Great roll guys! Both some of my favorite dudes!

Couple of stud brown belts

Great times, as always. Thanks for the roll!

As we get older, its so much easier to maintain it than to obtain it. Aging is not all bad news, I am still finding progress even though I am getting older, the key for me is the strategy changes over time away from pure effort to more about recovery. I still push myself, but recovery is crucial - I get more out of improving sleep, diet, or finding a new recovery method for muscles than I do from doing "more" work like what worked in my youth. If you have maintained your body your likely already at a high level, there is no reason to kill yourself anymore, it is time to be smart with pushing within limits and make sure your recovering properly - if not back off and recoup.

It’s not gay if you don’t make eye contact

Not saying you’re wrong, just curious - how does grappling improve bone strength? Never heard that before.

You're like a wise uncle telling us all how to survive oldness. thanks.

To me #1 is hygiene. Clean clothes, trimmed nails. Maybe brush your teeth once in a while.

This is so good! It's also so applicable to stuff outside BJJ. I do muay thai (at a very novice level) and see a direct parallel. Thanks for sharing!

What days do you do these?

Great job Cory!!

Thank you for posting this! I’m taking some good notes, saw a bunch of stuff to work on for sure! Great roll!

I agree. I have NEVER tapped to pure exhaustion. And I never will. I LOVE digging deep when i'm just totally 'spent'. The only two times I have almost tapped(maybe once, actually) when rolling with a wrestler who eventually mounted me and applied pressure to where I am EXHAUSTED and unable to BREATHE. For me, I look at it as a challenge. At worst, im going to have somebody submit me through exhaustion and basically sitting on my lungs. But im going to keep showing up. And if all I can gain is a few more seconds of survival every time I roll those types of opponents, then so be it! I will build, little by little until I posses the requisite skill to get out of the exhausted/mount/pressure submit. I guess my point is don't beat yourself up any longer than necessary. Be aware of your fault, Make a plan and figure out a way to go after it every day, inch by inch. This is what i do my best in trying to implement personally....

Everyone needs to hear this. Not just white belts.

Great stuff bro

Great video! Love those sweeps ed is working. And you had some slow motion worthy answers to his attacks! 😂

Number one is the reason that I prefer (as a white belt) to go against blue and purple belts over some 300lb white belt putting all his weight on me in side control/mount.

Dustin poiriers dad?

This is actually a great take and this unfortunately did not hit the algorithm. Happy I got it in mine. Haven’t been grappling for long but this will stick w me

So true! Never thought about this

Wise words as always

such great rolls - that needs a camera man that films with angle from ground close

Wow Kyle is so chill! must be great fun to roll with. Imagine someone getting your head and not trying to just pop it off like a lolipop.

Looking good in the no gi!!!

I’ve never seen you and Spider-Man in the same room 🤔

Subbing, this is great.

Great vid. Thanks

1:15 this looks fun

Love it bro! Definitely love that slow crawl off.. 😂

Such a humble dude!

My Kenpo background was sort of a modern traditional blend and we bowed in. I still bow in as somewhat part of that tradition, but I also feel it helps me frame my mindset of what I am about to do or have just done.

That’s a big boy 🤠

Cool video, love the attitude and approach to rolling :D you guys look so fun to roll with.

Love these videos!

We pay for our skills with failure, thats what I always say.

Mmmm humble pie. Kinda sick of it tbh. Can we have some other pie today?

Epic attitude!!

I wanna play!

Pajama grappling or yoga pants grappling? I train both. At first I really disliked the pajamas with people just yanking on my collars all the time. but I realized at some point it was a skill issue. lately I have been enjoying gi a bit more, maybe because I've been doing some IBJJF.

Bro you are so awesome. Love the attitude

Brown belt subs are so savage. Just gentle, slow, but yeah. You're done. The gentleness of it is slightly terrifying ngl.

Love this energy, great video. Thank you.

Lovely commentary. Thank you

Can’t wait for my chance!! Lol wink wink

Nice!

Gotta get that bro shake grip on the armbars 🙌🏽 Great video

I’ve tapped to pressure quite a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever tapped to exhaustion. There have been times that I’ve considered it, but I don’t want to do that to my opponent or myself. Now, I will say that I’m guilty of watching the clock, seeing there’s a short amount of time left, and just holding my opponent in guard or half guard to avoid the submission before the buzzer. I don’t like doing that; it also kind of feels like cheating. Professor Sharpie has been challenging me to roll with my eyes closed; nothing exists in the roll except for me and my opponent. Time stops mattering when you shut everything else out. Great video, and great food for thought; keep it up!

I started BJJ in my fifiies. On one of my very first rolls I tapped out to exhaustion - I had a big young blue belt on top of me, my heart felt like it wanted to burst, and I wasn't sure I could remember how to breathe. At that point, I didn't just feel I was tapping out of the roll, I felt I was tapping out of BJJ in general. My cardio has improved since then, but I wouldn't go back and advise that version of myself to carry on in that situation. I do agree though, after a year of training, I wouldn't tap to exhaustion, because I understand a little more about how to manage the situation and how not to gas out in the first place.

What age did you start bjj?

Not in my opinion. At that point you should just let yourself get submitted
