It's an art and a science. Learning the science will elevate your expression of the art.

It's the same across all sports. "Simple things done well" was my rugby coaches mantra.

I always say. People are like Pokémon or Video game fighting characters.<br><br>They all have their special moves.<br><br>Their weaknesses or styles that give them trouble. Many times people are even like rock paper scissors.

He is so right "...basics..." is so essential to improve in anything i.e., striking and grappling. I say "and" because nowadays you got to train both. Its easy to get carried away with so many techniques on the internet nowadays. One of my instructors once said if you want someone not to learn anything give them to much information not to little. Good advice!!!

The octopus is just a fundamental guard when you pass the back and arms of the opponent. If we are talking mma it is fundamental and shouldn't be lumped with buggy choke. The octopus has all of the same attacks available just from a different, safer angle. Doesn't take away from your message.

I’m that specialized guy. <br>15 years of grappling and MMA thinking I’m hot shit. <br>41 years old now. <br>My game is a swiss cheese, because I didn’t listen. <br>Damn, I wish I had practiced the basics a lot more in the beginning. <br>Trying to cach up now isn’t that fun, but what else can you do…?!

Great stuff! So personal style is something that grows naturally and organically from mastering the basics. That makes a lot of sense to me.
