Rolling with Chris "the aggressive" White belt (Round 4)

[@ketovore1272]

it's cool that you show just how complicated understanding the minutia of a seemingly simple move can be--as a one-stripe white belt I know the feels!

[@Jitsover50]

I am so happy it helps. Hopefully you never get injured.

[@tomdestefano3573]

I'm 52 yo and started bjj six months in and I'm really enjoying it so far. My thirst for bjj knowledge is unquenchable but your videos have been a big help. I appreciate you and ask that you continue to create this wonderful content.

[@Jitsover50]

It must be really tough starting at our age. I hope my channel helps you increase your skill enough to grow without injury. The content will continue because of humans such as yourself. Thank you

[@genekim2043]

Coming from a new white belt, thank you for making these videos 🙏🏼

[@Jitsover50]

You are welcome! Stay safe brother

[@texasbornrefinerymade753]

I think he did what’s called a pistol squat. They’re popular in calisthenics

[@Jitsover50]

Yes! I used to do them 25 years ago. Lol.

[@dannsii1960]

Cool man! I used to think you were not tall, but now i think you're tall dude! Good vid!

[@Jitsover50]

Haha. I’m 6 feet tall. 173 pounds

[@dannsii1960]

@@Jitsover50 that is 1.82 meters in Mexico. It's a good number. I'm 1.73 so sad hahaha

[@DieselSC]

He did a pistol squat to get up which is very difficult.

[@Jitsover50]

100%!

[@KellyRhodes-n1k]

I’m a 40 year old new white belt, not very fast at learning, is there hope for me?

[@Jitsover50]

I started at 36 and was a bit of a slow learner myself. Now a days there are endless resources to facilitate learning. If I were you whenever I felt stuck I would look it up in a video. Learn fast and stay safe!

[@bulldod23]

Love your channel

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! Without people like you it wouldn't exist. Respect!

[@ImpulseMartialArts]

Good work.

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you!

[@locob3]

Omg there it looked like he threw the professor out of the screen 😂😂😂

[@Jitsover50]

haha. I know.

[@pauldorman1355]

I hope am in as half as good condition when am older awesome 👌

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you Paul. Respect.

[@Shaka_Garami]

Interested why you are locking the triangle on the neck side (hantai sankaku)? Seems overly complicated for a white belt who doesn't even know how to do the basic front triangle no?

[@Jitsover50]

That was what was being taught in class. This was not a beginner class. Though we have them at the academy.

[@Shaka_Garami]

@@Jitsover50 Gotcha, thanks for the reply

[@D4nB0161]

I’m a 2 stripe white belt, and been training 9 months. I like to Think I’m pretty chilled out when rolling especially with higher belts, but I find I then allow them just to abuse me 😂 I try and not frame harsh on there necks when in bottom side control etc but then just get smashed on the floor. Is this normal as I feel maybe me being too nice is affecting my Jits when I’m being pinned on the ground 😂 any advice? Love your videos too! I think there trying to choke me and I’m being to kind back 😂

[@Jitsover50]

Higher belts should respect that you are a white belt going easy and should return the favor. Many times when I roll with a white belt I could submit them 10 times in a round but I don't. I may never submit them. Since I am letting them work while sharpening my edge. Roger Gracie had no high level training partners when he opened his academy in London. Yet was still able to increase his skill just off white belts. Thank you for the support!

[@D4nB0161]

@@Jitsover50 yes some do. But I’d say most don’t. Maybe I’m too passive. Even with any submissions I don’t crank anything on quick I do it gradually and then they can try and escape it and the roll carries on. Then when I get in somebodys sub they just wack it on straight away. I think I’m trying to gauge if I need to be more aggressive to improve. Maybe aggressive isn’t the correct word but you get the gist 😂 keep up the top vids man 👏

[@Jitsover50]

I think you should NEVER crank on a submission. It shouldn't need a crank. lol. Keep doing what you are doing. In the early stages it will seem frustrating but down the line you will understand the move more deeply. IMO. @@D4nB0161

[@jonathanwahlin257]

What does he have on his feet, and why?

[@Jitsover50]

I don't know. I never thought about it. I will ask

[@kevinorr6880]

Socks with soles. Hmm

[@bujindork]

sanabul mma socks. I wear them also because the mats tear apart my feet and im on my feet all day at work. Im not letting 6 hrs on training a week make my 40 hr work more miserable.

[@Jitsover50]

Thank you! Yes mat burn is the worst though I never found it to be a problem at this academy! I am on my feet at work also btw @@bujindork

[@jonathanwahlin257]

@@bujindork thank you, Do they hinder your movement or anything like that?

[@NickShermanCreative]

Chris really looks like he's trying to feel it out in the roll. Looks like an improvement to me!

[@Jitsover50]

Yes!

[@jonesyfilms5115]

keeep doing what you do, im trying to learn right now as well, im not aggressive i actually have the opposite but it helps me learn as well though.

[@Jitsover50]

Sometimes students could be too passive as well. It’s a balance

[@Leonardo253015]

Chris is a bit pissed off or have a little bit of ego as well. he cant power through higher belts in BJJ, as he probably does with other white belts...

[@hole241]

I don’t like how mocking Chris has become a running thing on this channel, it’s mean spirited and doesn’t represent the community well.

[@Jitsover50]

I made 4 videos with him. He’s my friend and I never mocked him. I can’t control what people post

[@RYANDREYDUB]

Like do you ask these dudes if you can title these “aggressive” white belt? Kind of a dick move tbh, everyone started as a spazzy white belt and then learns over time when to use that gas tank and when to flow

[@Jitsover50]

That is the point of the videos to show our progress and help people improve their jits.

[@RYANDREYDUB]

So you do ask them before you title it and put it out to thousands of people?

[@Jitsover50]

@@RYANDREYDUB I used the term aggressive accurately not as an insult. No I don’t.

[@bloodsports94]

I didn't start as a spazzy white belt. I learned to be respectful and careful with everyone.
