The Rules of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) - EXPLAINED!

[@NinhLyUK]

Ninh explains the Rules of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. To my many fans, I appreciate the suggestions and I'm sorry it took a while to make. But I got there in the end. Be sure to help me out by sharing this video where you can :) EDIT: Minor oversight - BJJ is derived from Judo, which itself is derived from Ju Jitsu. There are some seriously whiny bitches out there who really should calm the hell down.

[@J.Kuhn2025]

Takedown- 2pts Sweep- 2pts Passing the guard- 3pts Knee on belly- 2pts Mount and rear mount (back control)- 4pts Hope this helps

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, well summarised.

[@hithere2602]

When you sweep and take mount you get all points. (6)

[@ElFahado69]

why did you copy my profile picture

[@Subar_Sama]

as a bjj practitioner, i strongly recommend everybody starting practicing it, because it's a nice way of getting fit, learning how to fight, making new friends and learning to push your limits further

[@IronMartialArts]

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, I can attest that this is an excellent martial art. Really tough to master though.

[@Subar_Sama]

@@NinhLyUK but it's worth the effort, believe me ;)

[@Omoplataha]

As a former BJJ practitioner I agree. Did for a few years until i hurt my neck (strained it badly during no-gi takedown practice). Tried it afterwards but did not feel confident and was semi-afraid that I might hurt my neck more. Still lose feeling on my arm if sleep on a awkwardly and have some bad neck jams from time to time. Looking back I did way less stretching that I should have done and in my gym we only trained in the sport for a hour and a half and that was it(warmup,technique and spar) . Should have done with my body and strengthen my neck. Not just train...

[@everydaysoopsaaah]

Practice with Gi or no Gi? Everybody hates this question

Congrats on your main channel's 100th video, Ninh! As of me typing this, I haven't even watched the video yet. I'm sure it will be great though, because you are the king of explaining the rules of sports (and self-help, of course!) I often watch your videos while eating crisps at night before I go to bed. I'll keep the comments coming and wait for your replies, because, as you explained to me in an earlier video, it boosts the interaction ratings and makes your videos more visible. Cheers! Update: Watched it. It was great, but that was to be expected. ;-)

[@64imma]

Very well explained. I was practicing jujitsu for about a year and a half, and I definitely miss it now that I've moved and now all the dojos are closed. I quit going for a while because I let a relationship and work take control of my life and free time. That was a mistake, because after I took that brief hiatus, it was very hard to get back into the swing of things.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, exactly. This is a tough discipline, but you'll get your form back so long as you remain injury free.

[@64imma]

@@NinhLyUK I found BJJ in a time when I was struggling to have purpose and meaning in my life. I was working just enough to cover basic expenses, and I had just switched programs at my university, and had to take classes that were very easy and required minimal effort. That's when I met a husband and wife bjj owners, because they came into my work one day and I asked to start going to their school. After a few months of going, I suddenly start going less frequently and eventually decided to take a hiatus. I had quit to make more time for my new girlfriend (who wasn't too interested in going), and I was also picking up more hours at my job. Not only that, but the lessons were becoming very expensive. After a couple months months off, I tried multiple times to get back into it, but I struggled to stay committed. Now that I have a better income, and a relatively more consistent work schedule, I hope to start going again.

[@NinhLyUK]

Godspeed bro, I feel your struggle!

Speaking about Brazilian sports, I recently attended an Capoeira class and a loved it! While it is somewhat of a unique martial art, a video on capoeira would be awesome!

[@NinhLyUK]

Interesting concept. I used to do capoiera. It's a cool martial art and the demos are pretty neat. The competitions however are a little dry and it'd be hard to explain and make it interesting at the same time. I'll consider it for sure.

[@DanTheCaptain]

@@NinhLyUK Yes, after you mentioned it, I can see the complexity of the task of explaining Capoeira in a 4-6 Minute video. I think this mainly comes down to the fact that it is a very "diverse" sport because of the many varying forms of play. But, yeah a video on this sport would be awesome!

I personally find it a trevestie, that a reverse from side control, doesn't count as a sweep. I mean, I get that a sweep hast to be started from a guard position, yet, if I reverse from side control, I massively improve my position and advance from defense to offense. Should be 2 points as well.

Any former wrestlers tried jui jitsu? Thinking about giving it a try

I think your skills would be very transferable. I'd say give it a go - you never know, you might be a future world champion in training!

[@jeefsquaa]

I started with nogi bjj then moved to wrestling then to the gi. Wrestling will help your jitsu and jitsu helps your wrestling. I recommend jiu jitsu to most people. 80 percent of people would like it if they gave it a try

[@hithere2602]

Jiu Jitsu is good because once you get them on the ground you can submit them and actually do damage as opposed to keeping them pinned

[@nitrox1613]

Wow the scoring rules are actually similar to wrestling surprisingly

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, exactly.

[@d1namis]

I like this video but it need couple more thinks. 1) Heel lock should be explained more detailed, because it's a huge problem and comes with lot's of misconception and repetitive reason for DQ. 2) BJJ is root from Judo, not Jiu Jitsu, Jiu Jitsu in name is come from the similar competitive system with scores, basically BJJ is a major tweaking of Judo ground combat. And Judo have root's in Japanese JJ. But difference in JJ and BJJ is huge and can be noticeable immediately. 3) 3:24 it's Anaconda choke, while RNC comes neatly around neck.

[@NinhLyUK]

This is a beginners video. Clearly if you knew all of that, you didn't need to watch it.

[@Leon-cd1iy]

So does going from half guard to side control score points?

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

Half guard - also known as “snuggling”.

[@NinhLyUK]

Man, you have a funny way of looking at things?

[@likolagi]

I wouldn't say that submissions are done to cause the opponent excessive pain. Some may be, but that's not the whole truth.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes and no. Obviously you have to cause pain in order for them to submit. Whether it's done maliciously or not is up for debate.

[@likolagi]

@@NinhLyUK Do chokes hurt? Maybe, but i would say they are done to put the opponent to sleep. When it comes to armbars etc jointlocks you could say that pain is the motive. Anywayyysss thanks for the video!
