@@Chewjitsu I'm gonna piggyback off this and take advantage of (hopefully) some visibility. Can you do a video on the importance of self-education in BJJ? Maybe you already covered this. Many schools seem to teach techniques as a flavor-of-the-week or maybe even the day. So it's left to the students to try to piece it all together. What's the best way to fill in the gaps and get more practice in if there is only one or no open mats around you?

I think a lot of people feel like that. When you get your next belt, you’re always concerned that you can’t live up to the expectation. Then one day you realize and accept that you’re a blue, purple, etc. Don’t worry about the belt. Someone told me that if you keep training you’ll eventually be a black belt. So just focus on continuing to train.

This is basically the same analogy I tell people about the Jiu-Jitsu journey. Here are the cliff notes from my "what is Jiu-Jitsu like, and what can I expect?" talk. White belt= infant, you will spend lots of time laying on the mat staring at the ceiling and taking unplanned naps. (joking about the naps, just tap!) Blue belt= toddler/grade schooler, you stumble and fall a lot. You find everything interesting and challenging at the same time. Purple belt= middle school/ High school, You got this! Most stuff comes easy but life still piles on some hard lessons and you realize there is lots yet to learn. But you are finding your niche. Brown belt= college/higher learning, You found your path (maybe) and you have the drive and the tools to take on most anything thrown at you ( with some help from seniors). Black belt= Adulting, This is very easy and way hard at the same time, you can change your path at will and can handle any challenge with confidence and grace. When people say Jiu-Jitsu is life, they are true. The journey parallels real life very well.

I don't really like the belt system and I think it does more harm than good, but my recommendation to every white belt is above all to learn the basics. I mean - can you shrimp properly ? are you relaxed while rolling, can you even breath correctly ? Do you know how to mount and grip ? For me Bjj is like a language and those stuff(and many more)are like its alphabet. You cannot learn to make words and complete sentences without knowing the letters first.

So, I’m going for my first BJJ class later today 👀 update 1. 1 word = difficult. I’ve been in many street fights so thought I might be better than some white belts > I got smashed. Probably tapped 20/25 times. But now I want to do it more than I did before.

[@Deocto]

How was it? I started a month ago. My gym won't let me roll until I have 30 classes under my belt, but I'm digging it. When you find something that works really well, it's a cool sensation. It really is like a super power.

[@Adam-AK47]

Deocto mate, I just got home from it about half an hour ago. If I was to describe it in one word, difficult. I went in thinking I might be better than some white belts (because I’ve had many street fights and messed out with some friends before with grappling) but I was literally the worst in there and I probably got tapped around 20/25 times by different people during rolls. I’ve never been smashed like that in my life and now I want to get better a lot more than before I took this first lesson. P.S the skin on the back of a few of my fingers has started to scrape off 🤦‍♂️.

[@Deocto]

@@Adam-AK47 damn. I've been waiting to get that stripe so I can roll (any day now), but hearing your experience makes me think I just want to stick to drilling. LOL. Awesome dude. Welcome to the path. I feel you about thinking you'll have a knack for it. I'm athletic, with a solid fighting background. BJJ is super nuanced. The difference between an arm bar being an arm bar, or being nothing might be something as minute as a wrist being rotated 20 degrees (thumb up!) or your knees aren't pinched together. They teach these simple moves, and after 50 drills I'm still not checking all the boxes. It's like the proprioception I thought I had is non-existent. But when everything clicks, it's sweet. Good luck. Tap early and often.

This is a problem I’m encountering - I moved to a remote country area in Australia (for family reasons) as a purple belt. I came from a great gym with lots of higher belts to train with. I was faced with a problem when I moved - either stop training because there was no where to train, or create somewhere to train. I love teaching but often it can be information overload as I’m constantly looking for solutions and solving problems for my students. I sometimes feel my own game suffers, but overall my knowledge base has gotten better, and I find I’m trying things I never would have (before I started teaching), because I’m always looking at things to make my students game better, and by extension my own game

[@Chewjitsu]

Why not start teaching a special class where you teach advanced stuff you want to work on? Then have the more basic classes for your team.

[@jessemillar2293]

Chewjitsu, thanks heaps for the reply. that’s something I have considered. I’m currently doing 3 adults classes a week. Next year I’ll likely look at doing an extra class, likely called a fundamentals class, which would then free up my other classes to teach more advanced stuff. By then, some of my guys who are currently sitting between 1 to 3 stripes will be needing to expand their game much more. I’ve got a couple of guys already at 2 and 3 stripes and we often work on some more advanced stuff during our open mat session which is really useful (for both of us). It’s a bit of a juggling act - making sure my new guys are getting good amount of fundamentals while guys who are progressing are getting more exposure to advanced techniques. I try to travel up to see my coach (2nd degree black belt who lives 2 hours away) as often as possible too which is great when I’m there

Was a white belt and got a stripe, but there was little for me to work on with other students in the class, this made me feel I needed to work on a higher belt, but it seemed like there was no place to set a goal to get that done in good time. And BJJ is not a cheap sport to be in so this let me down a little. Might be a little ego to be said, but I did not have the time/money/goal for me to set that dream up.

I am mainly a Gi guy but I do like No Gi. For me, No Gi seems more dynamic, athletic, slick and, in some ways, more fun. There seems to be a lot more motion, less holding in static positions, lot more transitions. It definitely seems like a lot more wrestling and, I believe, wrestlers seems to especially thrive in No Gi. Then, there is the leg attack game... a whole new universe in itself... crazy effective, scary and fun. I think, someone like you might thrive in No Gi and frankly get addicted, lol. Check it out man and best of luck. BTW, at some point, people argue that going back to Gi helps the No Gi game again, lol.

That's too bad. I'm injury prone myself. The gym I've joined won't let white belts roll until they've practiced for 30 sessions. How's your diet? High inflammation is a huge part part of injuries and healing, and I've noticed massive improvement by doing overa fitness workouts (Spartacus, specifically) and eating better.

I wont shoot a drunk in the face or pull any other garbage move like that..... Like I said, I have been doing other martial arts my whole life and have been around guns just as long. My dad was a Kenpo instructor. The big problem I have is I live in a smallish town with two gyms. I started at one and there was a guy (blue belt) who was just intentionally trying to hurt me. Dragged me around the gym trying to set an arm bar I wasnt giving him and even dragged me off the mat, in a half set arm bar and rammed my head into the base of a basketball standard. I think I had been there maybe a month, and it was always something with this guy. I really have never seen anything like it in a martial arts setting, where the instructors were just ok with higher level people hurting lower level. So, I went to the other gym and withing 2 months I had cracked ribs, a torn labrum, and I am waiting for an MRI for my other shoulder. The cracked ribs were from drilling!!!! Not even rolling, and it was done by a guy who was "an instructor who isnt an employee". I dont even know WTF that means! Haha. I mean, oh well, I cant learn Jiu Jitsu, and I know that other people have way different and positive experiences..... I just left pissed off that I was injured.... Again. Anyway.

I'm 36 and work a blue collar job. Though I look forward to competing, I do not want to get hurt and can't miss work. My gym has more kids and women in it than men, and everyone is super nice. Sometimes too nice. I'm trying to drill with intense focus, and they kind of want to sit and bullshit between reps. Sounds like I need a happy medium between what you've found and what I got.

I was referring to "Eddie will get smashed" .... That's not what two students of this realm would be talking about....

[@mastaangler7055]

But when you get flipped on a Judo, explain Rolling better. Dont get belts twisted. Some people have training elsewhere.

Very helpfull, thanks a lot

I still live at home, is that why I'm still a blue belt?

[@tunesfromthebeardedman]

I've grappled for ten years. There was no BJJ in my hometown. Now there is. Really funny to wear a white belt and start from scratch. So yeah I'm a white belt...........

[@yesete777]

We have a guy at our gym who got his blue belt last week, so he's got like 2 years of bjj but he was a high level collegiate wrestler and he's able to beat brown and black belts about half the time just with wrestling and a killer hug choke

Good Morning Professor. Professor , what are your thoughts about martial arts falling into the wrong hands? I know its very rare, but there are those who learn martial arts for the wrong reasons. Some people learn martial arts primarily to pick fights and beat people up for fun. Even though it's rare, it does happen. Please tell me your thoughts professor.

today they are average purple today is afraid to do takedowns or pass guard no gi lol they try to fall back playing footsies i really dislike how bjj mindset is the past few years look at purples a decade ago they were tough guys who also fought mma generally
