserving energy also allows for smarter strategic decisions, better positional recovery, and sustained pressure without losing effectiveness, making it a cornerstone of competitive BJJ strategy.
