I really like these longer slower paced videos. I can really watch your movements as you transition between different techniques. I am working on my open guard technique lately and seeing how you move really helps me think about my practice.
He's in wise and safe (yet deadly) hands. It's always interesting having a window right back to the start. Sometimes we don't realise how far we've already come until faced with fresh eyes. Looking forward to seeing him bloom over time if he enjoys it / chooses to commit to the process long term.
Loved this one. As a white belt with about 12months behind me, this was great to show just how far I've come. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
I for one like the wrist lock, no reason they shouldn't get exposed to it early to know it is yet another joint that can be attacked. I use them, even just a floating wrist lock I know there is no way to finish, just to get a big reaction, then use that reaction to move to a better position.
A year in and I’m still terrible, but watching him I see that I at least recognize most of the attacks coming at me. And I have learned to go for those points of contact. 2nd day, you have no shot haha! Good video!
I'm only a blue belt, but I've had this dilemma of - do I be nice and let the new guy work/play around OR do I whoop their butt for the whole round so they get to see that jiu jitsu is real. I usually stick to the first option but if they're grunting and going 100% trying to hurt me (tends to be the wrestler type background) I will deploy the smesh and just stay on top the whole time😂

YEs you summed it up perfectly.

Thank you and thank you for watching! Happy holidays!
Sidenote, I like that you're starting to refer to this area of the gym as your office. 👏🏻
Thanks for posting these types of videos! I’m a 55 and just had my 1st BJJ class, definitely humbling experience but very enjoyable at the same time.
@@waynecarignan6890 you are welcome and thank you for watching! Stay calm. Stay injury free and watch how your life changes. Welcome to bjj!
Lucky him, running into you on a day two open mat. He got a private lesson!
haha. Indeed!
I love the commentary and the explanations on certain moves...
Thanks!

Yes I find wrist lock attempts are just to get a reaction then switch to something else

@@douglasduggerton a wise choice!
I was so nervous my first roll I don’t even remember it.
I've seen that double arm lock from back mount, called a surf board. Never seen it from seated back take though.
No jewelry on the mat! 😆
Long videos are great!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Dan!
20K subscribers is great!
My first roll I got wrist locked but to be fair his nick name was "wrist lock" haha.
@@retiredusmc9090 haha.
