Im 34 and 140 lbs. I am 5 months in bjj and just want to say your style is inspirational for us smaller / older guys.

[@Jitsover50]

I am 175 but my teachers were all "smaller guys". Thank you! Thank you for tuning in!

[@biggooba6706]

this guy isnt small

[@aaroncarr7309]

These vids where you talk through both techniques and what’s on your mind at the time are the most helpful resource I’ve come across. Thanks again!!

[@Jitsover50]

Glad you like them!

[@DiamondScientific]

Thank you, appreciate the breakdown of the moves. Started GB BJJ last year st 69, now 4 stripe WB, I'll be 70 in November. Big fan of your channel! Thank you sir.

[@Jitsover50]

Wow that’s great to hear! An inspiration. Thank you for watching

[@KungFuCooter]

I just discovered your channel today. I'm 51 and just started Jiu-Jitsu this year. I've trained in Taekwondo since I was 12 and the ground is so difficult to master. I'm really enjoying listening to you disect your rolls.

[@tevon681]

I'm 23 and have been training grappling since middle school. I'm hesitant to start training boxing or kickboxing, is striking easier to get a basic understanding of compared to grappling? Everyone seems to say so.

[@Jitsover50]

I trained TKD for 3 years as a youth. I still talk to my instructor. Thank you for tuning in! I switched from striking arts as well. It was a tough transition for me as well!

[@Jitsover50]

Striking is easier to learn. Grappling is hard but rewarding. I love knowing I can win with just my brain. @@tevon681

[@JB-vc5re]

I’m 53 and rolling on and off for a year due to injuries. Love your videos. Keep up the great work

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! Just let them heal and train when you can. I missed 4 years due to separate injuries.

Thank you again Sumo Steve! Great name btw. From what does that derive?

[@sumo_steve45]

@Jitsover50 I just love the patience that you show while rolling and how your commentary goes step by step. I've been sharing your videos with some of our students locally (Florida) and they all say pretty much the same thing - "You guys both do the same thing, roll and teach at the same time." and I just love it. Much respect my Brother.

[@Jitsover50]

That is so great to hear! I would love to swing by one of these days. Where in Florida?@@sumo_steve45

[@sumo_steve45]

@Jitsover50 I am a motorcycle guy and have ridden a supermoto for a long long time - used to be "SUMORYDR" but the guys at the racetrack took to just calling me "Sumo" so when Facebook came along I was/am Sumo Steve

[@Jitsover50]

Okay so no living in Japan and being 400 pounds? lol. Very cool sir@@sumo_steve45

[@deweyck6820]

Thanks for sharing the rolls, started rolling more seriously this year at 37 as a white belt, and watching these really giving more to actively think about when I roll.

[@Jitsover50]

That is great to hear. I love knowing these videos are helping people. Especially white belts!

[@mattb9299]

Man, I'd love to roll with you. I'm a blue belt with a very similar style.

[@Jitsover50]

A similar style to me?

[@PoloLoneDragon]

Very smooth!

Hey man love your channel. I am also a younger white belt who has been training 7 months as well so this video is extra interesting for me!

You must mean Scott the white belt. Lol

[@jakegoode4176]

Been watching a few of your vids, it’s been quite insightful especially the two on one grips you do often. Any other grips you look for?

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! I prefer to grab ankles and knees or wrists an elbows. I use joystick grips on sleeve and pant legs

[@robbert7599]

hey amigo, great vid as usual with your dope vibes. also, that pass out of half was beautiful with the guillotine attempt to the kimura grip. anyway, what's your gym's policy on leglocks? ive been rolling with a seasoned purple belt who is wanting to delve into the leglock world, and i think he's getting frustrated at just how vulnerable he is anytime im passing his guard, as im snatching up an easy straight ankle lock since he doesn't play DLR/X/lasso/spider/etc. ive seen in some of your past vids that you play DLR quite often, but other than that you guys have a very similar bottom game. does he just need to stop leaving his legs out there when im passing? i don't want to lose him as a training partner bc he's a great guy, a lot like you, but i also don't want to discourage him by always finding his ankle/heel/knee

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! My gym is very open with everything. I don't think anything is banned. I come from Marcelo Garcia which went by IBJJF rules. I think it was no heel hooks until brown or black. So my footlock game sucks. That being said my awareness of footlocks is much better than it used to be and I developed a pretty decent ankle lock. He clearly needs to make adjustments to his foot positioning. If I rolled with him I would only footlock him once a roll towards the end. Just to show him he needs to learn to stop it. He has to take agency over his Jiu-jitsu. I wouldn't foot lock him over and over just to win. Not to suggest that is happening with you. Great comment sir. Thank you

[@robbert7599]

@@Jitsover50 thanks for the thoughtful reply my friend. I usually snatch his leg every chance I get, but I don't lock it up for the finish I let go after a few seconds, this way I make him aware that if I wanted to be mean I could have held onto it and it also lets as roll longer instead of having to reset after a serious sub attack. keep up the great work🫡

[@Jitsover50]

Well that is a super cool way to handle it as well! Thank you and respect@@robbert7599

[@sticksandbeats]

I'm almost 60 and would love to start BJJ, but am admittedly scared due to my age (and rolling against those youngsters). What are your thoughts on starting this late, yes, no, maybe? Any advice is appreciated. Btw, awesome channel, so glad I found it.

[@Jitsover50]

A good question! I think it would be really tough. You would have to already have a certain level of fitness. You would also need to find a school that is somewhat sympathetic to older training partners. A school that has a lot of over 40 students who understand the fragility that comes with age. My instructor is 60. btw.

[@kyle52245]

I would also be selective with your training partners. White belts are always the most dangerous to roll with because they can be wild and unpredictable. If it's a decent school they should be fine with you telling people "no, I'm just going to sit this round out". Focus on drilling to get comfortable and roll with colored belts (as long as they aren't crazy competition guys). "Art of skill" is another good channel to check out

[@Jitsover50]

Yes love that channel! @@kyle52245

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

I hate it when strong guys shut down and stop moving. They're too strong to force into positions, so waiting for them to screw up in usually the easiest way to deal with them. But they can't screw up if they don't move.

[@Jitsover50]

Yes but then you just contain. It is. It a win for them. In a real fight you would be punching and he would have to move.

[@bishopsriseandroll]

Great technique against his athleticism 👏🏻👏🏻

[@greekpimp77]

What do YOU suggest on dealing with guys who are 75 pounds heavier than you??

[@Jitsover50]

Stay out from under them. lol. That weight difference is tough to deal with. A simple answer would be stay mobile and transitional. Don't look for closed guard if you can't get your legs around.
