51 year old purple rolling with aggressive white belt(round 2)

[@racoder]

I joined a club last week for the first time at 34. These narrated rolls are very insightful, the way you talk about techniques and mindset is really useful. Thank you !

[@fredrlemos]

Great roll! He looks like a very conscientious white belt. Guys like him mostly have a faster and better evolution.

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! You are correct sir!

[@nerdobject5351]

“The diamond”. I like that way of explaining it.

[@M_Emery99]

"Look for the answers in positions." Well said.

[@ronhenderson783]

He looked way better this video and I garentee less exhausted great work

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! Chris will be happy to read this!

[@nerdobject5351]

He was way calmer. Less exhausted means more rolling which means more learning.

[@Jitsover50]

Yes very often I see white belts taking off rounds due to lack of wind due to inefficiency. @@nerdobject5351

[@juanlopez154]

I learn so much from this narrative rolls. Thank you brother !

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you for always supporting Juan

[@25davidhenry]

Excellent video! It is fantastic that you are helping/teaching Chris. I learned a lot, too. I like how you talk about the diamond position - that was very interesting,

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! The Diamond is the set up for many attacks. Thank you for watching and appreciating his progress. More to come!

[@RBadding]

These rolls against white belts are good since they show all the mistakes so clearly - it's educational. And great narration. Thanks again!

[@Jitsover50]

That is true. Plus you can see my mistakes against higher belts

[@RBadding]

@@Jitsover50Not really, I can't see anything in those - too high level. :D It looks like nothing much is happening in those, but I'm sure the exact opposite is true, a lot is happening. I just don't see it.

[@Jitsover50]

@@RBadding when it’s happening to me I don’t see it either. Haha!

[@SauceMario]

@@Jitsover50 Me and one of my coaches were talking about recording some rolls for just that reason. We want to see what there is going on and have a true look at what we look like rolling. Are we doing the things we think we're doing or not?

[@Jitsover50]

@@SauceMario yes totally. You can analyze together!

[@TheDentist27]

Awesome to see how much he improved in such a short time

[@Jitsover50]

Agreed!

[@ph5288]

The story of his friend sending him the previous video is hilarious. He's lucky to have a experienced practitioner in the same gym take so much time and interest in his development, but also, means he has a humble enough mentality that you would be willing to do so. Good sign for your gym!

[@Jitsover50]

He is a Jiu-jitsu lottery winner. A well deserving one.

[@dingomanz7]

Dude got up quick.

[@Jitsover50]

He's a rock climber. I know he got up on one leg

[@Mushroom-God-1]

Please keep them coming! Im learning so much and enjoying your narration and how higher belts think during a roll. thanks for posting.

[@Jitsover50]

You are welcome! Much more to come!

[@Randoverse]

Has taken me awhile to get that hip bump working right. Gotta make sure to get a hand free to push the leg so you can scoot your leg in to pull guard. Tough as a tall guy!

[@Jitsover50]

Just make sure when your hips land that you have made enough space. Sometimes you have to bump and shrimp a couple of times. When your hips are far enough away then slide your knee in

[@SauceMario]

That loop choke/pendulum sweep is so fun. It doesn't work often but when it does it feels great. I like to finish it into a bow and arrow(*Edit-and I see you did just a few moments later). It's kind of a white belt only move but it's fun so I throw it out when I can.

[@Jitsover50]

I feel like the bow and arrow leaves too much room for escape. I do more of an improvised.

[@kalamant1]

As a new white belt, I really appreciate this 😂

[@Jitsover50]

I hope you've seen part 1. Thank you

[@sorrythanks666]

Great vid and commentary!

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! I appreciate that

[@OhsoWoobie]

As a white belt, I like the white belt videos the best

[@Jitsover50]

I have plenty more coming since most students are white belts. :)

[@OhsoWoobie]

yay!@@Jitsover50

[@andrewkim6037]

Another solid video! Question…do you usually get the finish with that loop choke shown at 0:45?

[@Jitsover50]

Yes. Though I've been using it to sweep lately! Good question

[@AshyKnucks]

Is this at Codella? It looks like their space, but the banner is not visible.

[@Jitsover50]

@@AshyKnucks yes it is!

[@seanrudden5647]

man, your technique is so solid. how often do you train?

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you. 4 days a week.

[@seanrudden5647]

I'm a 47 year old purple belt and I do 3-5 a week too but your understanding of the concepts is next level. do you do a lot of drilling vs rolling, do you watch tutorials, etc?@@Jitsover50
