How to Punish Aggressive Opponents in a BJJ Competition

[@whitebeltworld]

I appreciate this. I am a former wrestler and wrestling coach. My biggest hurdle in BJJ is staying within myself and not being to aggressive. Purple belts and above are constantly hitting me with calm sneaky techniques like this.

[@eamonlong]

The use of principles in competition is very well explained here, it's one thing seeing your coach doing them and drilling in the gym but laid out like this in a competition context is very helpful.

[@kennethhutton6682]

He's not a wrestler. Or if he was he wasn't a very good one. His gym is probably wrestling heavy for stand up. You can tell cuz he crosses his feet in his stance. Wrestlers don't do that that's wrestling 101. He's also a little uncoordinated in his stance and a wrestler would never bring his knee to your hand. For most of us when sleeve grips bother us we pummel our hands or try to switch to a 2 on 1. He's definitely aggressive tho. Not too take anything away from you that was a showcase you put on and that triangle from the hitchhikers escape was beautiful.

[@aidanlee8804]

These were exactly my thoughts. The gentleman was certainly not a wrestler, & he lacked technique in both wrestling (pretty much zero from what I can tell) & Jiujitsu, although he had some good defensive qualities, did extremely well to avoid the backtake (genuinely impressive) & the hitchhiker was good initiative. He also did very well to keep the energy going throughout. I was very surprised he didn’t just gas out towards the end where one is effectively giving up to a certain degree. I would guess he goes to a club that emphasises hard sparring. If he could change that approach & concentrate on attacking open guard sweeps from bottom, he’d be a difficult person to beat in a blue belt division. Obviously the guy who posted the video has very nice technique, with some nice AOJ esque passes & very sharp as you say to switch to the triangle. the only qualm, would be to perhaps working on slowing it down once the guard is passed, as moving side to side from side control is a great way to make your opponent use energy & morally give up. That’s why I don’t like to hang around in knee in belly, unless they’re really passive from there.

[@brysonz]

The tricep grip is the hero to this story. Getting those key location grips allows you to control your opponent using leverage. Nicely done with that top pressure with the grips on the legs controlling the whole match. 👏

[@shabblabbat]

Opponent was pretty solid, but your game was better today!

[@sammalama]

Great display of composure under pressure, this is what martial arts is!

[@Omidion]

The title was misleading, it should be "how I punish", since this was a showcase (recap) of your fight and not an actual "how to" tutorial or what ever.

[@lionelbluecobrakai9096]

He explained how to do something using footage. The title is not misleading.

[@gleicon]

Thanks!

[@Carsahh]

My guy this means a ton, thank you so much!

[@gleicon]

@@Carsahh np I wish I could pay a fair ammount. I saw the video, learned, tried some of the strategies and it worked. If you decide to sell any instructional I’d buy. Thanks a lot !

[@nathanielhunt5227]

Good match! I met you at Estevan Martinez’s match in NC. Keep rolling man!

[@JerryKernn]

Saw you at the rev. Good stuff man. Watched you get off the podium with your camera

[@Alstanus]

Nice. I'm a white belt, so I'm taking notes here. Lol! I got my first ever BJJ comp this fall.

[@nolancompetes7082]

Good luck!

[@Alstanus]

@@nolancompetes7082 Thanks, bro! 👊

[@MegaUlysses1234]

Loved the nice double sleeve takedown. Never seen that before. What do you call it? And do you have a video on this takedown?

[@kemalettinsrt]

bro is blue belt and already selling instructional videos hahahhaha

[@benzun9600]

yeah I will purchase advice from someone else lol

[@LostFishingAus]

this video and your narrating was very well done, much love from NSW Australia!

[@JVlife22]

Good job in your match. I like your breakdown keep going you going to develop a good game. Your opponent was in Wrestler mode, he left so many openings. You have a similar game to mine. When I see them bounce all over the place I slow it down which frustrates them and the leave openings. Very nice job. I like the initial sweep, if I may just be a lil closer (*what I mean is, when I do that take down I grip elbow as well. But when I go I switch to their belt or back material on Gi, I feel it makes it a lil tighter and his weight is better moved under me to complete take down*). that space could’ve been countered if he knew to move his body right. God bless, see you in the black belt circle.

[@dedcirc]

the single leg take was super cool

[@micaylapresley]

Fantastic video! You did great and those were some helpful insights 👍

[@doobiemcfearson4646]

Can’t stop laughing at some of the people saying, “Why would I learn from a blue belt?”, knowing damn well this blue belt would destroy them in every way possible. KZbin comment coaches are crazy💀

[@SEAMAN5218]

Brown belt here🤙. I’m paying attention to this dudes video. All good pointers

[@tincan2468]

I competed at this comp too. It was my first one and I tool gold in my division.

[@andrecheongavocadojudo2114]

You could see the twinkle in a wrestlers' eyes when they go for their attacks. Great match!

[@grabbaloni]

Solid jiu jitsu, great technique.

[@chrismaks2518]

Nicely done. Get on top, stay on top.

[@58clips58]

Calm & collective is the way to go. A turtle is not fast but it sure does live long 🐢

[@MY-nc7lq]

02:29 There is a near-side armbar as a counter to your opponent's right hand collar grip.

[@antiheroi444]

That arm was fully extended 3 times in the fight, he take the last one

[@joseramos4537]

Man that was impressive 👏 your opponent was legit and you absolutely showed your level of skill was higher. Good job🤘

[@jesseebaez04]

In the arm bar, is it possible to try to grab his leg to prevent him from hitch hiking?

[@aaronwilbur9774]

Brother you had so many back step passes open to you

[@aaronwilbur9774]

That being said tournements are hell and you did great!

[@DuckDonald44]

why would a blue belt have instructional's?

[@ape1022]

How is this an "instructional". He is just narrating his match and telling us what he did. What is wrong with that and why are you hating?

[@matbiatch]

Lol literally why

[@meowingtonz9108]

Was wondering the same thing 😅

[@harold1733]

Freedom of expression. You dont have to watch it. Its kind of cowardly to talk smack over the internet and have no content of your own or something constructive to offer.

[@DuckDonald44]

@@harold1733 Freedom of speech too right? You put yourself out there, you have to put your big boy pants on and risk criticism.

[@brunolucas7636]

Good job, congrats man!

[@bigbenpbr]

This blue belt is giving away all of the answers... FOR FREE!

[@chrisfrank8413]

Love it. Thank you.

[@slickdanger_]

Felt like the arm bar was there during the baseball attempt

[@kanzeso]

Very cool. Thanks.

[@ashash5186]

Blue belt advice???

[@oceandojo]

Nice! Very good voice over, too. Love how you describe the set up. Shut 'em down pretty quick!🔥

[@ivanramirez287]

Great video!!!!

[@chrisgaffney7265]

Very nice.. your game is polishing up nicely

[@Slamminbassplayer]

Tough opp! Squirrely AF!

[@MoonsaultMadLad]

Soooo tiring when you get guys that just won't settle! He showed a lot of control and patience in this vid

[@francescorampazzo5587]

is it time for purple?

[@megoblks]

Not without a good closed guard it isnt

[@raymondc8156]

Was this at Revolution in Puyallup? I recognize the building

[@LongLiveTheUSA959]

Yes it is.

[@HatredPrime]

Try over under, that's most draining passing technique ever and his hips are pinned by your weight.

[@TacticalAshiGaramiTV]

Awesome movement subbed.

[@MannyC-w8r]

Blue, using his feet to break your grip standing up, was pretty cool but wasted so much energy.

[@kananisha]

that was a nice Uki Waza

[@gminorcoles]

Playing open is fine but in the gi you had a lot of opportunities to close the space and pressure him but great blue belt game you look like a purple

[@scottgomes7485]

Great video

[@nuninhojiujitsu]

Good job bro

[@me-217]

Hey if your ever in the tri cities check out Siri BJJ in Pasco (or Kennewick)

You WERE the aggressive opponent. I dont get it

[@maximepigeonpigeon2572]

good stuff.

[@rogeriodaniel2845]

Dude, is the white Gi guy you? Congratulations, and my respect! Your are a genious, and very technical, dominant ... BJJ is your main skill, if you wanna have another job on your life, make it only half time job!

[@Carsahh]

Appreciate the kind words man! There is no other job, just jiujitsu 🥹

[@diegomagallanes8918]

What's the age difference??

[@jdoe4275]

2:38 You never closed guard.

[@MikhailNietzsche]

I just cant pay attention to a blue belt, you need to put in more time

[@Carsahh]

Ayo this comment is fuckin wild 😂

[@doobiemcfearson4646]

How much time have you put in bud? There’s been blue belts that beat black belts at a world class level. Stop being so fucking ignorant and realize that lower belts can be equally proficient by putting the time in to become good at the sport. Your arrogance and unwillingness to learn from people because of their belt rank is going to be the very reason you never reach a high level.

[@RAnderson-g4v]

You’re a blue belt bro. Watch this again I a few years if you’re still training.

[@tyywithrow]

Bruh. Tons of haters. Sheeeeesh.

[@studiomonster-c9l]

You guys are so dumb when you put down “aggressive” opponents.

[@josephcokermusic]

If you don’t roll like a psycho at blue belt were you ever really a blue belt?

[@shihonage]

Dude's clearly a purple belt or higher. He's sandbagging AF.

[@BadMagic6]

@@shihonagehas his own instructional as a blue belt? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@shihonage]

@@BadMagic6 yeah that's what I mean. You don't make instructional anything at blue belt. This dude isn't a blue belt.

[@KosRoss]

The range of skill at blue belt is really wide, and from what I’ve seen here and in other competition footage he’s really that - a solid blue belt. In Europe and US it’s common to get blue belt in 1.5 year and then purple after another 4 years. Where I come from you don’t get blue that easily, it’s 2.5 years at minimum and you need to be real deal. And then it goes forever to get to purple.

[@BadMagic6]

@@KosRoss he is obviously from the US?

[@brysonhays5740]

Is there any way I can receive any royalties from getting my ass best on KZbin? (Wasn’t ever a wrestler!) I’ll see you in another match soon! ⚔️

[@Carsahh]

haha tell you what if you beat me next time I'll give you all the adsense off the video lol good match though man looking forward to our next one!

[@shihonage]

You're clearly not a blue belt. Are you sandbagging?

[@franciscogodo]

Is just a good blue belt

[@JVlife22]

Why can’t he be a blue belt? smh! Kid is nice with it. No one can ever say something nice always gotta have these clowns with there negative views. You must be a spazzy a white belt, if!

[@shihonage]

@@franciscogodo What kind of blue belt feels arrogant enough to "make instructionals?" I never see anyone do that unless they're at least purple. This sandbagger isn't fooling anyone.

[@Carsahh]

Brother I look pretty good in this clip but let me go with a 10p Vegas purple and they’ll make me look like a child lol

[@jereviga]

You did good job. But I don’t think he was aggressive as you talk on this video. Anyway, good job in your BJJ 👏👏👏

[@philo-aletheia]

Excellent match.

[@jacobshepard9387]

Yeah wasting all your energy to be quick with wrestling in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and try to use all of your aggression to take someone down will not make you improve and make you end loosing every Brazilian jiu-jitsu match it's better to stay calm and focused while doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu to win a fight.

guy was not aggressive, that is how anyone fight in BJJ ( even when yoou only roll). title is misleading and is used to make money, that is it.

[@jgn2112]

Iknowrite!? This blue belt has no right to narrate a video of his own match. Only black belts can narrate videos. I know what I'm talking about. I post on sherdog all the time. /s

[@andrewc3180]

Good Job, I always root for the guy trying to do actual Jiu Jitsu and not constantly stand up all the time. That weak wrestling stuff is just stalling and a cop out for people with weak bottom games.

[@vibovitold]

takedowns are important and regretfully neglected in BJJ (I'm guilty of that as well), but futile standup struggles with both competitors just pulling and pushing eachother for minutes on end are indeed a form of stalling. if noone can get a takedown, just pull guard.

[@bonsuer1]

the other dude just knew his guard was shit

[@oscarbarajas4521]

I get it different generation. Attention and validation is important. But blue belts making videos now? I do have to say some good points and some good technical moves. But yea you’re a blue belt.

So you don’t get it 😂

[@MrRex2010]

Extremely misleading content. What was so aggressive about this guy??? I’m out.! Fool me once. But not twice. Will not watch another video by this guy. ✌️

[@MrRex2010]

Ohh. And no extra aggression and certainly no punishment. ✌️

[@joehiggs4349]

Judging by his reflexive air of authority way before his time and how impressed he is with himself, I bet Carson’s parents didn’t spank him and used an affirmational style of parenting. Just a guess.

[@felipesimone1165]

don't waste your time watching this video
