Fallon VS 5’8 145 LBS Blue Belt No Gi with Narration

Hi guys!
So, this week I am training with Richard who is a blue belt at my gym. He is 5’8 & 145 lbs which is very close to my size! It was highly requested that I go against a male that was my height and weight. Richard is the lightest male at our gym, so this is as close as it gets! I hope you guys enjoy it! Make sure you leave comments below on other BJJ content you would like to see from me! 😊
Xoxo,
Fallon

​@@FallonFratonehow can I wrestle with you ?

[@Siriusb27]

Hello, you're doing so great ! I'm curious about your use of physical strenght. I was wondering, is it easier when you fight with a same weigh guy for you than heavier guy (logically yes) ? How do you adapt your technique ? Do you use more physical strenght to get a submission when you oppose someone like him than usual ? What about the grapevine, does it require strenght/technique depending on the opponent ? And why you BJJ practitioners, you rarely grip the wrist to secure the pin ? That baffles me. Sorry if it is too many questions (and sorry for my english, it might be a bit strange but I'm French actually). I'm not a practitioner but I quite like to watch some combat sometimes, I'm also a writer and knowing more about that could be useful to be faithfull in some action scenes. Thank you so much for your kind reply !

[@UnobtaniumsQuickReviews]

ROFL! As a bluebelt myself I was kindof getting depressed until I clicked the "about". Very awesome video and skillset on display! I have a background in lifting, and I approached BJJ as I've approached other combatives, and strength matters, but it doesn't matter nearly as much as I thought it would. I remember first time someone I outweighed by 50# (and probably lift 2-3x what they do on various lifts) absolutely demolished me. I tried it again with the same results. And again. It was depressing as they were a new guy to my gym and it was always in no-gi. I finally asked how long he had been fighting BJJ and he said he'd done semi-pro level MMA for 10-12 years, heavy grappling focus. You really just cannot make up for skillset with anything in this game. This video underscores that once again! Props!

Hi Fallon, Girls are generally more flexible compared to guys, but how important is flexibility in Gi/No-Gi? or is it not that much relevant?

[@FallonFratone]

Hi!👋🏻 so, flexibility definitely has its strengths in BJJ. It’s easier for me to do certain positions because of my flexibility. For example, let’s say someone has mount on me. I can throw my legs over their body and escape fairly easy compared to someone who isn’t flexible. So, my flexibility helps my BJJ game in a lot of ways. But, you don’t have to be flexible to be good, some people are super strong or quick and that’s their strength instead. Everyone has their own game which is why BJJ is so cool!

[@kamikazeplays6818]

Yeah girls are usualy more flexible but there are people with soft tendons like me lol. Flexibility realy helps its probably the most underated think to have. Its so fun confusing people with it

The holds appeared crushing and got submissions in a few seconds. I was curious because you don't see the hold taught or worked in videos and it looks pretty brutal.

Serious question - I want to get my 15 yr old daughter into jiu jitsu for self defense but I don't know about the gym culture. If girls regularly roll with older men. Potential for perversion etc. Is this typically an issue? Any advice around safeguards?

[@FallonFratone]

Hi 👋🏻 so if she’s 15 she should be put into a teen class with other teens. That will be more comfortable. There’s also gyms that do women only classes. I think the best thing is to find a gym that is safe and the people who run it are genuine people who care for their students and their safety.

@@Albundy11373 Teen class is great, but adult class can be OK if there is a consistent core of women for her to partner with. Scope out any potential school and get a feel for the coach and members.

Newbie here… When it comes to things like leg locks, are they ok for live rolling for lower belts? Or are they frowned upon?

[@FallonFratone]

It honestly just depends on the person! So, I’m a higher belt who is aloud to do everything, (except heel hook in gi under IBJJF) so I don’t mind when lower belts go for leg locks because it helps my game tremendously. And if a lower belt goes for them on me, I see it as a green light for me to attack as well. The only time it’s frowned upon is when two lower belts are attacking illegal and dangerous moves on each other because they can get hurt.

Hi welcome to my channel! You can always ask me anything, I’m not one to get mad! I love when people ask questions! So, in that instance you’re talking about my inside leg crossing which is legal.

[@V_ii]

I've rolled with a lot of women who beat me. Even if being physically stronger, I focus more on technique instead of trying to power my way through. It helps me to learn to be better at my game. Though there were a couple girls that were very strong and skilled who got me. The creator of this video is actually skilled on a technical level. There's nothing wrong with her filming this. The blue belt is trying to learn, and it's very common in a gym/academy to have rolls like this. That's the beauty of BJJ. A "smaller/ weaker" opponent actually does have a chance if we're just talking grappling. These are training partners. You go into rolls with the intent to learn. It's not about beating your opponent as the top priority. That's what you don't understand. Rolling in your gym is about teamwork, comradery, building trust, having fun, learning, discipline, & fitness. If you train and don't understand this, then whomever is teaching you isn't doing a good job or you aren't paying attention. Last, full disclosure, in my opinion women have a slight advantage in one aspect during a bjj roll vs guys, particularly in no gi for one reason. Us guys in general will be very cognizant about not putting pressure on women's breasts with our arms & hands. Things I would do while rolling with other males aren't done in the same manner with female training partners. Other than that, the focus should usually be on technique over pure strength, then applying pressure once dialed in.

[@johndecker7881]

@@V_ii you say it is not about beating your opponent but that is all she does in self promoting vids .

"My gym during the month of August does 10 minute rolls only for the entirety of the class, so that's what we're in the middle of doing right now so pray for us" 10 minutes is too long? Heck, you're just getting started after 10 minutes, right? ( said by someone who's just watching, right? haha ) I see Bobby was getting in a roll as well. Can we have a narration from him on one of his rolls sometime?

[@FallonFratone]

Thank you so much George! Hahah 10 minute rolls for an hour and 30 minutes gets a little rough 😂😂 and this was my third class of the day🫣 we usually train 7 minutes after we learn a position, so we only roll for about 45 minutes. It’s a fun change up though!! 😊😊 yes! Bobby and I were just talking about that the other day. I’ll have to film a video for him and let him narrate it for you guys! 😊😊😊

Whaw, very refreshing such a video and I subscribed to your channel. I don't know anything about BJJ; I mostly watch here the mostly mixed wrestling videos also from schools. It looks if female legs are so strong that they look like very strong pliers where a man/boy can't escape from. Sometimes it's even painful?!

[@hugoaltaie9801]

I'm a newbie to all things martial arts, so is there no striking whatsoever in BJJ? How would it impact the gameplan if your opponent is striking? Just curious

[@FallonFratone]

Hi! So, BJJ does not have any striking. It is strictly grappling with submissions. Personally, I also took 7 years of tae kwon do and received my black belt. So I’m pretty confident in my striking abilities as well. 😊 always good to be well rounded. 🥋💪🏻

[@hugoaltaie9801]

@@FallonFratone wow that's pretty awesome! Well rounded indeed, but basically what I meant specifically is how does doing a submission change when someone is striking on the ground during the grappling? It must hurt like hell or be really difficult. I only recently got into watching fighting but yeah you look powerful on the ground 👍

[@vichaon]

Blue belt here. I'm just in a world of frustration in my journey for awhile. I feel that every week the classes bring something new to the table and I rarely integrate well enough to apply. I know I have to be patient but lately I feel I'm just stalling. I am amazed by the connectivity on display here and can only remain patient and persistent I guess. One day it will be me.

[@FallonFratone]

Hi! 👋🏻 I love when I get BJJ practitioners on my channel! 🥋💪🏻 everyone goes through it, so don’t worry. As a white and blue belt your defense will progress tremendously and that’s from always being attacked by higher belts and that’s a good thing! Just focus on what the higher belts are doing to you, so you can start understanding offense better. Then you’ll know how to defend and attack positions eventually. Just keep it up, I promise you will get there! Focus on a handful of attacks that you are good at and perfect them!

[@vichaon]

@@FallonFratone thank you for reading the time to reply. I'm in a very competitive gym, they produce national and international champions. Few casual practitioners stick around long enough. And few higher belts seem to take the time to simply say what you just said. It's just the culture I guess. So thank you, it is nice to hear from someone of your skills and rank. I just subbed.

[@StanleyPinchak]

@@vichaon Does your gym offer any beginner / fundamental classes? It can be helpful to see the basics again and again. Ideally, you should be getting the opportunity to work your techniques on a mix of people, including a decent percentage who are less skilled than you. If neither of these are an option, I suggest that you start focusing on a particular position or area that is difficult for you and stick with improving it for a month or two at a time as your primary focus. Ask your coach or more advanced partners for tips on these weak spots. If you start to notice your partners beating you in specific patterns, ask them after the roll about what mistake you made and what you might do to improve it. I started to experiment with butterfly guard as a baby blue belt and it took a good solid month and a half of getting smashed before I could play it with enough success to compliment and not detract from the half guard game I predominantly relied upon at the time. I highly recommend position specific sparring with designated stop and reset criteria. E.g. sweep pass, or submit from a particular guard, or submit or escape from back control. This way you can get a bunch of reps in and clean up weak areas. See if your coach is willing to run a practice like this. If not, you could ask your partner before a roll or at open mat. Video instructionals and youtube may be beneficial at your level, but I would do so with a focus on a specific technique / position / problem area. Then find a partner who can watch the same video and drill it at open mat. Binge watching a smorgasbord of techniques will not be helpful. Rewatching a technique similar or identical to a move you are working on is helpful. If your finances are able to support it, you may consider a private lesson, but if you do, come with an idea on what you want to work on.

That mounted triangle is almost too much control I would worry about accidentally fainting thinking I could last so good thing you went for the arm lock I guess.

that's why it can be good to keep moving so one's partner knows if you accidentally went to sleep.. rare but it happens
