I lift weights 6 days a week and like to think I'm pretty strong . My 2nd day of jiu jitsu, I feel like a fish out of water...

[@johnnycage2746]

Yeah, it humbles you when smaller people handle you . It humbles you even more when the big ones handle you with skill.

[@lphieshake]

Same situation here, humbling experience. Only shows how much you have to learn and all the weak areas you have the opportunity to improve on to supplement your lifting.

[@johnnycage2746]

@@lphieshake I stopped lifting after I started training jiujitsu. down to 3 days a week. Would rather train 6 days a week. I found the grind of numbers and PRs to be pointless and absolutely boring

[@yoma2977]

@@johnnycage2746 I think hitting PRs with lifting is exciting cuz there's obviously a direct correlation with explosive strength when it comes to lifts like sumo deads and cleans

[@jedidoesjiujitsu3177]

Appreciate those words!

Thank you for creating this channel, I am a martial artist of over 30 years, butI finally decided to go down the BJJ path, as a 50 year old I am not going to lie I was a bit apprehensive about this but couldn't resist the pull after watching my teenage son training and rolling. I love the tips you provide as well as other mental aspects of learning this beautiful art. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love your humility, sense of humor and technicality. I have let go of my ego and enjoy learning from getting smashed and tapping.

[@coltonglass697]

Hey man, thank you so much for all this information, I just finished my 4th BJJ class tonight and have been wondering what I should be working on outside of class so thank you so much, you’re content is truly helping me

[@robfraser33]

I love this video. I am a starting white belt and because of my business and family obligations, have to miss a couple weeks. These drills will allow me to keep "practicing" while getting better at those basics! Thank you!

[@947mikep1]

Thanks so much Jedi. Being 20 years since I last tried BJJ and having just got back into it, these drills seems like the prefect way to make it fee natural again. Awesome video!

[@ac2jones]

Jedi thank you for your time and dedication to these videos. Between you, Bernardo Faria and John Danaher videos there is an absolute wealth of knowledge. Thank you!

I’m starting jiu jitsu next week and I have been binging all of your videos. Thank you for some of the most informative and interesting content in the jiu jitsu realm of KZbin.

[@user-mh6lj3ox8b]

hello, i am a young bjj fighter who was put in at a young age and trained for 9 years. I've been out of the gym for a few years and i still understand so many foundational things but your channel has been so helpful in regaining my knowledge.

[@frasers1807]

Dude thank you. This is so helpful its unreal. I have just started at the Roger Gracie Academy, London and am a #1 stripe White Belt. Coming from a fairly successful life long Boxing/Kickboxing back ground with plenty of silver ware, I now find myself in a combat sport that I don't know my ass from my elbow and am continually gasing out, as I am still in striking mode and on top of that, have no BJJ repertoire to go to either. These drill are great and your other videos, 5 Moves for White Belts is also super helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@Darlansk8]

I do BJJ for about 20 years and I really think yours videos are very useful, thanks a lot for these great stuffs!!

hey Jedi i took a year off BJJ, back here reviewing warm ups i can do at home before i jump back into the acedemy. Thanks again for these great videos.

[@ZebaKhansez]

Thank you! I’m really grateful for these at-home drills. I’m new to bjj and martial arts in general, so I need all the solo practice I can get between classes.

Simple solo drills to get started, love it. Thank you

[@jeremycompean1309]

Awesome teacher! Simple, clear, understandable. Thank you.

[@mach5jeep]

I wasn't sure what I was going to find when i clicked on this but I have to admit these were all pretty solid. Reminds me of 30 years ago and my first Judo class. They opened by saying "Today we're going to learn how to fall down" I laughed but then learned I didn't know how to fall down "correctly" These also might be good drills/warm up for us guys over 40 years old.

[@kromeknifemind]

Solid demonstration! I love your positive attitude! Thank you!

[@emilyhops2566]

This is just the perfect video for me, i went to the gym today to try some warmup practising and didnt really know what i was doing, now i've got a fighting chance!

[@akieyu1856]

I came back to JuJitsu after 21 years of doing absolutely no JuJitsu. I need to relearn how to move my body and not use to much energy. But it is easier for me to digest all the information in the class in real time. At the time we didn’t have all these youtube videos. It helps me to sleep and teach the move to my body. Thank you for your channel it helps a lot

[@elevatedxconscience]

I'm 2 weeks in classes and I'm so glad I used to breakdance in highschool. Alot of these movements feel natural for me. I have so much more to learn. I'm looking forward to using my breakdance background to help speed up some learning.

[@hakunamatata-w3873]

I have a decent grip, and good strength atleast that's what I have been told by those i did Jiu-jitsu training with on my first day.. (My first day was two days ago). But my IQ on the ground and my grappling is low and really bad. I have just started doing Jiu-jitsu, do you have any tips to how I could improve?

[@vanjitsulife]

Congrats on starting your BJJ journey! That is awesome. I had a friend with a background in break dance and it really did help with his movement on the mat.

[@traceygresham6845]

It’s funny cause a lot of this looks like breakdancing as does capoeira and these warmup drills. Historically, this all checks out lol.

[@johnjacobs9753]

@@traceygresham6845 Indeed! I just got serious into BJJ, but I have 20 years in Capoeira and I’m the rank of Professor. These movements feel very natural to me as well. The technical stand up is basically one of the many variations of “negativa” in Capoeira, so it came very easily.

[@Beuwbz]

Every single video on this channel is fire . Super helpful.

[@axwack]

Hey man. Keep making more videos. I started off watching you on YT and now have watched almost thousands of other dudes doing BJJ. You have great fundamentals and awesome tactical experience.

Great vid! And yes, some stuff feels so off. I have an athletic background. All the pee wee sports, wrestled a bit in school, and a few summer camps through the rec department. Heavy skateboarder, and held a lot of backyard fights with our friends and other "clicks" growing up. I'm on my second month in BJJ, and yeah. I'm decent for being so early, but I get to a spot where, I just feel stuck. Not sure where to move from there. Or just getting frustrated my hips won't move "here", or my leg gets trapped "there" thanks for the stuff, we do these most every class!
