BJJ White Belt Accused of Being a Mat Bully

- When are you just training hard and when do you cross the line into the realm of a mat bully?
This is a question that came from our friend Tim who was recently accused of being a bully in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym.
He also makes a reference to mat bullys in a recent video I did.
The video our friend Tim was asking about was here: • BJJ Brown Belt Demolis...
In this video I look at the situation where Tim who is a White Belt in BJJ was applying pressure to another White Belt. The aim was to get a response and open up a armbar submission.
The big idea I try to zero in on is that it's not always what you do, but where does it come from.
Meaning are your actions on the mat coming from a place of desire and passion for Brazilian Jiujitsu, or are you actions fueled by neediness to win and insecurity.
I've personally been on both sides of the fence in relationship to this issue. I've been the needy guy who was overly aggressive and only cared about winning.
Now I train hard, but always with a focus of excitement for training and an attempt to better myself and my training partners.
If this is a situation you've found yourself in, I hope this video is helpful for you and your BJJ training.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
I’m a smaller guy so when I roll with bigger guys they always use their weight as an advantage and in no way am I ever thinking they are being mat bullies
Anyone in even the friendliest gyms would agree that creating discomfort to pull reaction is a legitimate part of jiu jitsu. Its important in competition, casual, and hobby. My opinion is it'd be kinda wack to disrespect the original intentions of the art
Holly crap, a shoulder pressure is considered bullying? Those other white belts are way too soft.
“Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.” Yoda
My coach literally said "Im not trying to be mean I just want you to feel the kind of pressure so you know" then proceeded to drive his shoulder into my face
It's frustrating but some people are just whiny. As soon as someone starts whining I just avoid sparring with them. If I absolutely have to roll with someone whiny I'll just go super easy on them and let them win, because that's obviously what they want.
Don't be a whimp, Jiujitsu is tough, strenght and WEIGHT PLAY A ROLL!!!
I would say as an extra point: you have to be aware and play accordingly your weight differences. You don't wanna go full weight-pressure on a smaller opponent, unless you know he is a competitive partner and he is in to play like that
A buck 50? Mat bully? Huh? Whuh? What?
At some point, ppl gotta remember this is a fighting art
Shoulder on face pressure = perfectly fine and good move, can't believe anyone says this is bullying.
150 pound white belt accused of being a mat bully 🤣🤣🤣. Wait until that guy comes across a real mat bully.
Not a mat bully. Shoulder pressure is not just legitimate but necessary to progressing in passes or submissions.
Tapping during training isn't losing it's Learning.
One of the black belts at the gym talked to me about how I needed to start being more aggressive and cause people more discomfort, because everyone is here to train for a contact sport.
No growth in the comfort zone. Great vid, Chew. GET AFTER IT!
I was rolling with a way more experienced guy than me last weekend, and in the middle of the roll, my leg slipped up and kicked him in the face. There was a split second pause and I let out a quick " sorry, you good?" And he's a beast and tapped my leg and said "good dude" and went right back in it full force. Since the Jiujitsu school closed down a few years back in my town, I have been training with a purple belt weekly, but there's a line of roughness we don't cross. At the end of the day, we still want to have a training partner and being frustrated is fine, but being frustrated because of the attitude of the other person you're rolling with isn't. Slip ups happen, but also, pressuring to create an opening is part of Jiujitsu. It's a full understanding of what you're getting into on the matt and what you will walk away from afterwards. If it's uncomfortable, don't get in that position or learn how to get out.
I would advise against going 100% as a white belt... Can only get you in trouble.
I watch every day one of your vids. All are very helpful, doesnt matter what question Ben is asking;). Thx Profesore.
