What should blue belts focus on in BJJ?

According to Gordon Ryan, blue belts should continue building escape skills but start transitioning into attacks. The focus shifts from just escaping to escapes into attacks. You cannot just escape, escape, escape - you need to go from a defensive cycle into an offensive cycle. Learn to escape and immediately go into your own attacks, whether sweeps or submissions.
