Consider how these factors influence your jiu-jitsu style and strategy.

For example, a practitioner with a larger frame may focus on pressure and distance management, using their size to control opponents. Conversely, a smaller, more agile individual might prioritize speed and dynamic movements to create scrambles and exploit openings.
