As a 40+ year old higher belt, it's also important to develop a "lazy game" as a plan B for when you are gassed, which you can apply even when you only have 10-20% of your energy left. I always keep rolling even when I'm completely spent and that helped a lot in that regard.

I’m 30 and I practice lazy all the time but use my explosive in sparring during a fight help a lot with being very technical

I sit out if I'm that spent. I find my injuries come if I have no energy left

This is a survival game and for training I do agree it’s good to have so you can stay in the fight. It should evolve though to opportunist type strategy vs a survival game or “lazy game” at a higher belt level. At purple belt and above there should be enough sweeps and escapes that you can purposefully give up passes or position so you can counter (sweep) or escape. It’s much easier to rest on top.

The other thing too is probably not getting overly concerned with the belt the person is wearing. Sometimes you may train with a white belt that is a white belt because they just started training BJJ, but maybe they’ve been wrestling, doing Judo, Sambo, etc for a long time and they just have a strong pace already. I love everything that Bernardo shared though to build your cardio, great advice as always.

Bernardo already said it, but to recognize KZbin’s algorithms, I’ll leave a comment too. It gets lost in competition focused schools, but often your training goal doesn’t need to be ‘winning’. It’s needs to be expending the least amount of energy possible to defend yourself. Sometimes I run 3 miles to a school to train (and Uber back). I’m a brown belt who is way over 50. I’m exhausted before the rolling even starts. I’ll get a crazy 20 year old blue belt who skipped the warmup. That’s my reminder to breath, keep movements concise and relax.

To the purple belt... 1. You know your body. Are you normally super-fit? Or do you gas quite easily during rolls? You need to compare this particular roll to your "average/typical" rolls. This will give you a baseline to work from. 2. It's possible that you simply had a bad day. Maybe you ate belt that day... Too much protein, not enough carbs? Maybe you had an argument at home or at work? Maybe you recently moved to a new place? Look for anything atypical in your routines for clues. 3. Maybe you were getting a cold or flu. 4. You've been doing Jiu-Jitsu for a while now. As a purple belt, you've definitely been doing this for longer than 3 years. Which means you've got a lot of baseline data to evaluate yourself on. You're also 42. Which basically means you're definitely not 22 anymore. Use your experience of yourself to gauge how you're doing. 5. Is this white belt you tapped to a newcomer to your gym? Maybe there's some ego involved, with heightened adrenaline levels? 6. Are you finding yourself "tapping out" due to exhaustion in other facets of your life? If so, there's a possibility you're experiencing situational depression. (Also, the world is kinda filled with war and conflict and pressure right now. So that could be affecting you more than you realise.) 7. Maybe this is an opportunity for you to reevaluate your rolling goals, strategy, and tactics? Might be time to revisit the basics... Making sure you're breathing, getting your heart rate down, relaxing when you can during a roll? 8. And all the things Bernardo said. Onwards and upwards!

Swim, and do interval training, box jumps. There are many ways. The biggest and most affective component is eating clean and drinking plenty of electrolytes

One advice to increase your cardio only through rolling is to always push yourself. Don’t take rest rounds, even if you’re tired. Go to open mats and get lots of rolling in. Usually people will use a different strategies when fatigued, find out what works for you. If you are leaving class and you’re not exhausted/tired then you clearly didn’t push yourself (of course if your cardio is great this will be different). When rolling try to choose partners that will push you, don’t just choose easy chill rolls.

I am a white belt 40's had a competition this weekend. I have been in matches with 20s and 30s went their pace. My goal the competition was to control the pace, create opportunities to score, and attack. I know my defense and gaurd retention is good. So i force him to my strengths. My opponent trying to push the pace. I kept my pace and used grips to slow he down. Which in the end got the wins.

"Conditioning is your best hold" Karl Gotch. Also many people are taking pre workouts and high caffeine supplements for endurance so check with training buddies to see if they use these as you may be trying to keep up with them and gassing as a result, I used to train at a Muay Thai gym and most guys who competed took some kind of supplement to survive the cardio and I thought I was just unfit until I found this out lol.

As a 90yo I apply a strategy from hickson. Basically I tie my arms behind my back and tie my legs up too. I then tuck my chin in and ask people to roll with me. I have never been tapped by anyone..... you need to be smart!

As a 42yr old blue belt, I find being lazy and letting my opponent do all the work helps increase my gas tank. I also roll at 60%, and try to apply more technique. But it's generally white and some blue belts that go full super saiyan on you.

Happens me all the time if I haven’t been training as much and they’re bigger than me. Don’t sweat it, and put it on them next time you roll and remind them what’s what. I try not to count tapping if I’m 100% gassed

@WWTDYLD Ай бұрын

Real talk. I’m 46. My first days in the mat I was getting gassed and knew that no matter how many techniques I learned that if I didn’t have any wind it would be useless. I started with just 30 minutes of cardio every other day. Eventually I got up to 60 minutes 4 days a week. Since, I’ve ran a half marathon, a full marathon and often do 10 miles just for the fun of it. I’ve done 90 minute rolls (no stopping) with my 25 year old son who is more athletic than me. Truth is that if you want better cardio you just need to spend real time in your target heart rate zone on a consistent basis.

@stevenslawson8926 Ай бұрын

@@WWTDYLD this is so true. Zone 2 training is so boring and slow, and yet is 100% best way to improve cardio. I have never been able to stay in 2 during an actual class. I point bjj people to run lab zone stuff all the time. It’s counterintuitive that hard rolling doesn’t really improve your cardio, zone training does. 90 straight is awesome. five to six minute rounds all I do. Maybe 6 to 7 rounds if some purple belt goes easy on me for a round.

@@stevenslawson8926 those epic long rolls are usually reserved for special occasions. 4 or 5 is about all we have time for in class. It’s crazy how simple the solution to good cardio is. People will go around the block to avoid running or admitting that they need to.

I can't remember the last time that I gassed out, and it has nothing to do with my cardio. In fact, I'm almost in as bad of shape as when I started. If you're running out of steam, you might be trying to use too much strength, allowing yourself to get too tense, and just not breathing. At purple, you should have mastered the art of being annoying with minimal effort.

Seen many 6 month high school wrestler white belts absolutely work higher belts in no gi who don’t have good wrestling. Obsessing over belts is a waste of time imo just keep focusing on improving knowledge of positions, conditioning, tactics and refine submission mechanics etc over time
