Tips for rolling with women in jiu jitsu!

My tip for rolling with women: Avoid it!

[@Aseerdoesjuijitsu]

And if someone do actually bump you or touch you by a accident during rolling you got to remember this is a grappling martial art like sometimes I get hit in the balls every once in a while

[@frozenkilt]

This is a great video because I don't know why so many other people seem make it so weird rolling with women. Watch your hands a little more and more or less match the power output and don't just use bodyweigh to smash them, which isn't a ton different from rolling with teenaged boys. In general, I tell them that they can go for it and I'll keep myself from getting hurt. And I find the majority of the women I've met in BJJ are pretty aware of the fact that you're literally wrapped in as close physical contact as you can manage with someone you're not in a relationship with and they're understanding of the potential of suboptimal hand positioning during a roll.

Love all of the vids have been very helpful

[@oliviermeurou3663]

Only roll with your wife !

[@WpnsCo2013OEF]

Bro, you saying women aren't physically the same as us !?!?!? Triggered.

[@Big_booty_bandit]

Men are physically stronger faster more durable and have higher endurance although this might be satire

[@E_A_00000]

As a woman in BJJ and one of few at my gym, I think this is a good discussion, and I agree with other comments that say roll with women like you would roll with anybody smaller/lighter than you - don't use full strength, don't just flatten us with body weight if you're 50+ lbs heavier, keep it very technical. As it's been said, match her energy, just like you would with anyone else. And yeah, keep it professional with where you place your hands and things but we understand accidents happen, it's not a big deal and it's not awkward if you don't make it awkward. What I don't like is when I can FEEL someone going super easy, treating me like I'm fragile. I want to be challenged, I want to get better, and like Matt said, I know what I've signed up for. I'm there for the same reasons as everybody else. It's really annoying having to prove over and over again that I can handle challenging rolls, and that I'm not going to shatter into pieces just because you did a proper takedown or actually put a little pressure in side control. We can tell when you're going too easy, and we can tell when you're doing it just because we're women. Especially when it comes from someone with the same or less experience, it's frustrating and it makes me feel like the men don't take me seriously. I can't improve if you don't try when you roll with me. And then there's the other side, the men who go way too hard because their ego's can't handle the possibility of being beat by a woman. They roll like they're actually trying to kill me, but against men the same size as me they energy match like normal. I find out very quickly who those men are and I avoid them at the gym. I'm not going to get injured just because you're too insecure to have an actual productive roll with me. There is a third type of man not mentioned in this video, and that's the men who constantly stop the roll to "give advice" and mansplain something to me that I already know. Usually happens just as I get into a dominant position, and usually something generic that's not helpful at all. Something like "yeah now try and take the back!" as I'm literally with seatbelt grip and hooks and 2 seconds from pulling him out of turtle, acting like it was his idea the whole time for me to do what I was already doing. I think this is also an ego thing, because they want to feel like they're letting me get these dominant positions instead of admitting that I earned them. Anyways that's my essay on this topic that's obviously very close to me. Roll and drill with women like you would with anybody with a weight difference, match her energy, literally just treat her like a normal person and you'll be fine.

[@user-xs8yc2mz8n]

I agree with you except the mansplaining thing. From my experience people who stop to explain mid roll do it to men too. Most of the time because they're insecure about their level

[@Mithrandir69]

​@@user-xs8yc2mz8nThis is 100% true. If I stop a roll to explain something, I restart in that exact spot. But most times, you can wait until the round is done to adress whatever it is.

[@wojciechsawicki4733]

Are there really any people doing the 3rd thing? This has to suck

[@johnnyvo9313]

Go make me a sandwich

[@elgreco998]

I just don’t understand what you want then. Not too easy, not too hard, but also treat you like a normal person who you would roll with at the same time. What? I also don’t know why you assume everyone is insecure. Most people go hard because they’re trying to get better. It’s also what you’ll get in a real fight

[@tylerprice508]

I do it the same way I do with someone with a drastic weight difference and just increase or decrease the percentage based on how easy or difficult it is to move

[@asadullah23200]

It’s a lot less complicated to just roll with guys. Keep in mind less than a 100 years ago this conversation would be taboo, even some christians who would refuse to touch strange women. Muslims today still believe you only have the right to touch women who you are married to / are already family, since thats what God commands

[@ahmed69691]

Lol…. Thank God Im in an all men BJJ gym Don’t have to worry about all of that

[@uammm]

Cool advices

[@mariovaldez2557]

I’m a blue belt and I admit that when I get to rolling I still don’t know where to start. Any advise would be helpful

[@scottyboy6269]

Tone it down to their level if they are lighter and weaker...goal should be to help them learn to deal with a bigger opponent, even rolling with teens and smaller people. Wanna roll hard? roll with the World of Warcraft fanboys that are doing BJJ to try and prove something to themselves.

[@evperry]

Yep

[@Thesavagesouls]

Yeah be a good rolling partner, but if they are cocky and try to go hard, well gives them what they want. Saw a video with a guy rolling like 70% with a girl that went full 100%. She ended up breaking the knee of the guy by doing a dangerous move.

[@danielpeaire1615]

Nobody can say it better than you just did- great videos!!!

[@ikrammaududi6205]

When the weight difference is too big, you really need to be careful or you can crush someone easily.

[@Mithrandir69]

We've got a mid-twenties female blue belt at our gym who is absolutely jacked. I'm a 48 year old 178lb purple belt who works out when he has time. She crushes most females and is a solid roll, but I could just manhandle her if I want. Neither of us get better at BJJ that way. Be self-aware and practice keeping the pace and physicality just enough to challenge her, and don't get butt-hurt when she subs you.

[@skilledharmish]

I was just wondering how awkward it would be to roll with women while watching such a video 🤣 Everyone one watching it will be like 📸📸 creep spotted 😆

[@sergiomarrerojr3730]

How is your course different from Robby D's Blue Belt Bible ? It seems to me that both of you are having very similar curriculum.

[@imortalghost6760]

I could never roll with a woman.I ll end up being to carefull with my hands and not performing well or i ll get called a creep.Nothing in between

[@wojciechsawicki4733]

You probably shouldn't with that attitude

[@elgreco998]

If a woman joins a mixed gender or male gym, she should be expected to get treated like everybody else. If she wants special treatment, she can join a women’s only gym.

Hold ur brute strength back and use just technique if they beat u they beat u they just have better tech when u remove ur strength from the equation

I agree with this video. Fantastic advocw

I don’t roll with women not because I won’t but because I’m a 6,5 230 14yr sooooooooo yeah only 16+. And coaches for me😊

[@deathdog1392]

1) don't touch them anywhere that could possibly be perceived as inappropriate to anyone. So no touching. 2) don't talk. Or get metooed. 3) don't make eye contact. 4) don't breath too heavily on then. 5) consider finding a new gym without any women.

When you're on bottom, turn your hands in so palms face your chest.

[@edmondlau511]

I let her set the pace and go from there is my method

[@grnttylr480]

I always roll with everyone the same force and pressure first. If I think they can do better with lighter pressure thats is what I will do next time we slap hands and bump fists. If we do technique I go much lighter so they can get their work in. The position of a woman's hips lets them clamp tighter in guards, armbars, triangles, so I try to avoid those positions with purpose against them. I have no shake being tapped out by a woman, but she will definitely earn it through skill and achievement... it will not be handed to her.

thank you, this is the perfect way to train with girls,they are very strong but is not in their nature to be rude, most of men can be rude even when is not in purpose .

[@stevebuczynski2756]

Excellent advice here sir, thank you. Btw, to all the men in these comments that are upset they can't manhandle women in their gym without backlash of some kind: y'all some creeps and you should probably just stay away from women in general 👍🏻

[@johnnyvo9313]

Rolling with women is the worst.

[@treeofrage7622]

I mean, as long as the guy is the same size as me, hes not going to crush me. You should just roll with people differently if they are smaller than you.

Yet they want equality
