DESCRIPTION
I have a lifetime goal of earning a black belt in a martial art and have always been meaning to start something, but my other training (gymnastics strength and weightlifting) always took precedence. Well, I finally made it a priority and it's been a year now since I began Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I've learnt a lot and grown into a more well rounded athlete but what was the schedule like? Were there any injuries? And how did it fit in with your other training? WATCH THE VID :)

BRIEF BIO:
Height: 178cm / 5ft 10in
Weight: 80kg / 176lbs
I'm Tyson, I live in Australia and make functional training videos with my sense of humour violently shoved in.
My background is in Olympic weightlifting (2014 State Champion 85kg division) and Gymnastics Strength Training (Guinness World Record for Highest Standing Backflip and Accredited Gymnastics Coach).
The overriding value across my content is to place a high value on our bodies and their development by enjoying the process of learning new skills that increase its worth and enhance your experiences. I also guarantee you will say WTF (out loud) to at least ten videos on my channel. - Спорт
I went from going aggressive attack mode to thinking in a mind set that I am a slow moving Boa constrictor I feel its a far better approach and then exploding or striking only when you need too which gets better with experience.
I got in an ankle lock a few weeks ago and I swear I thought I was going to be handicapped. I can’t lie, it really shook my confidence. But you’re right , I’m a beginner and I have to get through this.
They never should have done an ankle lock on a beginner. Ask if that is an aggressive training partner or an irresponsible gym, and go elsewhere if needed.
This video just stopped me giving up bjj! 46 year old white belt! Callisthenics enthusiast. 👍👍
are you still going strong?
@@rogue7826 in and out 👍
Good video bro thank you for information.
Awesome video man! I also recently started BJJ and absolutely love it!
Very timely video as I want to build bjj into my weekly workout and physical practice
Thank you, I've enjoyed listening to this! I've been in the martial arts for a very long time. Along the way, I've had some conflicts. The worst injuries I've had were from training. I like to say, I'm either injured or ready for further punishment. Today, I'm ready. :-)
0:33 I think I broke my hip watching this. LOL

as someone that's been thinking of bjj this video was helpful, thanks for sharing mate ~
🙏 awesome!
I would highly recommend it. So much fun. But it’s real tough starting out so prepare for that
Nice. I am also a one-year white belt & has been enjoying it a lot.
haha fk, north south choke. knew you were on to something during today's roll!
loved it
This was an awesome video, I'm a Brazilian jiu jitsu blue belt and I do a fair bit of weight training and minimal calisthenics. Could you make a video on exercises that can improve your jiu jitsu?
Hmm maybe. Weightlifting and calisthenics definitely helps jiu jitsu but I more meant in general, hadn't thought of specific exercises that translate to improving BJJ apart from bench press (but that was just a theory of mine). I'll think about it.
Aside from your take on the Gi we're in complete agreement. I've only been back in for about a month (twice a week BJJ/light sparring, lifting 4 days a week) and this past week my shoulders felt like packing peanuts. Learning that trying to pitbull my way through everything isn't ideal. Being strong and athletic is the ace up your sleeve, but shouldn't be your go to.
Yeeeeeaaaah Bro that's the way. 4 days gym + 2 days bjj or any martial art. Then Gaming and studying💯
In BJJ, you can quickly learn how to avoid injuries by tapping early, letting go of your ego, and ensuring that you choose your rolling partners wisely.
Also, as I'm sure you now know, never put your thumb inside the sleeve when gripping the gi.
Good job
Would love to see more jiujitsu videos. Do you intend to compete at all?
Possibly in July!
2 years of bjj update? Btw love the vid :)
Thanks! The next video was suppose to be about my first BJJ competition but I've not competed yet due to the whole COVID-19 situation.
i had to miss class on wednesday and friday because of getting my terrible grips broken on monday... i wish i was told day one about grip technique, my fingers are swollen lol
Tyson, I really enjoyed this vid. I’ve been thinking about starting Jiu Jitsu, I’m in decent shape for a man who’s 64 years old. I’ve heard a lot of no’s from friends and family saying I’m too old, I’ll just end up getting hurt, but it’s something I just really want to experience. What are your thoughts?
Use as many trial classes as you need to to find the right gym with the right type of people to train with. You will know when you find the gym you want to be at.
Any updates?
@@bw-rx1qd no Tyson I never started
at 5:42 you could do the 'von flue choke' (guillotine counter)... it was there but you probably didnt know so you just missed the oportunity; be aware next time! Oss
nice vid
Thanks! Keen to get back at it.
will you be doing dedicated striking next? boxing? thai boxing?
I'm doing MMA at that same gym so striking is coming along, just slower, so no plans yet for dedicated striking.
Protect your head brain trauma is very serious 🙏 look up CTE and Dr Bennet Omalu
What kind of bodyweight training did you do before stronger bws 1??
Same just not as advanced.
Rendered me useless lol 😂Tyson bruh love u man , no homo 😂
People who are super into "functional" fitness who don't do martial arts confuse tf outta me. Like what are you being functional for?
What would be 1 single gym exercise that benefited your BJJ?
Hmm, I'm not sure man, it's hard to think of one because that isn't a question based on my reality. Maybe you could elaborate so I understand the question a bit better? If you're talking about one weight lifting exercise to do in a commercial gym I would say the back squat because it increases overall strength, power and mobility. Saying that though, I did specifically focus on bench press for a while thinking the strength gains will translate over to my ability to frame when rolling. I think that helped to a degree but jiu jitsu isn't necessarily about strength, it's about technique.
Hi Tyson,
thanks for your replay.
What I was after is a simple complementary set of weight exercises that directly benefit practising BJJ. Of course, BJJ is all about technique however as we all know being strong always helps to compensate lack of experience.
So far I got: kettlebell swing, pull-ups and back squat. Would you add anything more?
Are you worried about coliflower ears ? Thats the only thing stopping me from starting bjj
Hey man, I’m not overly concerned. But if you are you can buy ear guards. I haven’t had issue with my ears in bjj. It was when i did wrestling (freestyle) it was more of an issue, again, i could buy ear guards and it would protect me.
Hope to see you come back and comment that you went to your first class!
Beginners are supposed to go to a Gracie academy to learn the basics first
😂😂😂
lol get that online blue belt
Got my purple belt after watching 2 45 minute videos. This sports too easy.
Thumb injuries take a long time to fully heal. Coronavirus has a lot of Jitsu people healing minor tweaks against their will
Silver lining aye
If Your BJJ gym let you roll as soon as you started then its not a good gym.... you should roll at least 6 months after you started training ...
do you have a blue belt yet?
Nah, I haven’t trained BJJ since covid hit last year. My BJJ goal for 2020 was to compete as white belt and get my blue belt. Sucks but I’m in no rush.
Wrestling or BJJ ?
They're both different enough to warrant learning both and overlap them in a practical setting.
except we live in Australia where guys where skinny jeans you cant grab and it's to hot for jackets.
Hence no gi ;)
hahaha😂😂😂
First! Haha
What is a boxer doing watching Jiu Jitsu?! :O
@@TysonE I love martial arts in general but can't afford to train in a gym so I'm learning only by myself. Haha
Have you stuck with jiu-jitsu?
No, sprinting and planche. bjj this year again I think, no rush.
Do you still train bjj?
Not since 2020 :(
Why
Injuries I heard was unlikely
Depends how you look at it. I’d say if you’re consistent with jiu jitsu, injury is likely. It’s a contact sport where the result is unknown (when you roll or compete).
Is it possible to be black belt in 1 year?
Nope.
@@TysonE well Travis steven got his in 1 year and a half
@@TysonEand what If i train every day non stop for year you think its possible?
Think of his training background tho man, it wasn’t 18 months from 0 exp to black belt, he been a judo practitioner for basically his whole life and there’d be huge crossover between the disciplines to accelerate his progress.
A belt is superficial. Knowledge/experience counts. Put in the work, enjoy the journey. takes longer than a year to be great at anything worth being great in.
@@TysonE thanks for the encouragement Tyson 💪🏾
It’s your professor to consider you going up to blue belt not you lol
Really? I thought I could just upgrade whenever I wanted XD I might grab a brown one tomorrow.
Obviously what I meant was that I didn't care to be any colour belt. But, there will come a time where it matters to me that I be recognised as a blue belt over a white belt and when that time comes I will be training harder and learning what is required of grading for blue so that I am ready.
My professor already asked that I grade for blue and I said I wanted to compete as a white belt first and did not have enough time to dedicate to grading for blue. It isn't entirely up to the professor in my experience.
You should open up your own school.
😂 what??
Tyson Edwards you sound like you are pretty smart, giving advice as a white-belt with your one year of experience. Open a school, maybe that works out for you.
Daym, you’re salty.
It's crazy how much you learn in one year of bjj but while he has some knowledge it is almost nothing in comparison to a black belt. Submission Grappling is a game with an endless amount of techniques, systems, and strategies.
If Tyson keeps at this for another 5 years he'll probably have the knowledge base to then start effectively teaching other people.
Tyler Goodrich you cant effectively teach until at least purple
