100% agreed. The fundamentals of BJJ that we learned 20 years ago are not the fundamentals of today. Movements, framing and finding the calmness during the fight should be the fundamentals of BJJ
Very true indeed.
I am all for sports, because that adds the playful element to the game. It gives people drive and motivation.
But in the pursuit of those goals, the safe and healthy way to get their is most often forgotten.
Hears a good one if you are man do not roll with a woman it makes you look stupid.
“Dont focus on techniques” I can totally do that
Great advice. Not enough emphasis is spent on these parts of Ju Jitsu.. especially the breathing aspect! OSS thanks as always
Thank you for the nice comment! Always appreciated 🙏
A new white belt was tapping every 20 seconds because he was gassing himself. He asked "What should I do?" and I said "The first thing you should do is do less."
That is exactly the first conversation I usually have on the first day 😊
Tried Jiu Jitsu for the first time 2 days ago. The feeling of being out of breath and just having another grown adult laying across my abdomen was probably one of the most uncomfortable physical feelings I've ever had. At one point I had to tap just to get a breath while the other guy was a black belt just patiently laying in side control.
I had exactly the same experience! In my first time after 15 years to training, I had to tap just to get a breath when the guy on the 100kg position and I´ve ever had breathe wrong for 4-5min.
Perfect advise, do not focus on techniques, but in breathe and "body notion".
Add to that beginners should learn a basic guard pass, basic escape, and basic submission and focus on doing all three during a roll. While it’s true that techniques take time to develop the best time to hone a black belt level technique is during white belt. I focused solely on armbars and knee cut passes when I was a white belt and those are now my go to moves.
Some simple ideas to focus on are probably a good idea.
I just believe there is nothing basic about any techniques. A focus on the highest precentage options is probably a good idea.
My advice for beginners is usually focus on learning to handfight and when to have an over or an under hook. Also keep your knees close to your elbows and guard that space religiously.
Keeping your knees close to your elbows, do you mean that when they are further apart, your opponent can attack your middle easier? But then you go to guard, right? Or maybe im way off lol
I think it is an important skill. Especially the over- and underhook rules.
I focus more on endgame offense and defense early on with beginners cause I think it makes the game overall safer and it is less complicated for beginners.
Jiu jitsu is all about controlling the space between hip and armpits.
When you keep your knees close to your elbows, you create a diamont which your opponent will have a hard time passing.
@@WimDeputterBJJ ok thanks. I study a form of Shorinkan/ Shorin-ryu, Okinawa, and we do some mixed stuff so we work on some of these basic principles

Thanks for the tips bro I’m a new BJJ white belt and I accidentally go into panic mode when I’m one on one fighting with someone so the breathing thing kinda helped me understand Thanks 👍
Great advice. Breathing amd staying calm is everything.
I am 35 and started BJJ and Muay Thai 7 years ago after meeting my wife and her children. I really wanted to be able to protect her if necessary. (or at least give them time to escape)
That is a good reason. Hopefully, you will never need it and you can just use Jiu Jitsu to enjoy herself 😊
26 started BJJ to protect my future family, should I do Muay thai aswell?
I would say that’s the best advise for all combat sport practitioners beginners or advanced, grappling or striking..
I think it's generally the best advice to any human activity 😊
Thanks man!
Agree. My number focus is to stay relaxed
That is a great and worthy pursuit.
Exactly. Improper execution comes from inflexibility. Breathing is a huge part of flexibility and brain body communication. The diaphragm is one of the most crucial core muscles.
I never know the Jiu Jitsu could be calming 😂
😄😄
It can be very meditative is you focus on control and what happens in the moment..if you focus, you will feel and realise that you need to do way less than you often think.
Breathing and relaxing 💯 too many times I’ve seen people be a danger to others and to themselves.
That is how people get injured.
If you breath wrong, you cannot be mindfull. If you are not mindfull, you are more invested and attached to the outcome than the moment.
Disregarding the reality of the present in pursuit of your goal (eg. doing the sweep you want instead of the sweep that the opponent's posture and weightdistribution tells you to do) is how you get injured and injury people.
@@WimDeputterBJJ
Wow, It is perfect!
"Doing the sweep you want instead of the sweap that the opponect´s posture.. tells you to do"
Great advice 👍
😊🙏
Thank you. It's not like I have just started BJJ, but I'm still only a yellow belt. I will be sure to keep these things in mind during practice.
Keep it up!
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
Brilliant
Thanks 😊
Solid advice
Thanks!

Yeah everything It's right, But people want to win, want to look better to their instructor, want to compare theirselfs against others and think they are better, so when Ego comes in, learning Jiu jitsu goes out..One of principles of Judo It's "Jita kyoei" mutual prosperity, very very important and encouraged all the way by the very beggining, But also lost or not very teached in BJJ
Ego is important. But it needs to be kept in check.
How Can I "relax" without my training buddy wins the position? is it about breathe more than muscle?
So true
Beginner here, what do you mean by good structure?
Posture. The way you organise your skeleton.
Truth.
😊🙏

Breathing calmly is good for all kind of sports. The rest is not understandable for beginners. They to train techniques and sparr before they are able to understand your concepts of structure and muscle engagement.
Spar most definately. Techniques... not so sure.
You should join a training in our gym once. We do it a bit different here.
@@WimDeputterBJJ Beginners are not able to understand concepts unless they have learnt a set of basic techniques. It is like learning a language. You can study grammar endlessly but it is a waste of time if you do not combine it with life practises and real phrases ("techniques").
I remember Björn Friedrich from Frankfurt around 2007/2008. He was very enthusiastic about teaching concepts instead of techniques.
By 2011/2012 he admitted that he went back to teaching techniques to beginners because they would not understand the concepts without solid knowledge of techniques.
Of course that is different once you train purple belts and higher.
You misunderstand.
The language comparison doesn't really make sense if you think about it a bit deeper.
Grammar indeed doesn't really make sense before you learn some words.
Words however don't make sense without a human first having the ability to speak at all.
A language is actually learned, vocabulary and grammar, at the same time through intricate play we call "conversation".
Besides vocabulary and grammar, there are many more "invisible" parts that need to be mastered; intonation, rhytm, timing, loudness and all of these actually come gradually but at the same time, the one feeding of the other. Vocabulary is just the easiest most distinguishable part of language development.
Just like in Jiu Jitsu the technique that actually succeeds is clearly visible.
Let's imagine you teach a beginner a guardpass. First you need to explain the concept of a guard and the concept of a pass.
Without that, there is no sense to teach a guardpass.
Why would you need to pass the legs a beginner will ask?
Showing a basic guardpass, is like showing a particular shade of blue and calling it blue while forgetting the unlimited amount of shades thar exist in the palette.
Let's say you let the beginner start in guard and he has to execute your particular example of a pass you taught him or her that day. The beginner will try and fail or succeed. That process may eventually lead to improvement. But very random and usually slow and a bit risk. Because the beginner lacks control.
The beginner starts in a guard on top where he or she does not know how to behave. You teach him a pass. He or she will try to execute that pass to then arrive in another position where he or she does not know how to behave. And the same can be said of every step between the guard and the actual pass >>> there is no control.
What do you teach first then?
You teach the concept of control.
Control means very simply:
-engage and shape your body in such a way that your opponent has a hard time to move = connection
-stay on top
After those prerequisites are met, you can show a particular example of a pass. Making sure that the student focuses on control every step of the way with the goal of the pass (or sweep) just a general pointer to give the game a sense of direction.
Therefor concepts always over technique.
Play (="Talk" or "fight") and the "techniques" / "vocabulary" and patterns will emerge by themselves through examples and problems the partner (in conversation and fight) will present to you.
You need the prerequisite of control, stability and connection before any technique makes sense. A limp opponent can be pushed over with only a fraction of a technique.
I really invite you to our gym to see how we do things here. For free.
You will be surprised to how our classes our run, universally liked and how quick people improve. I promis 😊
@@WimDeputterBJJ
Thank you for the long response and the invitation. Yet I see a big difference between your theory and practice in real life.
However, I wish you success with your method and if you are right, many gyms will follow you in 20 years.
I swear it works 😊
One important factor that helps, we have quite a lot of advanced guys.
We mix all levels together. This way beginners get good feedback a lot and advanced get easy practice time.
Good advice... Now do you so all that?
I do yes, mostly
Uuuhh that's too philosophical... It's not that complicated. Learn the basics and stick to them for a long time.
What are the basics?
IN through your nose*... because how the nasopharynx lines up with your trachea. It's much easier to breathe in the nose and out of the mouth. You really should change this thought and stop teaching inefficiencies to my fellow humans, please. Arigatou gozaimasu. Obrigado.
Well, you are wrong.
Full breathing cycle, both inhaling and exhaling through the nose, is the more efficiënt way.

Any other Judo fighters laughing at the way they are doing their tachi waza?
Put the average judo player vs the average all round grappler. See what happens 😉
I am the average all-around grappler, and as an average all-around grappler, I have a judo black belt, but United States judo is well below average in judo. on the world stage it is much harder than any other grappling sport.
It is definately hard. But a lot of the hardness comes from the (at this point) ridiculous ruleset where very little is allowed.
It is so limited these days, both in allowed techniques and time allowed to work certaib grips, that more than any other grappling art, it became a game of strenght.
The 66 and 73 kilo division judo matches are epic the rules as a sport make sense if you look at it from the fastest win is the best and you can never just be defensive. you always have to be trying to win. And when you cross trained It was the biggest compliment when a BJJ fighter knew you could throw, so they just sat down to start from guard.
Do judo and karate don’t waste your time on jujitsu. For self defense stay on your feet with judo and Taekwondo, Hapkido,
Cause that works so well in the UFC 😄
This is not the 1800s, my friend. Jiu Jitsu has moved on. You risk having a karate master superior attitude. you are just telling truisms, things that everyone knows. Stop trying so much to be an authority. Relax.
It is just the truth.
You should have a look at our gym and see how fast our beginners improve.
It shouldn't take 10 years to get a blackbelt.
@@WimDeputterBJJ - yes you have to have those 10000 hours in, no matter what the activity is called. Its how the brain works.
Not really.
The 10 000h rule was merely a suggestion by Malcom Gladwell in his book "Outliers".
While the book is very good, the 10 000h rule is not based on actual science or a universal rule.
Furthermore, spent time doesn't equal quality of learning. You can definately spend a lot of time and not improve at all.
Spending a life time doing Krav Maga or any art without actual live rolling, would still make you suck at fighting.
People's brains vary as well.
