When I started training, I heard the same things over and over. I’m 6’3” and 260lbs. When I was “accused” of using strength, I felt like saying I wasn’t even getting to the strength yet. Then I would back way off and the same peeps would come back at me 100% and rip subs and grind gi lapels across my neck and face. It was a weird place to be in. This is what I figured out by watching my coach. When I train, I comcentrate on keeping my face muscles relaxed. When I tense my face, it is 100% indicating I am using muscle over technique. That changed everything. Actually, my coach also chews gum when he rolls. I’m not to that level yet. I would choke myself out if I did that.

Even though I'm "weak a f" in weight lifting terms I often press people off of me, and everyone asks how long I wrestled for. I never "wrestled", I just GRIND when I'm on the mat Those with terrible strength and conditioning and decent technique are the first to knock strength and conditioning

If I sense that someone less experienced than me is trying to use too much strength, I defend and let them squeeze or whatever to their hearts content. Then the moment they let up and I sense they are tired, I sweep and sub. Higher belts in my gym don't do the strength thing because well, they are higher belts. It's always a white belt thing and I use it against them.

A brown belt in my gym and I were talking about this after training tonight. He had said how I should use strength more so I can get that edge on opponents who are otherwise on par with me. In the past people have said how I’m strong (even when I didn’t realize I had used much of it). I try to use more technique in my rolls and seem to do well (I’m currently a white belt), but I’m wondering how much my game would change by using more strength while staying technical

@zakkzahariev7080 Жыл бұрын
This is a constant topic in our gym, I wonder what your take is. As a white belt with already a year in BJJ, is it better to: 1) Learn a system of moves that works together well (2-3 submissions, 2-3 sweeps), and non-stop apply it and troubleshoot it. In other words try to only play this system for 8-10 months. OR 2) Continue to get more well-rounded, focus on every possible move that they teach you in class and avoid repeating your tactics so often Thank you!

mix everything you can mate. from my view as a guy who mainly likes to play top position, there are only so many good positions to be on top and just control and hold someone down with. so I wanna mix all my takedowns/footsweeps/throws (or pulling guard), with all of my good top positions, and then go for the closest good submission I know from where I am and what I see
@shrimuyopa81173 жыл бұрын
People need to stop complaining about strength. Its different if you give the other person some advice to help their jiu-jitsu. Like, "Hey if you focus more on technique than strength you won't tire out as fast." Versus, "Hey you were using way too much strength against me in that roll." For me, I am happy to roll with someone bigger and stronger than me. It helps prove that my technique works against someone strong. And if it doesn't work, than I can start to analyze the flaws in my technique.

If I had to pick an area to be really physically strong in it would be core strength. I'm constantly working on my core. Deadlifts, Russian twists, crunch machine. HIT workouts for cardio. Stretching everyday for flexibility. Man Jiu Jitsu is definitely a lifestyle everything is important if you don't want to get smashed all the time gotta do stuff off the mats and also be on a healthy diet.

Relying on strength becomes a crutch. Toss it aside. Overcome it and by using less strength you will save that energy in the tank for opportunistic explosive moments during a roll and will allow more rounds of rolling after most of your academy are packing it up to go home. More rolling leads to more development and growth.

I am 6’ tall and weigh 220 pounds.I accidentally tweaked two peoples pre existing injuries over the few months I’ve been training at this new academy. (one being a hurt rib in side control, the other being a tweaked elbow in a counter to a one handed push drill) I use to wrestle (Folk style and Greco Roman) and I’ve done Gracie jiu jitsu (the art I’ve trained most recently) traditional/combat Hapkido, Brazilian jiu jitsu, A little Goshin jiu jitsu, traditional Taekwondo, Judo and Krav Maga.My favorite Proffessor recently told me he didn’t think his Academy was a good fit for me because I possibly have a baby that’s going to be born in 8 or 9 months but I don’t see why I wouldn’t be a good fit.. He said if I wasn’t going to be there for the long term he’d rather not take my money. When i asked if there was any other reason he said that he thought I needed more stability in my life. This was crushing to hear.. why do you think he said this? Do you think there is a way to change his mind? I can easily go back to sport bjj but I really don’t want to and I love grappling but if I have to train Dutch and Thai kickboxing instead I guess I’ll have to.. Thanks for taking the time if you choose to!

@Please_allow_me8 ай бұрын
I'm here a year late but can I ask how having a baby had an impact if at all? I only ask because my little girl is due in 7 weeks, and I've quite recently started martial arts again, primarily I'm doing combat submission wrestling which is a no gi MMA of various grappling styles. Only one session per week, an hour of drills followed by 30 minutes of rolling. It's not a lot but it suffices for my goals. I already train like mad in the gym, have respectable numbers in the 'big 3' and do cardio etc. I'm also a police officer as well so all that's done alongside shift work. Sorry for being long winded, no one I know with a kid balances it with the commitments like I am so I've gotta search KZbin for like minded individuals 😊

Of course you want to develop technique and good technique can overcome strength, but if you have a physical advantage (and you aren't already more skilled than your opponent), you should use it like Jocko said - just enough. If you were more agile, faster, more flexible than your opponent, nobody is saying don't use those assets.

It depends on your goals, but I would say learn gi first. You can do everything no gi while wearing a gi, but you can't do any gi work in no gi. In other words, learn all the tools and techniques that come with gi work, then figure out which of those tools work in a no gi context. That said, literally every gym I've trained at does gi Mon-Thu and no gi on Fri, so you can get some work in both.
