Im 230 lbs and there aren’t alot of big guys like me in my gym so I focus purely on technique and not using my strength or my size as an advantage. This gets me plenty of reps with smaller guys/gals in higher belts. I’ve been getting tapped alot but Im still learning.
This is the way. You will get more reps in so you'll build more cardio and get more and better feedback. Your taps/mistakes will be ingrained in your mind so you will make less of them. You'll think more clearly because you're not gassed out from using your strength.
Im 6”3’ 216 lbs. Second day of BJJ, big fat 260 lbs purple belt told me “fight like a small guy. Don’t rely on your size. Small guys whoop ass.” He was right!
Idk how I stumbled onto your gold mine of a channel but here I am. Keep it up, you roll like you have the experience of a very high level blue belt or even a purple belt.
Shout out to 'Big Josh'.... really nice roll from both players and I feel though he could have, he didn't use his size/strengh advantage (and was also clearly playing with a stomach injury). Enjoying the content from you 'Little Josh' ;). Keep it up.
I would like more fights with commentary and your genuine opinions as well as your sense humor. Essentially what you are doing rn with your videos. It’s great.
You have an awesome foundation. I am a newly promoted blue belt, but can tell I have long way to go to get to your blue belt level. I am a Marcelo Garcia, Neil Melanson, Silver Fox and Andrew Wilste fan, so I use a lot of their techniques in escapes. I do have to get better at unerstanding leg locks and knee line. I am cognizant of them and haven't yet got caught in one, but I always respect when my partner goes after some sort of 50/50 or foot hold. Great content. I noticed a technique used by Karel Pravec (Silver Fox) that you can get quite a bit and it is the shotgun arm bar. You had it several times when you get side control as their arm is trapped between their head and your near side leg.
Thanks man I appreciate the kind words. I actually do go for the shotgun armbar sometimes and you’re right it was definitely open a few times during the roll
@@JoshRichBJJ with leg locks do you try to control at least one leg? And, with the knee line do you try to get your knee passed their hips or better yet their butt?
@@guam58 There are different leg lock positions that require different defenses, when I'm escaping ashi (single leg x) or double outside ashi I try controlling at least one leg to break their control and to stop them from re attacking. But I don't do that for honey hole( inside senkaku) for example. With the knee line I just try to get it so that my knee isn't between their legs, so basically passed their hips. Hope that makes sense
@@JoshRichBJJ yes definitely our gym is known for leglocks, but have been concentrating in my defense, sweeps and pinning control. I have a very good straight ankle lock, but am slowly getting around to heel hooks. I am just learning about the defense of leg locks, so like to get different persepctives.
Man, you have a great game.. you don't seem a normal blue, you're a beast. I like that transition you hit from the arm bar setup to reverse triangle. 👌
When you train at 10th planet your just taught by the best i wish i had the opportunity to train there i train but not at 10th planet i wanna move somewhere where i can be close to a great gym
What you initially had was a yoko sankaku/side triangle at 1:50. When he bridges up to defend, I think you're supposed to switch to gyaku sankaku/inverted triangle.
i just watched again, even if u say ur safe, i think he hurt u on his first leg attack, even if he didnt get the knee line im pretty sure u felt it the next day, that's what it felt watching it altough i think u have a brown belt level at least i loved ur north south escape, and the armbar defense of ur oponent was stuning
I'd like to see some specific skills to use against larger opponents. I'm around your weight and shorter. And the big guys get tired and lay on me hahahaha
Hello Josh from Spain am 46 years old 73 kilos who just started nogi if you can what is your best advice for a white belt and the best defense? Thank you... Oh see you in the near future in Europe championship 🥋
Question. I been tryna get into bjj. I’ve done some classes but I still don’t know too much. Should I watch matches online even though I don’t know what’s going on sometimes? Would I benefit?
are you stil technically a white belt? thats crazy man I was a green belt 4 years ago and Ive come back after finding a good work/life balance and im starting back as a white belt i feel liek maybe Im cheating a little lol but anyways I love your jiujitsu bro keep making the good vids !
I do, specially when they use their weight to purposely injure you. I remember this lady that because she couldn’t pass my guard, she literally put all her weight on my neck. 😩 I told her “ you need to be mindful, we don’t want to injure our training partners”. I roll with bigger guys and they never do that.
I rolled with a 5'5 120 lb woman last night. I'm a 6 ft 255 lb man. I basically let her practice all of her passes on me while applying half strength on her.
I believe that the talent/intelligence aspect of Bjj is vastly overlooked. Some people just have a natural grappling intuition that some people will never posses no matter how long they train. Combat sports are part of a selection of a few sports where you can have beginners excel to world class level in a very limited time. Not sure why this is the case but I do know for sure, some people just have IT
You look a bit better in this video than you did in that Naga video. But, you still don't look high level at all, not you or the guy you're rolling with actually. And tbh the tips you're giving are not really good at all. Keep training you have lots of room for improvement. Godspeed
Why aren't the tips good? What needs improvement? Are you just trying to seem knowledgeable? This isn't constructive and a simple glance at the neighboring comments from much better people than yourself are proof. Keep deluding yourself that you're an athlete, bud.
I can tell by how you roll that early on (like when you were a new white belt) that you focused more on learning "fancy high level stuff" as opposed to focusing on learning basic fundamentals(like you should have been). Your game is very lacking. The people gassing you up in your comments are either people who don't train at all, new white belts, or YT warriors who don't actually know what they're talking about. You shouldn't be giving anyone tips of any kind. It's cool to post stuff about you grappling, learning and improving in your bjj journey. But, you're definitely not good enough to be trying to give other people tips and advice about bjj. The best you can do for other people right now is get better and work on yourself.
Damn why are you hating? Just let him roll and describe what’s going on. What are you some community hero that saves people from bad advice? Mind ya business and move on.
@@alecskinner1910 Bad coaching and bad technique gets people hurt. I didn't tell him to stop rolling or even to stop making content. I'm basically just telling him to focus on getting better instead of trying to teach people on UA-cam. He's average at best for a blue belt, he doesn't really have anything to teach anyone at his current skill level. Like, I said before the best thing he could for anyone right now is keep training and get better.
He basically just dominated a much larger purple belt. Where do you see his game lacking, specifically? Im currently a 42yo brown belt and Im not seeing this lack of fundamentals at all. In fact, quite the opposite.
@@greasebob You're full of shit! No legit Brown belt would watch this and think "wow, that kid just dominated that guy". Stop lying to people on YT man. I bet you don't even do Jiu jistu bro. He seems like a good kid, all I'm saying is that he's got a lot to learn. You jackasses are getting more butt hurt over it than he is. Why don't you actually go learn some jiu jitsu and do something with your life.
Lmao I'm pretty sure most people in this comment section train, otherwise why would they watch a narrated bjj roll? Plus I'm also sure a good amount of us are at least blue belts as well :/. You just sound mad and jealous for no reason.
I'm just checking in before you become a world champ.
Me too. This young man looks like a prodigy.
Maybe B.J. Penn the second.
this guy is brazy wit it
Yup he’s pretty good. Hide your girlfriend
"my bad. flips away." lol
I've tapped because my "Stomach Hurt" it's usually when I'm exhausted hahaha

I am 230 too. I realise i coudnt sparr with any of my friends. So i took 3 months to loose those 30 pounds. I recomend it.
Dude, I love the editing and the commentary here! This is awesome, thank you MegaJosh
Idk how I stumbled onto your gold mine of a channel but here I am. Keep it up, you roll like you have the experience of a very high level blue belt or even a purple belt.

When rolling with the big fish knees and legs are your friends
I feel you being the only guy in the gym at 150
Fun challenge to be honest
Word rolling with bigger people really can be a fun challenge
I love your videos Bro. You explain well, and keep things interesting. I'll continue to watch and learn. Thanks again!
I would like more fights with commentary and your genuine opinions as well as your sense humor. Essentially what you are doing rn with your videos. It’s great.
i came across your video when i was watching mma , very good tutorials on grappling . became a fan of your channel, good stuff god bless ..
Amazing content as always 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾please keep loading more awesome content with great commentary💯💯💯
I am my self a judo guy but i really like to watch your videos. There is a lot to be learned here even for judo.
Dude! Great! Your thought process is amazing
Your videos are funny! You’ve got a great sense of humor, brother!

Don't worry dude, he has a purple+ level, i don't know why he s still blue, that kid is a monster ! :D
Literally last night, I (145) tried a triangle on a dude (200) and he pressured me so hard it forced my knee into my own head lol
Wow I'm a blue belt too but I nothing compared to you on understanding of transitions like you do. Amazing
The commentary on rolls is great! Thank you. Please keep them coming
Man, you have a great game.. you don't seem a normal blue, you're a beast. I like that transition you hit from the arm bar setup to reverse triangle. 👌
The upper right dude at 4:58 is vibes, me just contemplating why I even roll after getting smashed for 9 rounds
😂😂
Great stuff ! Worried about your knee for couple of times lol
Well done, loved it.
I’d love to hear other josh’s commentaries
Buddy, Im a blue belt and no where near how good you are. This is nuts
All about hard work man
Josh’s Jiu Jitsu is amazing.
I can tell you watch a lot of Gordon’s instructionals. Dope
Haha I do, they’re a goldmine
this was amazing, thanks!
U going up Fr fr
Good transitions!
💯 thanks
Escapes & kills
Breathing techniques
You mentioned you’re blue belt? Awesome awareness and technique, very impressive 💪
you had me subbed at 'paused for dramatic effect'
Didn’t know you rolled there. Subbing for my 10th planet brother!
I appreciate the commentary. Great to listen too as a new white belt.
I needed this! Lol
the wholesome ending with the belly ache lol
Bro love the video can you make more videos about bigger and stronger people we have to go against
Thanks! I will soon for my fellow smaller guys
how to do a rear naked choke@@JoshRichBJJ ?
I also am a Josh. Best bjj practitioners are names Josh of course.
Yeah it’s a known fact
Agree, lol.
When you train at 10th planet your just taught by the best i wish i had the opportunity to train there i train but not at 10th planet i wanna move somewhere where i can be close to a great gym
Great roll
back flips away lmao XD

That blue belts just holds your gi, your skills speak otherwise 🙏🏻
Josh fight! 🍿
You remind me of myself a year or two ago. I would add bolos and crab rides to defend these heel hooks that's where the sport is going.
You know us big guys and our tummy-wummels.
Awesome
Great match bro!! How you get so good as a blue belt?
Hey, sweet vid. Are you guys going full on or holding back a bit?
Very cool🤙
Bro you're sick, especially at blue belt.
Grew videos mate,how many days a week do you train?
Literal Goat
No u
i just watched again, even if u say ur safe, i think he hurt u on his first leg attack, even if he didnt get the knee line im pretty sure u felt it the next day, that's what it felt watching it
altough i think u have a brown belt level at least
i loved ur north south escape, and the armbar defense of ur oponent was stuning
Time stamp?
I think of it this way..roll with anyone because smaller,equal or bigger size each one has something to teach you about your game
Squash in the city
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww hope his poor lil tum tum feels better. Poor lil joshy josh!!!
Who shit in your cheerios?
@@nitro2914 obviously Josh did
wow great job. im like a buck twenty, went up against a 200lber, it was terrible
love it
Man, do I hate...um, I mean, respect, smaller, faster and strong people on the mat. 😊
I wanna see you fix your glasses🙂. Great roll.
I want to be in one of your videos 😂😂😂 whenever u trying to show off let me know lol
Will do haha
Let’s go, lads!
Dude How long have you been training JiuJitsu and How many days a week do you train?
1:59
Finna catch me lacking
where there is a big white belt there is always a small mat enforcer ready to smessh
I'd like to see some specific skills to use against larger opponents. I'm around your weight and shorter.
And the big guys get tired and lay on me hahahaha
is this judo or jui jitsu i have no idea but looks fun
3:25 is hilarious lol
i think if he had bend ur knee the two times he tried k guard entries at the end he would have leg locked u
um your jiu jitsu is beautiful
Lol thank you my dude!
@@JoshRichBJJ no doubt fam. your vids are just as creative. you got a bright future and i hope it includes not working for anyone but yourself
Dude, round 1 what did you finish with
Thanks bro
Hello Josh from Spain am 46 years old 73 kilos who just started nogi if you can what is your best advice for a white belt and the best defense? Thank you... Oh see you in the near future in Europe championship 🥋
I wanna get the taste of it.
1:54 😦
Out of curiosity, how tall are you ?
Btw Your content is solid. Learning a lot as I watch. You got a new subscriber in me.
Great video my man
I forgot to ask, also about how tall is the guy your rolling with ?
I’m 5’8 and he’s about 6ft
Good roles! What belt are you?
Thanks! I’m a blue belt
Im 6'-4" at 175 and get smashed by the bigger guys at my gym. Love it and hate it :) Love these kinds of vids. Cheers.
How is this even possible ? I'm 5.8 at 185 and im not even big :O
Lol homies a blue belt in this video but one of his more recent videos he is a white belt
Yes. People can get promoted
@@erickrodriguez2813 lol people don’t get demoted is what he’s saying lol
I can see you've been studying the danaher system
Question. I been tryna get into bjj. I’ve done some classes but I still don’t know too much. Should I watch matches online even though I don’t know what’s going on sometimes? Would I benefit?
Yeah I think you should, I would as a white belt and I definitely did learn some things even if it was just subconsciously
@@JoshRichBJJ thanks man. advice will be taken and was greatly appreciated

why didn't you switch triangle sides to get him in a reverse triangle you had him. 1:57:) Awesome stuff
josh are you in California?
Have u ever done an absolute division?
I haven’t but I want to soon
@JoshRichBJJ big inspiration bro, I'm only a white belt and afraid to do my first absolute division haha, I can't even imagine at blue belt level
I rolled with a 5'5 120 lb woman last night. I'm a 6 ft 255 lb man. I basically let her practice all of her passes on me while applying half strength on her.
So it's a 10th planet gym? But no one's doing rubber guard?
I'm the big guy
why heelhook at the blue belt level its not really allowed in competition anyway
Someone explain to me how a white belt/blue belt gets so good in a short amount of time

Does 3:18 happen often? Funny how they both got back into positions after that
that aint no blue belt... either bullshit or sandbag. nice rolling.
You both look almost the same size
Try being 123 pounds hahaha
