Bulletproof For BJJ Podcast #11: BJJ Problems: Not Knowing How To Learn

[@thesecurityguardchannel]

I’m 46 and in my second week of classes. Your podcast has been a godsend because you literally have an episode for every question I’ve had so far. I literally feel like I’m being jumped at practice! Old age is kicking my ass, my cardio has a foot on my back, and anxiety is sitting on my legs…..all of that BEFORE some 17 year old folds me like a lawn chair 🤦‍♂️😂. I appreciate you guys, and look forward to continuing the journey. Be blessed guys.

I am starting to jutsu again after 15 years off. I feel so humbled. It is incredibly difficult. This is wonderful content for me. I grew up wrestling so I just want to grind. I know that is not the way.

Welcome back! Happy to help

[@thebjjfoxcast9981]

Awesome podcast! Great information. Once I decided to train less I found that my training sessions were more intentional and therefore more productive. Great advice for beginner and advanced students of the game.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Thanks for listening! It's true. Less can often be more ; )

OMG perfect Pod Cast theme! I am to the point where I stoped visiting the main dojo. We opened our own gym creating some training partners. Investing 4 years into two partners! I am greatful! We do amazing amounts of progress without the Smash in every round! When I go to the main dojo where Professor resides, it is rounds of prevention than ones of skill aquisition. I am reinvesting time into the one's at the main dojo who show promise of longevity and skill! Yes I agree I do push in preperation for my next IBJJF compitition, and only with the ones who are sane! I am 61, Purpel belt, Light Feather,

Hahaha I'm always the guy to ask for a demonstration one more time. This past week, I could tell my coach was getting frustrated teaching this movement to a white belt. I'm a white belt too but I used to do judo so I pick it up a little faster.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

every gym needs a 'one more time plz coach' guy : )

[@billywalendom]

great podcast, no wasted moments

[@MasterTeep]

The blind leading the blind bit hit close to home 😢 I've definitely gave out advice as a white belt. I've showed guys that didn't know any submissions a fundamental submissions before. Showed a big guy a head and arm choke from mount and showed a skinny boi a arm drag triangle from bottom. Both guys didn't know any subs and didn't watch the sport, so they were completely new. Meanwhile I'm submitting all of my peers several times per round, and threatening submissions and having entertaining rolls with the blue belts. I try not to give advice but I feel so bad when somebody is passive and hopeless ya know

[@bulletproofforbjj]

We all do our best to share and help others. its only over time and through experience that you realise that sometimes this can be misguided. You do the best you can.

[@jedsanford7879]

I have another white belt I drill with sometimes and he gives me all kinds of feed back. It honestly messes up my sets lol, hes nitpicking every grip, no stop, you need to be higher on the collar here, no higher than that. Post up on your elbow when you go for that grip. etc etc. And all Im trying to do is lock in pivoting my hips lol.

[@aidanschlegel5727]

When you know they're wrong it's even worse

[@celiad5719]

Great podcast. Greetings from Paris!

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Good to have you with us!

[@sharlah4057]

I get that you don't want to practice new / difficult skills when tired. I do wonder if there isn't some benefit in practicing some simple - already embedded skills when tired - just to prove that you can still pull that out of the hat when under pressure.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Absolutely there is. This is essentially the basis of developing conditioning/capacity

[@kcov6170]

Yes, I agree... especially within self defense scenarios. You're spot on

[@TridentLion]

Thanks guys

Traditional GJJ solves these problems, by having a CURRICULUM. KJJ Kama Jiu Jitsu .

[@Jdac333]

So, the curriculum is set? Forever? With no changes? Who decides that?

[@awol2019]

@@Jdac333 As with any academy/gym/club, the owner or Professor.

[@Jdac333]

@@awol2019 yeah but you said Traditional GJJ solves the problem…So therefore there can never be any adaptations or changes as it all stems from Helio Gracie. So if there is even one minor change it no longer is GJJ is it?
