I am a white belt and i felt I am being used as a training dummy all the time 😅. Hoping to start being able to give my sparring partners a bit of resistance.

I'd love to train under this guy. I've doing 4 bjj classes but we don't seem to go over basics as of yet

Same for me. First lesson was on spider guard and at the end we paired up for sparing starting in closed guard, I was so lost.

While you could learn take-downs from amazing wrestlers if you are training actual jiu-jitsu take downs are a huge part of it. Same with defending strikes. If you are training or teaching complete Jiu-jitsu both take-downs and strikes SHOULD always be part of it.

Professor Tom. Have been following your videos for some time now. You are a great instructor, due to the fact that you explain and breakdown the moves so well. I have learnt so much from your teaching. Looking forward to many more videos to come. P.S. Sorry to watch your video about your accident and injuries sustained. Resulting in you unable to train on the mat and create further instructional videos. Hope you get well soon and come back stronger than ever !!

What's the deal with bjj gyms where they have the most uncomfortable chairs for viewing

I weigh 120 lbs and am 5'2. I am a weak person in general. It's really hard for me to roll with bigger and taller people. My only chance to beat them is if they are new or they are going easy on me. I absolutely love BJJ! I am an adult so I can't always be rolling with kids my size. Due to these challenges, I don't have much motivation for it

Hang in there! Size is not a long term factor: only a short term challenge!

I am a 6’ 175 lb male 4-month white belt, and I get absolutely tooled by 140 lb blue belt females. Stick with it.

I'm a 5'2 guy, getting absolutely destroyed, hopefully it will eventually bear fruit.

With side mount, would you put your weight onto them, or let them carry on turning and hopefully have them expose the back?

Coach tom I have a question abt the rnc. When I apply it sometimes my partner says its a throat crush instead of a choke. I make a v shape around their neck and I pull my shoulders back and bring my elbows together. Do u know why its a throat crush sometimes?

Choke is a choke! Don’t worry

This is great, watching it at half speed helps, but man, it sounds like you are over half in the bag drunk at that speed, which also makes this not only super informative but also funny. win , win. Thank you for your great content.
