    I started training Gracie Jiujitsu because of the street fighting aspect of the art! I grew up in the Eastend of London So I needed something that could deal with all aspects of fighting.. (with no rules) but the thing that has kept me in good stead has been the Head butts & elbows from the clinch.. and situational awareness! I’m so grateful for the art whether sport or street! But I’m definitely all For the street Gracie Jiujitsu side of the art!

    I’m a two stripe white belt and I feel like I’ve kinda just stopped progressing completely. There’s not a lot of white belts where I am that train regularly, and I get killed by the colour belts. I don’t care as much for the progression of ranks because I honestly can’t see myself getting further than I am with it. I do enjoy the physical aspects of rolling and learning but being beaten up frequently is starting to take its toll and I don’t know how to approach this.

    • @markcukro4129
      @markcukro4129 13 днів тому

      You can do a few things. One, each time you get submitted, ask the person to break down and teach you what they just did and why it worked. Second, you could ask a higher belt for a coach roll which means every time they see you make a mistake they'll tell you to stop, provide coaching, and then get back to the rolling. You could even tell the person that you're looking for, advice and assistance and how to get better and that you would like their help if they are willing to give it to you. They'll probably change the entire way they roll with you

      When they are physically, mentally and emotionally mature enough, and in my experience, it starts to happen around 13 at the earliest but most commonly 14-15. They will also benefit from training with teens their own size, maturity and skill level. It really does rely on each individual though. Thank you for asking.

    I have been a blue belt for 3 years now and the only thing that keeps me going is what you said in the beginning about feeling I’m not getting any better. Everyone with a black belt says what you said and in my mind I’m conscious about it and just have to get over that mental hurdle. That’s why I keep training. I will never make money from jiu jitsu but I want to keep training until I earn my black belt because it’s a personal achievement.

GJJ people barely train, get ranked on attendance and don't even spar till blue belt. And the sparring is terrible. The strike emulation isn't real either. At most, the bullyproof system is good for kids. Take it from me, I've trained in both.

      They were all Gracie Jiu Jitsu and had family rivalries but would stick up for each other, fight with each other just as so many families do. Now the Gracie name is all from the same original lineage but many of the siblings and children have a dscerning difference in their name Gracie Barrs, Gracie Humaita, Renzo Gracie, Carlos Gracie Jr., Roger etc. Same roots but now different branches and approaches to what they focus on. It is a BIG family.

I'm GJJ all the way because I'm a self defense guy, first. I started as a (sports guy unknowingly) because BJJ is all the same right? I'm about practicality, efficiency and natural body movements. They are creating all this new exotic guards and submissions to win (like a nuclear arms race) because the way we do jiu jitsu now is MISSING something???

      What’s up Mark I tried your wrist lock technique but I would have to be in your class and take your class and figure out how it works because I just can’t put any kind of pain on the wrist. I watched your video so many times but I can’t do it. that would be the best counter to the baseball bat choke, and we have some guy at where I train he has a killer killer baseball choke. So maybe if you can explain it I don’t know why I can’t get the wrist lock.

Internalising this helps kids/athletes their whole life and not just in sports! I once heard a nice idea in this context: Do you want your kid to win in this particular match by any means, or do you want them to increase their chances to succeed in the total set of matches to come and all other challenges in life.

    On the headlock should you replace the hand blocking the hips with your foot before framing to break the headlock? If you don’t, after opening him up, he could curl back up, and your back at step one.
