Cautionary Tale Of Talking During Rolling In BJJ

[@vitod7425]

My talking during a roll consists of “shit” “fuck” “noooo” and giggling like Johnny Knoxville when I’m in danger. All followed by “Thanks man” and a hand shake.

[@OneNvrKnoz]

@@JJoh4040 like Unknown 51 said, your partner may not appreciate the way you interact with them and doing so can breed a toxic gym environment. Not just saying something funny either, for example Chewie mentioned shit talking with his training partner. It was evident that the two of them are okay with the smack talk, but if your partner isn't, then you shouldn't engage in that type of thing while training in your gym. In competition, that's a whole other discussion (though I personally don't like it there either because I find it unsportsmanlike).

[@davidroque4008]

I say “TAP!” Constantly while rolling.

I'm not sure what he was doing wrong but I really just wasn't feeling it. We made eye contact at one point and I just kind of shrugged at him and said "I don't know man".

[@lima_wawae6283]

In my gym, a moderate amount of chatter is pretty standard. Only once did a newer student announce to our instructor she "tapped everyone in class." They were politely told such talk is taboo and they apologized. Sometimes it's a lack of self awareness. Most of the time the chat is after a roll, a brief "that was a nice sweep/ you really caught me w/ that sub." Respectful, no ego. Other times it's more like, "can you show me how you did that/ what can I do from that position?" Genuine, trying to learn from the roll. Personally, I talk. And this video won't change that. When I roll with lower belts, I let them know at the start they can work what they like, I'm not here to smash them. I let them advance according to their skill level. I will help them through positions and submissions, likewise. With anyone "on my level" I'm generally silent during the roll and will complement/thank them afterward. I legit have to focus and this is time for me to improve on myself. Also, I'm 36 and usually need to conserve my energy for these rolls. When I roll with brown and black belts, again, I'm focusing and trying to conserve energy. Occasionally, if anything, a light hearted, self depricating, "oh no!" or "this isn't good." will slip out. Sometimes when I'm really getting smashed I'll ask coach why he's doing this to me, I thought we were friends.. Of course, I know why he does it. Hell, I'm paying good money for it. 😂🤣😂

[@peteypablo09]

I don't think the video was trying to change you talking. He said he likes to talk himself! He would agree with you!! 😄

[@dkfitnerd1375]

If I get caught in a sub by a lower belt, the only time I start to coach is if I feel like they are starting to give up on the submission. I'll usually say something like "Dont give up!" and "Keep working it!". I do this for 2 reasons, 1: if I'm defending it, I dont want them to stop believing in the sub. 2: I like to work my escapes and see if during live rolling if I can get out of a almost or sunk in sub. Love the content bro! Keep it up!

[@JustinMeyers-Plasticmonument]

I used to train with a brown belt that was maybe a blue belt at best. He talked me through every submission I ever put him through. Finally I got to the point where I would crank the submission in the middle of him talking. People pulled me aside and told me that he was doing it to everyone including the higher belts. The professor had to tell him to quit teaching everyone mid roll. One time he freaked out during a sweep I hit him with, screamed it was illegal, went to the workout section of the school and started throwing the dumbbell weights around... Not kidding. Also, I'm not bragging... I'm nothing special. I get smoked all the time. He just wasn't a real brown belt and was insecure about it.

[@AmbicionEterna]

Whoever gave him that brown belt did him a disservice! No one wins.

[@WrightFightConcepts]

Great video. Actually very refreshing to hear. At my gym we tend to talk, and I have always preferred some sort of talking during a roll. Usually if somebody submits me kind of saying that was awesome. That’s about the extent of it though. And yeah, never talk Someone threw moves when they’re beating you. It’s an obvious face saving thing. For my part, whenever I am rolling with somebody it is out of fellowship so a secret part of me is rooting for them, and the other part of me that has that fellowship with them also knows that they deserve nothing less than my best. So if they got a submission on me then not only did they earn it but it was awesome and I am proud of them for it. But I’m gonna try my best too

Three injuries time to recover and time work change in my program for few years change my life around opened up a business now I’m back it 6 months strong

[@jacobday3826]

Mat time means very little if you don't have the skill to back it up.. let's say in those 10 years your injuries and other events in life took you out of BJJ for 5 years. You're saying in 5 years you still haven't got your blue? Cool. You've got "more mat time than some blues". That doesn't mean much..

It's hard to admit, but I just realized that I am the guy Chew is telling not to be: I always talk and try to "help" other people submit me (and I'm only white belt). Thanks for pointing it out, I will stop doing it from now on, I will take my loss and I will own it

In my gym the teachers always encourage us to talk while we're rolling, they say that if you can not hold a conversation comfortably then we are rolling too hard to learn the techniques well and we should calm down a bit.They gave us the advice that if your opponent is going too hard on you (not just submitting you, but rather being a bit reckless) you could just throw a question at him , to force him to slow down a and answer it.

[@sillyfarmerbilly8872]

My instructor makes small talk with us while we're rolling with each other. During my third class ever I was getting smashed and the instructor asked me from across the room, "hey Billy, do you know the name of that meteor shower tonight?"... I thought he was testing me to see if I could be distracted, so I ignored him. He kept asking me, "hey Billy... You ignoring me?" "I'm fighting for my life here!" ... Other times help put us in a mock match with real stakes, and then he cracks jokes the whole time and we're trying to fight each other laughing.

[@johnmag202]

Personally, talking never crosses my mind while I’m rolling

[@P12ooF]

I make jokes the entire time. I like to have fun when people go lifeless. Or when I go lifeless...

[@JickFincter]

Maybe you haven't experienced this before, but I've had a different kind of talking issue when visiting some other gym. I knew a teenager that would try to start such deep conversations it took you away from rolling. Wether he was winning or losing he was constantly saying stuff to try to get you sucked into a conversation. A lot of white belts that rolled with him would get so distracted they were barely even rolling. I just wouldn't say anything when I rolled with him. He was also a white belt, he wasnt even bad he put up a pretty good fight most of the time for how new he was but idk man.

[@Thejokingspy2394]

Me and my oppenent at my tournament talked the whole. Match nice guy too 😂 he got me with a nice knee bar

[@kullenberg]

I had this exact situation where I as a whitebelt rolled with a senior TKD practicioner who shared mats with us and wanted to try BJJ. He put up real resistance up until the point where it was obvious he would not be able to defend my submission, and just as you said in the video he went limp and started talking to me as if he was my coach and graciously "let" me put him in a rear naked to "practice my technique".

[@yesclemfandango]

Sometimes I setup a picnic for the two of us while rolling.

[@ronanmcconnon9935]

Definitely tell people they hit a nice move on you at other gyms. Sometimes they even stop mid roll to teach you what they did and help you improve.

[@mpforeverunlimited]

I either am coaching lower belts on what they're doing wrong or trash talking people my level

[@Damnationization]

I've had people that were higher belts, talk me through what to do/how to do it. I will also give out compliments to other guys. Great escape, that was fast, good thinking, and so on.

[@robbybee70]

ah, the old 'green belt was an intermediary between white and blue' story....#memories

[@Trihope]

I’m new and rolled with an acquaintance. I actually enjoyed having a convo with him while still focusing on rolling. Also, I liked him giving me feedback while rolling for learning purposes, such as, that was a good move or you could have done an arm bar. Thanks for the video.

[@Preocia]

I was rolling with a pretty new guy at my gym, and I could feel him panicking when I passed his guard into Mount, and he did not try to advance his position, instead he would try to squeeze the life out of me... and then I chose to talk him through how to reverse it and submit me. Would you say I talked myself out of a loss?

[@jameshawkins1781]

I will only talk someone through a position when someone has me dead to rights positionally, and I feel the “I don’t know what to do with my hands” pause in their offense. That said, if I feel someone hit me with the same submission and it’s only slightly off each time, I’ll escape, and then I will feed it to them once more and help them correct on the fly. Although, “We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty” is my usual imminent death phrase just before I sink in some form of choke.

[@Disgruntledgamer]

Me and my friend once debated star wars while rolling

[@Gelato556]

There’s two guys who do this at my gym, I could never put it into words until I watched this video. They’re both 1 stripe white belts and they will walk even blue belts and purple belts through moves while rolling. I never knew why but it always rubbed me the wrong way.

[@lakobosmerkel]

When people start to execute something that is obviously gonna work.... I always say "shit's not gonna work on me, son."

[@juryrigjohn9697]

I don't do bjj but from wrestling if it's competitive there's no talking, if it's friendly there's shit talking, and if it's a novice against someone good you give them encouragement for what they did right. The only time you give them advice is when they're obviously stuck and don't have an answer to something. I think conducting yourself in that way is good for everyone. No distractions when you're pushing yourself, learning to relax and joke around, and helping a novice who is stuck... Also for me, I think I became a better wrestler when I started teaching technique to the younger guys, and we were all the unskilled once. It's good hearing feedback. Obviously using it as a copout is bullshit Edit: just subscribed to you, came across this channel a few times and love your input on things

[@psyience3213]

Thank god im not a whit belt anymore so higher belts dont walk me through beating them. That used to kill the whole thing for me. Give me tips after the roll if you want, thats what ill do. Ill say like, " remind me adter the roll to show you x"

[@Yerr_ItsNick]

My second roll ever was with this one blue belt guy in the gym. he kept saying mad weird shit in my ear and he got to my back but I was defending the choke so he gave me a nuggy. I really didnt know or talk to this guy like that but I had about 3 months of wrestling experience so I knew basic concepts. I got a reversal and got to his back and gave him a nuggy and proceeded to constantly pressure him but he just curled up into a ball and didnt even try to get back on top.

[@Ezio9791]

What's a nuggy?

[@Yerr_ItsNick]

@@Ezio9791 Its when somebody aggressively rubs their knuckles on the top of your head. The stereotypical bully move lol. I'm sure he was doing it in a joking manner but it still felt good letting him know that I could "bully" him right back.

[@jimjackson3245]

We talk more after the fact. Like if I slipped a triangle or armbar, we'll wait for the round to finish and then critique each other positively. Never has it been a negative experience for me. But it's worth noting too, I'm a lower belt and upper belts will help me finish all the time. "Hey adjust this" or "dont forget your hook" or whatever. It never comes across to me as them talking themselves out of a loss, more that they're helping me get better at my game. There's hardly a better learning opportunity than live rolling and finding yourself in an organic position to say "hey, this is where you need to get that hook in". Maybe it's just a rapport thing? But I'd have never thought I was doing someone a disservice helping them finish a choke so thank you for sharing that. I'll be mindful in the future if I find myself doing that and someone is getting upset.

[@Sutherlinite]

Haha "Your guard's weak bro"

[@cp24eva]

I am one of the biggest guys in my school and I'm a blue belt, so I normally go a little lighter on the white belts. I have a decent amount of knowledge to know when I'm in trouble or something like that so I defend well. There will be times where I will kind of give them a favorable position to see what they will do and many times they don't take it and usually end up with a bunch of nothing on their end. Now I know how to escape or sweep, but I normally coach them through an option they didn't realize was there. It won't be some amazing rarely seen before technique. It's just that them being inexperienced didn't realize the capabilities from that position. So after I show them I say "Ok, lets go back to that position, but do it for real this time." At that point I'm in a bit more trouble now, but I am decent at defending. I see the smile on their face and that makes me happy because they walked away with something. A few times I got to see the fruits of their labor when they tried the same thing on someone else and I'm in the corner with the Pai Mei beard stroke. Should I stop? Or should I go through the roll and maybe take the time after to show them something?

Talking during rolling is a good skill for law enforcement. To be able to communicate with the person you are trying to control or with your partners that are getting involved is super important.

Thanks for the awesome tip.

[@375mma8]

I’m with you on the talking to people who you roll with regularly. I’ve just come from class and I was doing that with some of my partners. Example, a guy I roll with every class - at the start you ready for these heel hooks brother, and a new guy pressing me from the top driving his shoulder into my throat, really trying, it wasn’t in I had my shoulder guarding it. I feel him let off and I tell him. If it makes you feel better that wasn’t in dude. His reply, thanks that does make me feel better.

[@spencerkristich4369]

your very intelligent, your very good at explaining things

[@benjiavelar7030]

I came from a wrestling background and I preface with that bc most guys at my gym give me credit for the strength that I have in between positions and my positional defense. However even though I can pretty much control position and scramble out of many weak positions I do struggle with finding submissions. one day I was rolling with one of the vets (purple belt) and essentially he put himself in a dominant position I successfully scrambled and found myself on top mount. In the exchange my strength was just too much for his defense but after about 30 seconds of no progress and me just grabbing his wrists and trying to find something he taught me an arm bar which is now one of my fav submissions and one of my most successful. different circumstances but very similar situations
