have to say heart and composure as well, mostly because of my personal situation. I have been training BJJ with a great friend of mine for about a year, and we roll all the time. He is as skilled as me, if not more (i'd say in total he has probobly put me in more submissions than I've put him in), but I win almost every time and the problem is that he taps to any semblence of a submission, immidietly, even if the triangle was loose, even if the armbar could be rolled, whereas when he throws me in a triangle I power out and when he puts me in an armbar I dont tap if there is a way out. That is the sole difference between us, his skills are easily up to par with mine technically, but thats always the difference maker.
