I always appreciate it when someone who can easily dominate chooses to teach me something instead of working me over even when they are completely capable of doing so. Well done Rob! Keep going Rich, it gets better!
Same! My first ever roll was with a brown belt who let me get him in closed guard and work a bit before the eventual choke. He gave me fundamental tips afterward too. 👊 thanks bro
When I was new I really appreciated it when a colored belt taught instead of smashing me when he could at any time. Now a blue belt, I recently rolled with a white belt on his first day. He was trembling! I told him to relax and that I'm just going to teach him a sweep. When I gently did it to him and talked him through sweeping me, his eyes got wide with a big smile and said, "Whoa!" We are taught you have an opportunity to win, learn or coach every time you roll. I sure do alot of learning!
I usually try and go about 40% intensity on new white belts and try to be as technical as possible. Its also a great time to work on new techniques or escapes.
Love the video. With. Ew white belts some people just destroy them. Then the new white belt will not come back and that hurts the owners of the gym and the growth. We all want to have fun 👍 😁 . Again great roll
Yeah I agree! We all get after it pretty hard here but I feel like its a no brainer to read the situation and not torture a new teammate haha Thanks! 🤜🤛
Not quite a shaolin, grips are the same but seem like you were trying to sweep him to your right rather than your left. Not sure if the name of it, I’ve heard that sweep being called a dummy before, but obviously that’s way more often used to describe when they stand from closed guard
Love these live rolls Rob! Quick question, do you have your phone or camera on a tripod just sitting in the corner recording? Keep up this style of video, very educational and helpful. 👍🏼
Cool vid and great attitude rolling with a new white belt. Curious....is this an open mat? Whats with the people just chilling on the wall having a chat like they are having morning coffee?
Yo thanks! So this was a Wednesday we do technique 10:15-11. Then 11-12 rolling so ya basically open mat! I feel like this morning crew knows each other very well so a lot of hanging out after 3-4 rolls haha
Ahhh thanks. At our gym, we line up and high rank picks first and down the line we go. Nobody gets to sit out unless there is an odd number. We do this for 8-9 rounds straight. Isn’t sitting out unfair for others rolling straight? Basically sit out 2-3 rounds then go with someone who’s been rolling 😂😂😂
@@donblackie ahhh yeah we have some days like that, more competitive classes where we go really hard 1 guy stays in against fresh guys every 2 min and things like that. Technique days in the morning are usually super chill though.

@@joncooke9515 love it! Same here always trying to learn something every training sesh!
Not sure why this got put on my algorithm, but brown gi in the background is absolutely killing it!
😂 I was waitin for that!
Saw them but thought poor etiquette to pass whilst slap bumping. Blue belt was definitely going super light
Brown Gi
Green Gi
I think those guys don't belong to the same gym

that guy in the brown gi. get him on show.
I should! Ive seen him a handful of times and heard he has autism. But he comes in and loves it, guys let him work those arm bars haha!
Heard he has autism 🤣. It's a massive spectrum, he's probably just a normal guy. Maybe he fuckin' loves trains.@@robrolls
amazing dojo name ''cobra kai'' 😁😁🐍☯🥋👊
People forget that being a good training partner is important.
Yes sir 👊
I go 50% all the time with everybody.
Probably best way to avoid injury. Since my knee popped last week i been goin lighter and rolls have still been real good
why are there so many people sitting around watching?
I think there was only 10-15 min left of class. Social time haha
please teach him how to tie his belt
Haha mine looks similar might need to relearn too lol
@@robrolls I’ve been watching your videos since I made that comment and I love your ability to recall each roll. Very self aware!
@@nathanielbalangitao1367 thanks man! Def helps me to watch and talk about it!
