Positions
A dominant position is a place in BJJ where you have stronger control, safer balance, and better access to attacks than your partner does.
You are in the stronger spot, with more options and less immediate danger.
Dominant positions make it easier to pin, apply pressure, slow escapes, and build clean submissions.
You hear it around side control, mount, back control, and other places where one person has clear advantage.
Beginners improve fast when they understand why some positions are worth holding instead of rushing past them.
