Would it make sense to drill positions and transitioning from one position to another on a dummy?

I'm a 2nd degree black belt in traditional Kung Fu, black sash in Shaolin temple tai chi. I started BJJ two months ago, and I'm a whiter shade of pale in BJJ. IT'S TOTALLY V DIFFERENT! But I'm a good way. I'm meeting good people and it's a very positive experience.

Stages of a purple belt next?

Complete newbie starting at my first gym soon at the age of 39. I’ve talked to a few guys at my powerlifting gym who do jujitsu and they all think I’ll have problems finding people to roll with. I have 10 years of wrestling background and 25+ in the strongman / powerlifting world. At 6’3 280 they don’t think I’ll find a lot local guys willing to roll with me. But I’m going in knowing outside of my wrestling background l don’t know shit and I’d love to go slow and learn with someone who isn’t going to immediately try and dislocate my elbow as someone who still love powerlifting and works in construction while also having a 2 year old I want to eventually do jujitsu with me the injury anxiety is there

Thank you we are new to bjj i just put my child in the class and wasn't sure how to dress her appropriately, now know thank you

I cranked an ankle lock so hard today that I could feel the guys tibia bending. Eventually I just let go and went for something else

Does this guy even have a tattoo?

Been training for about a month and remembering to take it easy and not “hard” is something that tends to slip a few times during sessions . The last recent session was the first time I had to different rolling partners tell me to take it “friendly “ and slow to let the movements register. Coming from a wrestling background this is something I need to have seeded into my thought process I’m in my late 30s and the majority are blue and purple belt partners I just remember that we all need to go back home in one peace

This is helpful, but I am still not sure what I’m supposed to do. I’m 225 lbs, 6’1” and a meathead. I’m still new. I try to be nice to everyone. But it is difficult to balance what your saying. The main thing is play guard. I’m not sure if that means I should be letting someone win rather than use my strength. Coach will point me out to class or use me as an example of why certain techniques have to be done using your strongest muscles against my weakest. Coach has also encouraged women and teens to feel comfortable rolling with me and he’s said things like - he is the nicest, big and scary man I’ve met, he’s not going to hurt you if you roll with him. I do try my best to match the other person’s effort, but at some point if their skill is higher than mine, I do use my strength and weight. Especially If someone is coming in hard. If they want to win at all costs and I can stop them, my instinct is that I should. But sometimes I will let the person win out of fear that they won’t want k roll with me if they can’t tap me. A guy did get really frustrated that he wasn’t able to tap me in the 5 minutes we rolled. I’ve been going regularly enough that it seems every small guy with a higher belt wants to roll with me lately. Which is cool. They haven’t tried to kill me. But I can tell they want to win. Should I be letting them tap me?

Great tips! My gym spends two weeks on the same moves and it’s the first time I’ve felt like this is something I enjoy and could learn. The idea of trying different moves each class sounds terrible to me. I’ve tried BJJ a few times in the past and that’s how those other schools were organized. I always ended up dropping out.

One year white belt- I will learn a technique and hit it amazingly that first week, then for some reason boom not again for months and I’m trying the whole time lol. The weird thing is bolos, let me say i, before learning or really knowing what a bolo was had been hitting it in a couple cases naturally when apparently (in retrospect now) was at the right spot at the right time. However since learning it a month ago (from various locations) I’m spamming it every session and I am successful 50% of the time consistently, I’m getting to the back 80% of the time. So I’m successfully doing the bolo but not fully taking the back part (known problem I’m working) I do think my body was made for bolos the rolls the hip mobility for that move. I enjoy it a lot. Now time to work on back control more.

Clothing doesn't show your rank in BJJ... Unless you're a purple belt, then you need purple rashguard, purple tape, purple earmuffs - otherwise the world won't know that youy're a purple belt.

It is such a valuable topic❤

So if someone has toe nail issues or athletes feet they have to wear socks ????

Hey just started Jiu Jitsu. Is it normal to be thrown in a class with blue and purple belts and learning advance move when I don’t even know the basics? Thanks

Please, less use of the word “like”, and whistling nose-breathing into the mic. Great info and pointers, just found the above distracting at times.

My kryponite is my cardio. I know it gets better with time but damn it sucks trying to defend with no oxygen left lol

Is it ok to wear spats with mma shorts on top and a rash guard

needed to hear this as im an ignorant white belt that needs to stop bresk the “ speed limit” an flow better

I went way too hard as a white belt. I became more defensive as a Blue Belt focusing on escapes and not being tapped . 😅

half of my body is covered in tattoos. I wait 5-7 days and have had 0 issues. If I am on the mats and my tattoo becomes sore, I just leave early.

The doctors dont do shit. Im dealing with one right now just rehabbing on my own. Body scissor and a spazzy blue belt got me

Its funny since Belt Stripes havent been a thing from white to brown when BJJ was "new".... Only Black belt had stripes.... Stripes were invented because usually it took 2,5 years from white to blue and another 4-5 years from blue to purple.... So some people had trained for 5-6 years and had only got 1 belt promotion which made some people sad. Stripes dont mean anything ! Its a new invention to give "fake" Promotions to people who need constant confirmation of Progress... not giving a f ... about stripes is not watering down BJJ... BJJ had no stripes before it was waterd down ;) Giving stripes on attendence is pefectly legit since it has no real meaning besides making some people happy ;) I got my 3rd Stripe today because i did well vs Blue Belts and submitted several of them... i earned them within 11 weeks but i was an MMA fighter many many years back. In our School stripes can be given for doing good but will also automatically come for attendence . So you could earn 3 Stripes on White for attending class regularly for 1 year or like me just do well and get them within a little less than 3 months. Doesnt matter ;)... Also another active semi-pro MMA fighter came to our gym and got 3 Stripes after the first rolling session since he could hang with some purple belts.

Chunkmaster flex on left making fun of people going in bjj without knowing anything….. Then talking about humility.

I’m a white belt and I only wear ranked rash guards I have some solid black stuff but when I train no gi I wear ranked

We have a guy whose a white belt but tries to act like he is a brown belt and wears all ranked brown belt stuff and is very stubborn about learning anythign he thinks he knows everything

If ur gonna force me to wear a sweat suit no way am I wearing a shirt underneath

Thank you!

No gi jiu jitsu is just submission wrestling with different rules

That Chase guy seems like a pretty cool dude I'd train with him

I commented about 7 months ago when I first started doing jujitsu under a Gracie University certified training center.. After about a year of doing the combatatives. Which include 36 different techniques and drills. I just got promoted. And moved on to the most advanced class the master cycle class. Which has your full-on sparring. After seeing a lot of comments from people who just started jujitsu.white belts Starting out and having to go to schools. That start sparring right from the first class. I realized the advantage that I had going into sparring for my first time after having gone through the first gracie university classes and learning the 36 techniques. I was well more aware, even though I had never sparred. I had an understanding of positions. Certain things for like an elevator sweep or elbow escape from mount. Or understanding side control and half guard and things like that. I was a lot more comfortable than it seems like a lot of other white Belts when they first started full sparring. Considering im in my 40s its been such a great experience

Thanks guys! Great insight!

Podcast would be good if it wasn't a 1:1 ratio of Podcast to advertisments

I'm a fresh blue belt, like 2 months and I'm at that point where I just stop everybody and rarely submit people. I sweep and control but I have trouble submitting people and I think I still go too soft regardless of how hard my training partner goes. It's a little annoying.

Thanks guys, great topic

Well this sucks lol I know about the healing process but I’m trying to get my suit done and I wouldn’t want to roll with a fresh big tattoo

Exactly what I need! My defense and cardio is so much better, but my memory sucks! I still freeze up, and forget all the awesome moves I've learned.

32 year old white belt. I have a bit of wrestling experience so going slow is something I’m learning. It’s hard for me (in the moment) to not use speed and strength to move into or out of positions. I’m working on it though. Also I must say I have so much respect for my fellow white belts who started with no grappling experience. It was crazy enough for me with grappling experience I couldn’t imagine being completely green.

What mouthguards do you recommend for jiu jitsu? Ive read lots of people recommending the Sisu Max. What are your thoughts on it?

I go into class excited about hopefully getting better and being awesome and I always leave feeling violated and defeated but uplifted by classmates and encouraged and the other day I got attacked on my job because I work in a psych hospital. I realized real quick that had actually been learning quite a lot and had the old lady subdued pretty quickly lol kidding it was a 6’3 man.

I’m a 2 stripe white belt been training consistently for a year today it hit me while I was rolling that I was doin some movements without having to think about then it was a cool moment for me cuz usually I jjst feel lost or have to really think about stuff

I think it's pretty normal in the first stage to use strength and go all out when you don't know any techniques. It's all you have to rely on. My only problem is those that are spazzy.

Thanks Buddy!

First month into Jits at 47 years old and have been looking for a podcast like this since I started....it is so difficult to find expert yet calm and humble advice online...without all the bs. As a white belt, my main aim at the moment has been to stay relaxed and be a good rolling partner, someone that people want to roll with...I see growth for me personally, more from doing rather than watching. You guys are great and have just subscribed, looking forward to checking out your other content 👍👍

My school; At least for the first stripe on our white belts is based on coming to class consistently. After that I think it's both based on attendance and progression.

Nah mother's milk way more effective in a t shirt.

Great job gents 54 yo white belt here Your channel is Extremely motivating and educational Keep it up

Wish you lads uploaded more again ;)

It’s a humbling experience but enjoyable.

There’s exceptions to the rule but in my experience guys that come in with that “1st stage” mentality don’t keep training for a long time.
